Guild Wars 2

I noticed that using the standard on allies well within AOE are not raising them. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Just in case you didn’t know:
“The banner only revives when it is first summoned. Players can be revived from the Downed state only, while NPCs can be revived from the Defeated state.”

If you are trying to revive dead players it will not work. It can sometimes fail to revive, but I’ve only ever had that be an issue when trying to revive large groups of NPCs or players in WvW. You might want to submit a bug report if it becomes a reoccurring problem.

Did not know it revived only DOWNED players. I thought I remembered it can revive defeated players. Oh well. Thanks for the quick clarification.

If you encounter it not reviving from the downstate, the player was poisoned.

Yea, it only revives downed players. Would be pretty OP if it did it to defeated as well.

Heres some stuff about it as well to clear stuff for you and better understand what happens.

When the banner is summoned it HEALS five(5) downed players for a set amount.

If the player who gets affected by the banner is also poisoned he will receive less healing because of poisons ability to make heals less effective and therefor if the player is low on HP and has poison there is a chance that it won’t fully revive the player. He/she will get the heal anyhow and you will see the HP bar of the player increase with a good amount, but not enough to rally.

Poison and Agony will cause the banner to fail, even though it was neves specified that Agony reduces healing, it actually does

Just to clarified what some people said about the banner not working on player that have poison or agony. Its not totally true.

The Banner revive for exactly 100% of the hp of a downed person. So if that player have poison you will only revive him of 66% and if he have agony, you will only revive him of 50%. So you can still revive someone that have agony or poison, but you need to be really quick before his downed hp drop below these value.

Agony is specified to reduce healing though. It says in the tooltip.
