Guild Wars 2

i am not sure about other classes but skills to help your party warriors banner helps team 100% of the time so does the guardians boons but are spirits are only a 35% chance to help your party unless we trait for it.i find it odd that Anet makes us trait to make are spirits work 100% of the time when warriors and guards don’t need to trait for group support they just push a button

I guess where it balances out in their mind is the fact that spirit offers active effects like Call lightning. Man that hits like a truck last year. But yea, someone already did the math and the banners give more support than spirits.

An infinitely shorter cool down may be a contributing factor as well. Spirits’ effective radius is also larger by 400. However, banners last longer, cant be killed and offer 5 active skills on top of their passive buff.
