    Honestly, it was probably the quickest capture I've been a part of thus far. Less than five minutes for sure.

    Same cost, same "displacement", same DPS as ballistae.

    Double the HP (can withstand more fire)
    Longer loading time allowing for manning of up to 6 by a single person (if placed in a circle) or alternatively more time spent purging/healing and less time firing.
    Same reach as ballistae but lobbed shots allow for a secondary function as counter siege.

    There's no reason to have a ballista any more.

    You sure? My tests showed identical DPS. 4k shots every 14" for Trebs, 2k shots every 7" for ballistas.

    9k on the flaming oil is high for sure, but considering most cases where it's used, at least as far as I've seen in my experience, there's almost always a healing circle going on where those pots are aimed either on flags, breach points, rams, etc. In our testing we found it's a nasty hit, but can be healed through if someone is healing. Also note that it won't kill you outright, but it will get close.

    Standard ballista still hit for 2k on keeps and flame/lightning still hit for 1k on keeps. The damage bonuses to Trebs increases the anti-keep DPS of Ice way higher than it used to be, Flame got a good bump, and Stone trebs now have the highest dps. Granted Trebs have a slow reload (13.8s) compared to ballista (7s) but the damage boost for the Stone makes it the most damage now vs. keeps.

    Doors\Keep walls can be differentiated between, and while we have experimented with adding door DoTs, we currently are not looking to add DoT damage to keep walls\doors.

    We had Root for Ice trebs at one point internally and that was REALLY disliked as you had to burn stamina to get free while you're already in a combat heavy scenario. I get that's the whole point of having to choose between using stamina for abilities vs. break out of a siege weapon CC, but it was a layer added beyond player CC that wasn't desired.

    No plans currently for trying to shoot the inner wall vs. outer.

    Ballista has more reach under circumstances. For example a ballista placed on the small hill behind warden mine tower can hit the back wall of warden keep, while a treb can not.

    Nice. I don't know how I missed wheeler's comment, it would have saved me time testing time (d'oh). I counted 14s to reload of treb so I guess I wasn't far off from the 13.8".

    I wonder what prompted them to make two tenths shorter. Because right now, it doesn't seem like there are many uses for the ballista. Trebs offer more 9/10 times.

    I see the point in stone trebuchets but fire? Or was it defended?

    Confirmed : stone trebs have the highest dps against walls. Spread the word, I still see way too many players sieging with normal balistas including experienced guilds.
