Siege damage

Docmandu · May 2015

Getting sooooo tired of having ballistas in every nook and cranny of Cyrodiil, esp in BWB.

Again, seige damage in 1.5 was fine, not too high, not too low, but people wanted to see something more realistic and now we have it. At the start of 1.6 seige damage was terribly low, and now in my opinion its terribly high, I don't see how its so hard to simply scale the damage up the same way they scaled our health.

I don't mind it being high... but the fact that it's literally EVERYWHERE kinda bugs me. People prefer to put up siege in the field than actually fighting people.

Do you realize that the reason siege is everywhere is because the damage is so high?

True.. and it's easy / safe to shoot people that are fighting other people.

Damage is ridiculous atm. Unless you are that kind of guy who siege and who doesn't disengage and die from dots. Then it's a problem of skills and not of siege damage. I even came back to vamp weeks ago and I manage to keep myself up from a cold fire treb easily without using purge. Siege damage need a buff (by nerfing purge).

And they need to rebuff the oil cats and make it so the effect can't be purged. They used to be one of the most useful tools for inner keep defense. Now they're crap.

Siege damage really isn't a big deal if you have purge on your bar, or roll out of it, or have healers nearby. I'm with Frozen in that I'd prefer it to be buffed even, or for some other anti-zerg tools to be buffed at least.

i would like to point out that Purge is the entire reason a group of 10-24 can run around a keep with 10 seige on them without really dieing. 2 people on purge and siege does nothing.

put a cooldown on the effect of actually being purged, even a 2-5 second one and it would be fine. most would not suffer at all but those that stack and have constant purges to run right through 4 oils, 2 trebs, 7 ballistas and one very confused ram.

of course those groups have some of the biggest yelling presences on the forums and would GG/unsub/QQ out the ass if their precious ability to stack in seige fire was taken away from them even more than they did when Ground oils were taken away.

as a seperate note, some seige is still quite useless.. Scattershots still are a waste of AP and Ice Trebs are pretty much useless.

Scattershot needs either double thier current damage or a Knockdown or similar CC to be viable, and Ice Trebs need to have a DOT like lightning, or a Immobilize or Petrify or similar CC that completly prevents movement in addition to their snare.

also, fire seige, particurly the Fire trebs are hilariously overrated. Save the Cold stuff you are better off using a Lightning Ballista.
