    Too many bad groups are not being penalized for not using anti-siege abilities and dodging instinctively when they have low HP

    Like in real. If you are burning, just roll. I can understand that. But block?

    Sounds like a l2p issue. How dare they use weapons designed to deal with ball groups! Ankael plays a magnecro with usually only one other player, and does it well, there is no love between me and a lot of DC, but I have nothing but respect for their duo groups.

    Has nothing to do with ball groups they even set up siege on you when you are trying to 1v1 someone.

    Move two meters to the left, or go somewhere else. Bashing on them for using super slow siege weapons that are incredibly easy to dodge is uncalled for. There are far more annoying and cheap things atm, like wandering groups of wardens spamming Beatles and onslaughts. They brought up a legit issue.

    You obviously don't PvP much or you would know that the circle from siege is invisible a lot of the time.
    Whatever you wouldn't last long as I make it a priority to take out siege first.
    For the record I have no problem with using siege to take or defend keeps.
    It is the current trend to drop siege in every open field fight that is bad.

    I play PvP every day smarty pants. And yeah, I know how the circle issue is, but that is usually only the case when there is tons of people around. Do you play PvP ? 🤨

    because its a good solution. Cold fire weapons are very powerful and not everyone has a pocket healer, or good class heals.

    Can we stop with personal accusations and focus on the bug at hand? Im talking about not being able to defend keeps not zerging down small scalers with coldfires.

    1v1?

    I seen a DC "general" set one up in a 5v1.
    Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.

    Same thing with the Dawnbreaker DoT, not that anyone uses it anymore because of the cast time. I bet other DoTs are affected too, but DoTs across the board are too weak for anyone to notice or care.

    The person dropping siege alone in the open is taking a much bigger risk than anyone running in the stack of healbots they're firing at. You even end up with some decent outnumbered fights killing the guys leaving their zerg to burn your meatbag. I recommend stepping outside your ball and trying it, you'd be surprised how siege can be used skillfully.

    Zerging people down with siege is no worse than zerging them down with anything else. Actually, I'd rather the zerg fire siege at me than chain pull spam me...

    On fire, not covered in burning hot oil and hellfire.

    Exactly. " We play small scale " is just them putting a mask on zerging down solo or duo players.
