1.6 Cyrodiil - Siege Equipment is a Joke - Purge is stronger than before

Was this what was intended? 2k fire ticks on 30k health pools really? Decreased cost of purge, really? Come on...

    I thought a player would take increased damaged from siege engines. Sounds like oil (a player favorite) is probably pretty useless now too.

    Idk man, but fire balistas are laughable. Meat doesn't do anything either wit hthe reduced cost of purge

    2k is roughly equal to 200 on live. That sounds pretty reasonable for 1 tick, and health isn't scaling up as much as everything else is.

    Seeing how purge has been useless since 1.5 went live with the elemental wall BS, who cares? Are you mad because you wont be able to use an ability that was not working as intended? Welcome back to the game PURGE. 30k health pools is an over the top estimate lol on average 20k is what health pools are at.

    On live fire ballista ticks for 400 (600 on vampires).

    except fire ballistas were ticking for 400 (vs non-vamps) on live and Zos indicated that seige would do *more* damamge...

    ? Everyone knows about the bug. I hope that's fixed.

    Most people on pts are 27k-30k hp. Siege equipment doing 2.3kish dmg to those health pools is like nothing. Couple that with purge being less expensive, you might aswell take siege equipment out the game. My heavy attacks do more damage.

    Good. Sieging players is already nothing more than a nuisance and every level, class, and build should be able to find something more productive to do.

    Siege has always been weak. Its only purpose is to bang on walls.

    Maybe they upped the ones no one usually uses. Has anyone had any experience with the Lighting Balistas, Gravel catapults, and Ice Trebs yet?

    On the live server, I usually run into one or two idiots a day who are unaware of the current Purge bug as they wipe out entire invasion teams in blissful ignorance:
