Warband support skill
TBH I think racials should have been left out of the game altogether. They just can’t actually be useful and still fit their idea that all races are equally good for any class, which leaves us with novelty skills that are barely, if ever, worth actually using. That just makes them feel cheap and junky.

You can take my Charrzooka when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!
Err, I mean ‘I disagree.’ I think the racials adds a fun bit of extra variety to the classes. Not everything has to be optimized, and many of the skills aren’t totally useless.
I agree with the thread author. I think the Warband skill needs either a longer duration, or shorter cooldown. Although I think the latter is more likely than the former. It’s just no fun to use (unlike the Charrzooka or Battle Roar.) I feel much the same way about the Artillery Barrage’s bizarrely short targeting range.
All I know is the toolbelt skill for Hidden Pistol is awsome and gives me a nice extra bit of damage output on my Engi. If the damage wasn’t good enough it’s kind of hilarious to see your charr shooting bullets from the wrong side of the gun. I still don’t know if this is a bug or intentional, like a second barrel hidden in the handle of the pistols.
They’re useless enough that there’s basically no reason besides novelty to have them slotted. It’s like that one gun in a FPS you really want to like but no matter how you try to make it useful, you’d always be better off with something else.
I hate game design that says ‘you can have fun here, but only if you sacrifice effectiveness’.
I prefer Warband Support over my other Warrior Elites actually. I just wish that, ya know, it was my warband…Maybe the should call it Legion Support? Or, Reinforcements?

If you’re on a european server, I’d be happy to demonstrate the inferiority of your choice of elites via WvW should our servers ever compete. ;P
Oh, I don’t do WvW, it’s boring, to me anyway. I stick to PvE.

Battle roar’s an okay racial. Except when my Ash thief starts shouting about Blood and Iron. No, stick with “Ash is Death!”. And I want Charrzooka. You’re not taking that away. And how’s WvWvW boring? I find it fun, and something’s always happening. I find sPvP boring though.
I love all things Charr. They’re badkitten!
I thought it was ‘ashes and death’ or something. I don’t think those are legion based.
No, she keeps saying “Ash is death!” And then she said something about Iron and Blood. I thought they were legion based, but they might not be.

No, sorry, turns out it is “Ashes and Death!” Also, “Guns and Iron!” and “Fury and Blood!” So looks like you’re right.

Warband Support useless? I think that’s a very narrow minded look at the skill. My experience using it with a ranger is positive. It appears that they are affected by AoE buff stacking- which the ranger and its pets are no stranger to. They are also good distractions and with camouflage they can work like a mesmer with illusions- i can only imagine how chaotic a necro or mesmer could make the battlefield appear. It is a dynamic and fun skill that has usefulness in a variety of situations.
