Guild Wars 2

EDIT: Noticed there’s another banner topic posted before mine. That has somewhat similar idea to mine, though it’s more in-depth. Feel free to post on this as you see fit.

So I just made a thread and posted it, but got an internal error and lost all the content (not that there was much)

Anyways… it’s probably been said a dozen times as it’s such an obvious/simple idea that I feel would make banners much more viable.

I absolutely loath having permanent regen on my banner warrior. Though having to haul the banner with me every time I want to move is extremely tedious.
I would really like to see the banners being added to the players backs when they are activated.

As for the abilities tied to the banner, I would suggest having the banner pulse every so often to give their extra boons such as fury and swiftness. They would be short durations or else banners would be on the verge of overpowered mind you.

I don’t think many people currently use banners as weapons anyway, so the damaging abilities wouldn’t be greatly missed.

This change would also stop players from picking up your banner and moving it to a location that no longer benefits your group/solo play.

I believe this change would greatly improve banners and make them far much viable for solo/team play.

Any thoughts?
