Slightly different take on rams...

A different approach that I found hard to argue with: Instead of maximizing the % you are trying to get (100%), hit the button as quickly as possible, for the purpose of wasting as little time as possible. The theory is that the wasted time "building up" power is NOT worth the time loss. You really only lose about 5k damage per strike with 4 ppl on the ram doing 100% vs. 50%. Divide 5k damage by 4 ppl and the fact that each swing takes more than one second, you get an idea of the "general" dps gain/loss. I have seen it used in practice, but havent ever actually timed/collected data/etc to know if/what difference it makes...just a theory that might be worth trying. Sorry for rambling. :D

With the new system it will be interesting to see what the 'more powerful' built Rams will be about. Or if they will even be worth the effort to get. Through I would hope that the more powerful rams would be enough to break through the rebuilding of doors, or perhaps a siege will truly be a siege now. [Of course that will lead to boredom and the abandonment of action]

one things for sure...those new rams sure have a crap ton of hp...takes forever to drop one with oil...
