Guild Wars 2

Ok if I am traited for http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Inspiring_Battle_Standard and I drop 3 banners how exactly does it work?

Here is the formula for regen http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Regeneration
At level 80 this is:
130 + (0.125 * Healing Power) per second

Let’s assume I have around 450 healing power. Assume also I am not using http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Banner_of_Tactics (which gives 170 healing).

1. Does this mean each banner gives 186.25 regen for both myself and all my allies? So over 550 hp/sec?

2. Or does the individual’s healing power instead come into place ie. I’d get 186.25 regen whereas others would get more/less according to their healing power?

3. Or do the banner regen heal amounts not stack; just duration?

Basically I’m trying to see how viable me running all 3 banners while utilizing http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Omnomberry_Compote and http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sigil_of_Superior_Restoration is in keeping me alive in wvw and fotm (I don’t do spvp and pve is obviously not an issue if you have half a brain).

The regen from banner is a boon, you can only have 1 regen boon. They dont stack so you will only have 170 healing, if thats how much your regen heal.

The regen amount of healing your banner boon gives to yourself is the same on allies effected by your regen.

And it doesnt matter if you have 1 or 4 banners, the regen duration is the same. Not 100% sure on this one, because it doesnt really matter hehe.

And tbh, unless you are wearing berserk gear, doesnt matter what food you have, you still wont die unless they focus you. The heal on kill is just a bonus.

Banner regens are overrated because it just provides a regen boon that doesn’t stack with other regen boons.

Thank you for the replies people.

It ticks for around 300 something per second for a total of 1k+ every 3 seconds. This is with full exotic gear and Saffron ice cream as well as 300 into healing in your trait line.

Shouts are around 3k per shouts in the same gear/food.

Its tempting to go all banners but it might be more practical to slot one banner which will be up all the time with the two other utility skills helping you cc or dps. The elite should be the banner rez one dropping it when you want to revive. One of the few Revive skills in the game.

tip: if you got some serious +boon duration that banner regen will stack up to infinity. or used to before patch, i wouldnt know if they changed it.
