The new war meta is apparently to pull off the point, let a bunch of the attackers all group up onto it, and then a bunch of people run in and detonate and it wipes out everyone on the point. The detonate does something like 6-7k damage.
So attack wars will basically consist of having no more than one of two people trying to cap the point because if too many of them get in they will just get detonated on.
Meanwhile the cannon blast does less than a single musket shot lmao.
Yeah well the cannon blast is a ranged ability so obviously AGS had to make it complete dog crap and only cater to the melee range abilities that the devs use.
