Guild Wars 2

As we all know the NPC champions in EOTM were designed to be much more difficult to kill than the normal wvw keep claimers. Because of this will we be able to see a possible redesign on the Warbanner/Revive mechanic on the champions?
There have been plenty of fights in EOTM where we are taking down the main Keep Champion which takes ages to defeat, be instantly revived to take another eternity to bring back down.

TL;DR
Will war banner mechanic be changed for champions in EOTM because of the increased difficulty to bring down?|

Warbanner should not work on any NPCs, including keep and Stone Mist lord. Or at least it should NOT revive them to full health.

Warbanner should not work on any NPCs, including keep and Stone Mist lord. Or at least it should NOT revive them to full health so you have to rekill the champion then secure the control point and rid of any enemy players.

War Banner or a Res Signet does not revive to 100% heath, it does however restart the control point to 0%.

it doesnt revive them to full health but i agree with u that warbanner should not be possible on keeplords the way they are atm. so maybe allow the lord to be bannered once and then give it a icd so he cannot be warbannered for some time. i happens way too often that a war can just pop all his invul and not been stopped by anyone and then right after a second warrior comes in abanners it again and it keeps repeating until the blob arrives, so yeah id say give it a cooldown

The warbanner doesnt need to be “redesigned”.

Its the NPC downed state that should be added to the game. Yes you heard me. Why shouldnt champion NPCs behave the same way players do? When a keep lord goes down, he should go into downed state. Of course have alot more HP than the average player, everything scaled correctly to player count. Similar skills as players (knockback, heal, etc). NPCs can be ressed from downed state, just like players. They suffer the same penalties. And after 5 times in quick sequence (or whatever it is), they are completely killed and cannot be ressed by the warbanner anymore.

IE the warbanner doesnt need a redesign, its the NPCs that need redesigning. They already did this for the living story (toxic) so its technically possible.

Yup. An npc downed state should be fun. There are npcs with downed state in pve

champion should drop loot each time it is killed!

I agree there should be circles for MS
