Guild Wars 2

I don’t mind Aetherblade Warbanners doing some damage when they get dropped.
But they currently do a ridiculous amount of damage (most of the time one-shotting) a group of people.
They don’t even have an noticeable animation and/or sound to tell when I have to dodge roll.

You guys really need to stop these one-shot attacks in future content, it’s not really a challenge.
Give them more interesting mechanics in the future (like Molten Berserker for example).

When they raise their hands up above their head, they are about to drop a banner. It’s the same for the normal warrior skill, its rather telegraphed.

they DO have a noticeable sound tiering up for 2-3 seconds before the hit… dodging them is really easy since there is no other sound in the game that sounds like that. It’s like if you try to absorb air to breathe really hard. (my english sucks xDD no idea how to explain it!)

Also next time check for similar threads: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/escape/Elite-Thugs

It’s quite difficult to see when you are fighting them in a group to be honest.
