I recently picked up the game again, after not playing for many years. I did get to 40 last time on a KotBS, but as i could not really remember what/how i was doing on that character, i decided to make a new WL, as i wanted to try out a dps class, since i have mostly played a healer/support in pvp games. It has been some chaotic fun so far and i have reached level 31 by solo queueing SC's and joining random open warbands for RVR.
But even though it has been fun, i'm not that certain of what i should be doing during keep sieges to be effective, or atleast not toally useless on a melee dps character. I would therefor love to hear your best tips and tricks for helping during a keep siege or defence.
I also have a few questions about some of the mechanics:
- I have an ability that allows me to enter the postern door of an enemy keep, but i have not figured out how this can be used effectively. If i go inside, i will just get crushed by the defenders, as i wont have any healer and tank backup. Is this mostly a WH or WL thing, to pick off isolated people, or can it be useful as a WL?
- Once the keep reaches 2 stars, rams and siege machinery becomes available. Is this just on a cooldown, or does it consume keep resources to spawn/fire? I once activated a destered cannon, but it said it was out of ammo. In order to shoot, do you need to get new boxes, or just spawn a new cannon?
- Using the ram seems like a tank job, while the healers are busy healing everyone. As far as i can gather, it is the job of a melee dps to buff the ram (Once i get the level for this) and guard postern doors in order to prevent more defenders slipping inside. Is this correctly understood, or is there something else that should be done, while the doors are broken down?
