You know … I tested out that banner thing yesterday during a guild challenge. I should not do about 1.5 times more damage auto-attacking with a banner than with my GS. >.<

I know. It seems slightly insulting. This is not a request to nerf banner ANet, how about a little Ranger love here.
Cheetos Puffs or Flamin’ Hot I assume.
I would actually like to try a mechanic like this out in an MMO one day TBH.
I am also scared to see that in person. The banner outDPS’ing the GS.
An Insane(ly Intelligent) Genius!

Don’t do it unless you want to cry.

hey! fabric hurts and the metal stands they are on are rather pointy… how a blade can be less effective? i’m not to sure but maybe if we wrapped them in cloth…
And to think I used to get annoyed accidentally picking those banners up while looting. Sorry warriors, I didn’t realize. We’re not worthy!
I dont know where we are at with GS. But I like it. It also has a faster attack rate than the banner even though the damage is less.
Kiwi~ Don’t get me wrong, I love my great sword. I just dislike the fact that we do more overall damage per second with a banner, and have some neat things like a blast finisher, party swiftness, charge, and potentially a party buff/heal while using it. These are all things the Ranger can’t typically do solo, and get it all with a bloody banner.
Want to blast your water field… too bad unless you have a warrior banner. Good luck counting on that drake. Get another free heal off banner of tactics, EFF yes! It give us support and DPS in one weapon, things we lack on all of our weapons. /Sigh
After reading about this, yesterday I tried picking a banner and… wow, a great weapon indeed! Decent sustained damage, blast finisher, support, swiftness, gap closer… I want to be a warrior’s squire! A few enemies ended with a heavy headache…
Next time I join a Zerg, i’ll surely pick a banner to whack some heads and blast-finish the fields.
In the next patch:
Warrior banners used by Rangers was fixed so they will only deal 1/3 damage compared to other classes. Utilities except for swiftness will be blanked out while swiftness duration from the banner will be reduced by half.
HoT = WvW players forced to PVE
Kolisch~
Seriously right. That will be the fix! Lol. I have more faith in Arena net than that though. Here is to hoping they prove me right.
insert all comments about my faith being misplaced l/kittened into your trash bin please. I know that by having faith in Arena Net they’ll eventually come through. Maybe not in our time, but eventually.-
Just have an ele drop you a lightning hammer, then see where the damage is at
