I need answers

Aight so I just need to understand how does attacking territory work. Because I swear the moment I enter and that countdown hits zero I die by some invisible force. Like absolutely swatted.

All seriousness though, I would like a quick break down on what was mentioned.

 

Guild towers are split into 5 defence categories: very low, low, medium, high and very high. The damage goes up a ton with each category, at around medium defence you're going to be one tapped if you are the one taking the tower's aggro if you don't have a tank build.
If you are solo warring the only defence you can easily take with a normal build not made specifically for warring is very low. The higher defences can be taken with specialized builds, but it is way easier and faster with a team with a designated healer, tank and DPS.

 

how would i know whose taking aggro to attack said tower though?

And you mention there's specific builds to take on towers. Can that be elaborated on?

 

You can tell who takes aggro because the name of the player will become bold and move to the top of the scoreboard. The tower aggros on the player closest to the tower when the war starts. It is best to have a tanky player take aggro.
A DPS war build looks a lot like this:

WynnBuilder build:
> Blood Moon
> Twilight-Gilded Cloak
> Post-Ultima
> Warchief
> Breezehands
> Diamond Fiber Ring
> Knucklebones
> Recalcitrance
> Alkatraz []
The damage would be a lot higher with a build that uses crafted armour and accessories.

 

this certainly is a build..
