Why would that be a problem? All of the other professions have utility skills that heal with the exception of the Mesmer. Also the warrior is one of only 3 professions that doesn’t have a utility skill that revives.
The only explanation I can come up with is that they wanted to have battle standard revive fallen allies and decided it would be OP for a warrior to have both. Personally I’d rather have “I will avenge you” back and remove the effect from battle standard. Then I wouldn’t be obligated to have battle standard as my elite skill and wouldn’t be forced to wait for players to need revived before placing it when I do have it.

I kinda feel the same way. I almost always wait for my party mates to be downed in a dungeon before I even have to use my battle standard =(.
Quoted from the link: As a reminder, “I Will Avenge You” was supposed to revive nearby allies when you kill someone, which is a mechanic the game already uses, making this shout useless.
I can see why they did it, but I should point out that allies only get rallied from an enemy dying (not revived from defeated state) and only if they damaged the enemy in question. I have to admit it was probably a good decision, but perhaps make banners rally allies when summoned or make one of the signets revive an ally to compensate?
part of the description rallied nearby allies if you killed something while it was active. which made no sense as this action would rally nearby allies regardless of if you used IWAY or not, so basically for a longkitten cooldown it did very little.
“i will avenge you!” was very(!!) OP. if you killed someone with this buff all allies which were dead (not downed) rallied.
Imagine WvW, your zerg is dead and you manage to kill someone with “i will avenge you” and instant all your allies are alive…just OP.

SOUNDS PRETTY AWESOME TO ME, GUISE!
But on a serious note, I was sad to see it go, but On My Mark is a very useful shout to have replaced it, even if it doesn’t sound as kitten.

They would ofc have to limit the maximum number of targets it could affect (3 maybe?) and they would come back with only partial health.
Dat dere r/w iway stomp.
