Treb mastery = dream come true!!!!!

World vs. World Trebuchet Mastery
Become a master of destruction with the new Trebuchet Mastery ability line! Increase your efficiency with Trebuchets by upping your basic shot damage, increasing your Trebuchets’ hit radius, adding a new supply-draining effect to your basic shot, and learning a new Healing Oasis skill that provides healing to your teammates.

World vs. World XP and Point adjustments
We’re making it easier to earn World XP points for playing normally in World vs. World by increasing the WXP rate across the board! As an added bonus, we’re adjusting World vs. World Ability Points so that your total points are equal to your current rank. New characters will start off with one ability point, and all existing characters will receive one more!

The WXP boost is to basically everything and should significantly increase the rate at which characters gain ranks.

^And ascended gear. Why can’t we get ascended back items for badges? What about when ascended armor and weapons come out? Will WvW players get shafted again? I don’t want to craft or run fractals. I’d rather kill people and use my badges to buy better gear so I can kill more people.

The back items will be coming, and any and all future ascended gear will not be excluded from WvW if I have anything to say about it, and I do.
