Not sure if this is posted somewhere already but after todays siege hotfix there is now the issue that their dmg completely ignores block mitigation… again.

    personally i think it should stay this way, siege already feels borderline ineffective with all the healing, and then if someone puts up a siege shield its like you can practically ignore it entirely anyway

    also gives people a way to kill those ridiculous time wasting troll tanks

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    DOTs arent supposed to be blockable or dodgeable. Seems like a bugfix to me

    Actually I can recall several times in real life when I've been hit with a ballista bolt and and just blocking with my arms or the nearest shield type object just caused me no damage at all. Wait, never mind that was the latest Superhero movie I saw.

    Working as intended now is my opinion.

    did u misunderstand? I didn't mean block it so it does not apply. I said the block mitigation. You have always been able to block siege damage including the applied dot from oils, meatbags etc. ALL siege dmg is now ignoring block mitigation.

    It's not working as intended tho so your opinion is wrong sorry.

    Siege dmg is already really really strong...
    oils do 25k dmg + defbuff + stack
    meatbags stack and will ez do 20k DPS if stacked + debuff
    coldstone Trebs do ez 17-20k dmg per hit + DoT

    if you think about the tooltips, siege weapons will have 50k+ tooltipp (before PvP mitigation is applied)

    You should deffnetly be able to aply block mitigation to siege dmg....as it was the last years.
