Guild Wars 2

Why is there no Elite Shout? Signets and Banners are wonderful, but one of the best supportive rolls of the Warrior is the Shout Healer/ Condition Removal build. I believe it would do well to have an Elite shout that possibly gets fallen comrades up, increase movement speed (or removes fear) or could even give a temporary condition immunity. There are a lot of options available. Personally, I think the best balance would be to give Regen, Condition Removal, and long term Stability. This would make the Warrior very useful as the clutch support for WvWvW, dungeons, and Events. Stability isn’t offered in Shout form yet, and a large Regen would help in all ways.

Hmm strange, but isn’t the banner doing exactly this? It revives allies, gives regen(when traited, if all other skills are shouts its especially good), removes all CC and adds long timed fury and 3x might. I don’t see the need of another support like skill in the warrior elites.

Chances are Warriors haven’t got a Stability / Regen shout because Guardians have (“Hold The Line!” and “Stand Your Ground!”)

They could have just made “I Will Avenge You!” an Elite shout.

Yeah Banner warriors are just as effect as shout warriors fyi.

In general i would agree except by far the heal provided and condition removal of a fully traited shout warrior with all six Soldier Runes provides far more utility than a Banner Warrior. The heals and Condition removal are far superior in close quarters battles, where banners provide less utility due to the movement of the banner. However, the banner is superior in a large area, so it’s a trade-off. My only problem is I hate having a Signet on my bar. I know that’s a poor reason.
You can have a pure banner warrior, and a pure signet warrior, but not a pure Shout Warrior, which i feel is a better play. I just want the option of a serious Elite Shout. Nothing overpowered, just something with a useful role…

You kind of defended my statement and supported that Banner warriors are just as effective.

However, the banner is superior in a large area

Banner is great for groups mixed in ranged and melee shouts are great for all close range groups they are both just as effective as each other just in different aspects. Where one is weaker the other is stronger.
