Assault on EB Red Keep

I've only been part of a successful invasion on the EB Red Keep once. Now maybe that's the problem right there

But that one successful invasion was right through the front door. Attacking the 1st door with trebs from Veloka (not easy I know) and then a few golems on the 2nd door -> Porting 3 golems with 2 mesmers from Veloka.

I'm certain that once we're inside the Lord's room we can overrun ET.

I've been involved in a number of attempts through the water gate and they all failed with only a small dent in the doors up top. That runway is just a kill zone. When the water gate is down any golems are less than 70% health already due to AC fire that can't be countered. Then those injured golems are strolling up the catwalk under AC fire and reduced to pulp while the rest of the zerg are acrobatically dodging around out of AC AoE rings.

I'm just wondering why the water gate is such a big attraction and what the success rate actually is?


I understand that Veloka can be easily counter trebbed from Red Keep, but if we bypass Pangloss and rush Veloka then a treb could be up and firing in no time. We can then focus on fragging ET while they try and swarm into the keep while building Golems inside Veloka.
