"im in ur base killin ur d00dz”"

So, there I was, defending a keep. I was working hard trying to destroy the enemy's siege weaponry and keep oil pouring over the gate. The next thing I know I am being attacked. Where did everyone go? Oh, they are all fighting, dead, or dying. I learned a little too late that I guess players (nightblades with teleport strike I assume along with a fighter's guild skill) have learned to circumvent the whole giant-wall-provides-protection thing. Is the feeling that this is just a clever strategy or is it an unintended way for people to get around the established obstacles that players need to overcome in order to capture a keep? Your thoughts?

I think you should pay more attention next time?

Mistform speed buff past all the oils right up to the guy pouring it. Kill him. Insta win. People get tunnel vision when they're on siege equipment. There is little benefit to staying on siege while its reloading. I get most of my pvp kills off of people that just stay on siege waaay too long

It's a little from column A, a little from column B.

Devs don't want people to be able to easily get past walls without going through the game's intended system. Especially not the temple gates, and especially not if DK spies are chain pulling friends in the other alliance over the wall. (That's not to say they've instituted an effective way to stop that.)

On the other hand, using a gap closer to get onto the wall can be a legit strategy, that will still leave you outnumbered among the enemy, unless done in an organized way, and still not get you into the inner keep.

obviously its a feature. nightblades are meant to be assassins uc? ofc they should have a way to circumvent walls.

This is why I'm on top guarding the pots for sieges...

Thank you. I guess I was feeling too comfortable in my keep.

What fighters guild skill is this? Im a nightblade and that sounds really appealing to me! I would love to go up there and kill all those people that get off the wall as soon as I hit them with a single arrow. Idk I looked at all the fighters guild skills and morphs again and I dont see anything related to getting more range on ambush.
