    OIL like every other siege weapon should not be shieldable and should ignore resistances.

    Barely anyone will want to pvp if everyone gets dunked by 2 ticks of oil, or essentially 1-shotted if more than 1 oil is on you.

    Thanks guys, confirming we've seen this and are investigating.

    Keep it, where people have less technical proficiency they may have tactics and cunning on their side.

    Plus this melts ball groups.

    This reminds me. Rapids was just nerfed. Although this bug really diminishes seeing its effect

    I'm a proponent to spreading out. Since I can't get collision detection. I'll settle for this until changes make clustering damning.

    I would like it to stay this way. Seige should freaking hurt, and you should fear it.

    wtf r u talking about, I do fear siege and don't normally stand in it - but 30k damage in 2 seconds is not something I can live through - I quit playing - 3rd time I died to same *** I was just running by and couldn't even see the animation to avoid.

    Update: Unfortunately this isn't something we're able to hotfix, but we're trying to get the fix into Monday's incremental patch.

    Siege should be the hardest hitting thing in Cyrodiil.

    I hope they can't fix this and it becomes a "feature". I love seeing sorc's salty tears in the forums. Yummy.

    *sarcasm start* How do you get your siege to target specific classes? *sarcasm end*

    I would love for this to be a feature. Nothing is more tedious than pouring 2 oil caudrons on players repeatedly to have them magic through it or just shrug it off.

    This, PvP just isn't about being the most technically proficient dueler or 1 v Xr or vast, brain dead numbers. It has elements of tactics and cunning.

    Siege hitting hard is a step to a design that supports technical proficiency, cunning, and tactics.

    Right now it just supports pressing buttons in sequence or numbers.

    There is literally nothing about siege that requires "tactics and cunning". It is a crutch for point-and-click heroes and vastly favors larger groups, who can set down more of it, do so before smaller groups, and take less risk setting it down since the smaller groups need to move to survive and engage in actual tactical play.

    Agree. Something flawed when five oils are pouring down on a zerg at the front door, and no one dies. They stand there like it's a refreshing hot shower.

    It's almost like they're actually not just standing there, but are instead pumping out massive amounts of heals, purges, and siege shields in order to survive. Maybe once they fix this nonsense you should coordinate your pour timing with your group so that you might actually get some kills instead of giving people every opportunity to purge it off.

    Look forward to the siege group with the mad skillz standing under the oil tonight. They will need to up their game.

    Pretty sure people are just going to stop sieging keeps, unless you want to give a go at attacking a location.

    Ah, yes, a "glorious change" that if left unchanged will likely lead to less income and poor word-of-mouth for Zeni. Bean counters won't let that stand for long.

    I'm not so sure they care about poor word of mouth at this point. What can be said about them that hasn't been said already?

    Remaining perfectly stationary and spamming the most powerful damaging ability in the game is now apparently cunning and skilled gameplay.
