Today has to be one of the most frustrating days in wvw. I always tell people to not lay siege down. I’ll lay it down. So we start hitting sm (normally not a good idea but hey, sometimes it works.) And I’m like “build this 1 ballista.” You know. To take out cannons and oil. So the ballista gets built and I look toward the gate. When I look back around I see 3 ballistas. Only 1 being manned. Now you would think with roughly 16-20 people we wouldn’t want to build 3 ballistas but it happens I guess. We eventually get 2 rams up about 5 minutes l8r and get sm gate down. Here’s the next problem we have. I tell people to wp back to keep to get supply for inner since we were completely out. Out of roughly 24 people at that moment I see 3 wp back. I start to yell on map chat to wp back or well be forced to pvdoor the gate for the next 20 minutes. So I wait 2 minutes and I see all of our players on the walls with no supply at northeast inner gate. Again I say “We need supply wp back. Don’t be a kitten Be a winner” ( That’s my phrase. Don’t be using it HOD!!!!!)About 5 minutes after that with 1 hod that finally shows up I recheck supply. The people that i just ported did not get supply. We still have 8 supply after roughly 7 minutes. Now I may be wrong but 8 supply does not give us a ram. At that point I start yelling at people cause this is the 4th or 5th time have been to inner sm with no hod or fc inside and it goes to crap this week alone. Now at about 12 minutes inside sm, people finally understand we need supply. About 6-8 people wp back and bring supply. “Sweet we can get 2 rams up I guess”…. was what I was thinking. As we start putting the rams down about 10 hod show up. Ok maybe we can still get sm. Not so fast. 1 minute l8r 20 more hod show up. SO now it’s not looking so good when suddenly…………boom 30 fc come at the northeast gate from the right. At this point we had to back off to the wall and fc did all the work getting inner nw gate down. So we let fc and hod fight inside lords room for about 30 seconds and we move into sm to try and hit hod from a different entrance. We pick south entrance but see that fc is already there. I try to tell people to back off were going north east gate. Nope says et well kill fc then go into lords room and kill hod. Quite a few of us and fc end up dying in the fight and from there on fc and et end up fighting one another to get into lords room. We end up letting fc take south side sm eventually And I again try to get our group focused on the northeast entrance. I see about 20 people running rt by me. I yell port and run right beside them. Some say on chat where’s the port we don’t know where you’re at……………… I have the commander tag on and I’m the only commander there. WTH ET!! Where was I. Oh yeah. So I’m running rt in the middle of 20 peps and switch to say chat and continue saying port. They keep running so I say “ kitten port rt here” and I lay it rt down in the middle of them. 2 use the port. Now we had about 15 people at that northeast entrance and 20 more would’ve helped us a lot, cause hod was starting to push. Event 25 of us would’ve held off their push. 35 would’ve been great though, but it happens. Gonna skip about 5 minutes of the battle due to our wp being contested, me walking back, and dying once through sm gate due to some fc, and walking back again. So when I get back I see were in a good position to push. I lay 3 ac’s down. They get built sweet. I use the ac. I get about 15 bags in 15 seconds. Again sweet. I see about 35 of us not dead. Again sweet. So I say " ok everyone for god sakes listen. We are gonna push on me and go right once we get inside lords room." Then I say pushing in 5 seconds" Then I say “go go go” I get inside lords room and what do I see. Some ac’s in my spot. Not your spot hod. My spot cause Ive wrecked you way to many times there before you ever started putting ac’s there. Where was I? Oh yeah as I was saying. I see 2 ac’s on each side of the stairs to second floor and I look behind me. No one followed………. I commence my attack on the ac’s and die. Ok no big deal. No one pushed so they should be ok. I go to click on our wp and boom sword pops up for garrison. I’m gonna skip 2 minutes due to the long walk to sm again.
Guys it is very easy to counter the ac’s. this is what you got to do.
Get 40 players.
Get 50g
Build 10 omegas.
Put 10 mesmers in omegas.
Break the gate.
Omegas go in and spread to 10 different spots.
All 10 mesmers get out of omegas.
Find the best route to get back to your 20 players.
Port them all in.
Hope you enjoy.
Hi I was wanting to get some people’s opinions as to how long siege stays in place before disappearing if left untouch. I always here 30 minutes but, there are some places I’ve laid siege that I’m sure no one’s touched it and it will be there hours l8r. Also wanting to see if there are differences in time between normal, superior, and guild siege.
Keeping the confusion glamour build. It will still be effective.
Glamour builds will still be good after update. I’ll continue using carrion gear for max confusion
I don’t know what other classes have but for sylvari the elite skill take root is perfect for 1-1 fights when using glamour builds. ( yes I know confusion is getting nerfed however, I believe the glamour build will still be good)
I have 1 character I use and he’s a glamour confusion built Mesmer. Do I hate that they’re nerfing the build. Hell yeah I do. Do I believe they need to though. Hell yeah I do. The glamour build is way op against large groups and is way to good at 1-1 fights if done right.
Honestly scepter for Mesmer is one of my favorite weapons. If your set up right with a glamour build and use with focus and staff. It’s easy to get 3k confusion on 80-90% of players, 5k confusion about every other time, and 7k confusion quite a few times a day. Glamour build is very good at one on one fights, and is quite effective for 1-2 and 1-3 situations. With that being said I still see the glamour build being solid and useful event after the 50% reduction.

Lets face the facts. Sf PVdoor’d for 3 months in tier 8, couldn’t even get out of tier 8 without massive QQing from thier server to Anet. There is no wonder why you guys just aren’t good. Gates don’t hit back.
One more tidbit , it seems your karma/xp/wxp trains from your first week here are gone. My guess is they can’t stand the stomach of the express waypoint service we at NSP provide. Therefore your weekday population is slowly dwindling.
I feel with each week we are getting stronger, can you say the same ?
me: ( new to this ) The point gap from them in tier 8 to et and fc was so huge that it was nearly impossible to go up a tier. Sf deserve to be in this tier. Tactic wise between servers I’ve seen some differences but not anything that makes one server stand out from the other. Gz to sf for having bigger #‘s. Will expect to see you in tier 5 in a couple months. Gonna have to get out of that heads up thinking though you guys got from tier 8. You’ll have time to adept though which Is good.
For hod. They do a good job seeing the way the map is played and leech off of it. ( Gets us mad but hey, I would do the same.) Sometimes though I’ve watched them lose almost there whole map to save a keep on another map. Worse one was watching them lose there hills today to sf when they had over 25 guys at nw supply camp. (orange swords were up on hills for about 8 minutes) Will probably focus on keeping durios paper this reset, until they get out of are area. Nsp. you gotta make hod know that when they mess with are area there will be repercussions. We tend to go phew there out of are area and go on as if they disappeared. Sometimes you gotta let 1 enemy server take a supply camp to squash the enemy on the other side.
