Detailed Explanations
Siege Disruptors
- Siege Disruptor reduce the damage of enemy siege by 66% and increase damage taken by 66%
- Purchase Disruptors through the Traps and Tricks vendor or Permanent Portable Provisioner
- Use of disruptors is mainly relevant to defenders, siege is unlikely to be in a place you can target with them as an attacker
- As long as you can do so without dying, your highest priority should be throwing disruptors at any siege you want to before moving to a safe place
- Disruptors are unblockable except by the bubbles created by catapult mastery
- The radius of a disruptor is larger than the bubble created by catapults, target catas with the outer edge of the targeting ring to avoid it
- Use to protect yourself when throwing a disruptor
Barrage
- Since doesn't require LoS to the target you can position yourself behind total cover from the enemy, don't stand on a wall unless you need to
- Keybind and use Snap Ground Target or Toggle Snap Ground Target to make it easy to aim
- Ground AoEs like target enemies closest to their center, so snapping your ground target guarantees that your target will be hit - make sure to target the siege you want the on
- Make sure not to snap your ground target when using a disruptor
on siege from a safe position
- Do not use the last charge of Weapon Swap to proc then use before the buff expires to reduce the cooldown
- You can use the last charge as long as you'll have another by the time Weapon Swap is ready again
. Instead wait and - Use
- only increases damage against the target you have when you cast the skill, like barrage it does not require LoS to the target
- Quickness can be cast before for
( ), , and after casting to increase your damage
- Focus on whichever siege is being used against your group. For a general priority list aim for, in order:
- Shield Generators
- Arrow Carts
- Ballista
- Trebuchets
- Catapults
- Flame Rams
- Siege Golems
Siege
- As a defender you should try to use siege during Weapon Swap downtime /
- Entering/exiting siege while in combat will proc , it does not work on siege skills so make sure to proc it with
- Siege doesn't deal damage unless a player is using it when the siege attack lands, be careful not to get off too early
