Talk:Siege weapon

Can siege weapon be used by opponents?

Can siege weapons be used by the other teams when unattanded? How long do they stay there? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 121.73.35.86 (talk • contribs) at 00:41, 13 May 2012 (UTC).

They can't be used by other teams (you just end up attacking them). Fenyx 14:18, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Guild Siege

I don't have any so I can't test, but the main page does not mention change in supply cost. Does it cost the same even though the description says it is cheaper?

It's 50 for a guild golem and 25 for a guild catapult. Kousei Doragon 16:45, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Siege Research

I got some siege research going on in user:Fargone. It's a bit inaccurate and nowhere complete, so I'm not putting it up anywhere else yet. Fargone 10:25, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Despawn Timer

I heard a rumor that siege weapons will despawn in 30 minutes since their last use. Can anyone verify this? Kaffaljidhma 20:49, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

This would explain why the trebuchet I placed in a difficult-to-reach location was gone when I came back, despite my team holding the entire area in the mean time. I'll have to test this. --Ocelost 03:30, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

As of the May 28, 2013 patch, All Siege Weapons besides Flame Rams have a 60 minute despawn timer. Flame Rams have a 30 minute despawn timer (since they're likely to be destroyed before anyone has a chance or need to use them again).

No longer account bound

As of today's update Siege blueprints acquired today (and presumably after) can be traded on the TP. They seem to have "infected" my existing stacks of siege as the all of the 2 types of blueprints I acquired from the jumping puzzle today can be traded while the other siege that I have not newly acquired are not available for trade.

To turn BPs into tradeable ones, "use them" in WvW, then click 2 (cancel), which returns them to inventory. Fixes any in the same stack. 75.37.21.118 02:58, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Venom Share

Has anyone tested if a thief can apply venom to a siege weapon to improve damage as described here. If this does work then is it an appropriate addition to this article? ~ 1Maven (talk) 11:37, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Skill cooldowns

It is known that alacrity affects siege weapon cooldowns. What about if one player leaves a siege weapon immediately after using it, and another player starts using it? Is the cooldown associated with the siege weapon? 89.242.246.24 22:11, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

They actually removed alacrity effecting siege skill cooldowns in the July 16th patch. Good question for the swapping though. I haven't ever really tested it, but my gut is saying there's a global cooldown on the "instant reset" abilities and a longer global cooldown on the shield/skills with longer cooldowns. I feel like that behavior is what made sense. Might grab some friends later and test it out.--Rain Spell (talk) 00:35, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
