Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this is a new thing or not, but what if the regen from Inspiring Battle Standard was treated like the elementalist’s Soothing Mist. As in, it’s a separate regen buff, allowing the warrior and those around him to benefit from the banner regen as well as the regen boon. I honestly don’t think that this should be a problem, even if there are other passive regen abilities that aren’t considered as the regen boon. For example, the regen for kits on engi, and as mentioned before, soothing mists for the ele.

Anyways, let me know what you guys think, I think that this will bring banners one step closer to being almost viable.

It’s only really wasted when we have focused healers on our team and all of our regen gets masked. I tried running without it and it actually helps a lot if you don’t have a (good) Ele or Guardian. Even so stacking 30s of regen in running segments before battle is quite beneficial. So sure I’m all for stacking various sources of regen, I find it absurd that it doesn’t stack with other people’s healing.

As far as PvP goes, such minor healing will never ever be worth the DPS loss.
