Since one can heal a downed player in Fractals about as fast at the extended animation and cast time for this, I am not going to waste a slot on it any more.
I see now where I was mis-lead, it revives defeated friendly NPCs, which is very useful in personal stories, so I assumed it should work for players. Silly me.
So, one more mostly useless elite skill.

Yep, even the “stability” is gives isn’t great. 3 seconds and thats it~
other than rezzing(if it works) and small amount of stability it gives, its not any better than the Signet sadly
If reviving doesn’t work that means you have just prevented him from bleeding out.
True, if you have one downed player near you and can revive risk free then banner is useless. But when half of the team is down in AoE effects and you are nearly dead it is a real life-saver.
Also dropping it on fire-field gives nice DPS boost for the team.
