Guild Wars 2

While running around with my friend and perma-swiftness from banners gathering Orichalcum nodes, I was thinking it would be nice if banners had an Adrenal skill. It would make them a bit more interesting I think. My ideas for each are:

Banner of Defense: Gives 1-3-5 seconds of Protection to you and nearby allies

Banner of Strength: Grants 1-3-5 stacks of might (10 seconds) to you and nearby allies

Banner Of Discipline: Gives Fury for 3-5-7 seconds to you and nearby allies

Banner of Tactics: Heal yourself and Nearby allies for 700-1000-1200 (can scale with healing power possibly)

Battle Standard: You and nearby allies Gain Stability for 2-4-6 seconds

Thoughts?

This has been brought up before. I did my own Suggestion forum thread a couple of months back on the subject and I’ve seen other threads as well.

From the player feedback that was seen, people believe that the issue with adding a Warrior F1 skill to Banners comes from it being an Environmental Weapon. Anyone could wield the Banner, while Engineers can get away with their own unique F1 mechanics due to how their own class Kit environmental weapons work. However now that I know that Engineers can give their Kit weapons to other people when Downed (due to a specific Trait), I know that this common belief must be incorrect.

I’d love to see an Adrenaline skill on the Banners. If ArenaNet could work something out for Engineers, then I don’t see why they can’t do something similar for Warriors.

The stability one is too strong. The protection idea might be okay but considering banners are continuous boons in a sense.. That might have to change to 10 seconds (base) of protection on cast.

Maybe the stability is a bit strong, but it’s an elite skill. They’re supposed to be really elite, which most aren’t

The stability is not very strong.

Battle Standard Adrenaline have a same exact copy in skill 2, but I don’t hear anyone wanting to nerf skill 2.

Stability might not be the best thing for it but it’s all I could come up with.

Mayhaps Retaliation? 3-4-5 seconds, maybe more

Edit: @Wiser with Age: Warrior’s would be the only ones able to use these Adrenaline skills. It would give the Warrior who planted said Banner more reason to pick it up for a bit
