fun with catapults

[ceixava]

got bored of getting killed in emain and we thought we would go do some exping with catapults

our main chars built the catapults and passed the ammo to the alts

alts grouped and and our guild mate quenatir (eldritch) stood on the dampwood mite log and ae debuffed them to pile them up

one swift shot from the trebuchet and boom, all mites dead in one shot

made about 7 bubbles exp at lvl21, daigh's alt did 16 or so at lvl14

some screenshots

?!?!?

FROM ONE SHOT?
YIKES!

aftermath:

2 trebuchets used

11 bubs of exp from 21.2 ->
32 bubs of exp fomr 14 ->

level differenses prolly clamped exp some, so a full lvl 17-20 group would get shitloads of exp

+ great fun

Not being a seige weapon expert, is the trebuchet a better version of a catapult? I have seen a catapult at the parth farm but it certainly does not seem to have had that sort of impact.

The Trebuchet is the top range catapult made from Ironwood.

We did a similar thing with our guildmates.
Bard pulled the lot with an AE mez (guarded by shield hero).
Shoot the trebuchet and roll in the xp.
I was grouped with 3 others at the time and I made about 1 bub on really good pulls, half a bubble on most. Group was from lvl 23 to lvl 6 so it must have clamped soemwwher.
Respawn was not fast enough for maximum experience.
We did it at the Mites southeast of innis because that was easiest with the carrying and all. (patch 1.45 at the time so we needed more wood then you do now).
For a repeat I would think the mites near Ceannai are better because of the double spawn there.

Be carefull when you do this, when your targetting is a little off you won't kill all the mites in 1 shot and you could need a rez then.
