Guild Wars 2

Yes, I know that the title seems a bit silly. You want there to be a Burst skill for the F1 slot when wield a Banner summoned object? Are you crazy? Well… Maybe so. However I’ve started to fall in love with wielding the Banner in battle.

(This thread has also been cross-posted in the Warrior forum in the hopes of getting some Warrior player feedback.)

Depending on the Banner you’re wielding, it isn’t that bad in combat. I’ve gotten used to wielding the Banner of Strength when running around in open world content. While I’ll still weapon switch to instantly drop the Banner (as per the standard rules for carried objects) when I’m getting over whelmed, I have been able to kill a surprising number of mobs at a respectable rate and have kept my sense of style in the process.

Banners are one of our class features. It’s always felt a bit strange that we can’t access a Burst skill for the Banner weapons. To me, it just makes sense to have them. Even if they share a single Burst skill, I think that it would really add something to the flavor of the Warrior class.
