Guild Wars 2

This would totally make me want to run a banner build time to time. (maybe buff the regen healing banners as well somehow, but that is just wishful thinking)

The banner would simply be held as a temporary back piece, giving everyone mobile AoE buffs while not rendering you useless. I bet this was suggested many times before, but it just seems so obvious.

Believe – Banners are useless!
1s + animation for utilities, and 2s + animation for elite. Every time that i try summon that thing, the enemy breack me before the banner comes.
- uselles summon that no hits the enemy, no deals dmg, no cc, no interrupts, no deal condition, no remove conditions, no rips boons, no heals, no grants combo field, no grants strong boons or status, no move itself, no have strong or relevant active skills, has a ridiculous radius(compare with steal or shadow trap/shadow pursuit), has too much slower animation on pick up and plant, you can’t to carry more than 1 at same time, etc…

Banner does not compare with any other summon in this game, even the rock dog is very better that banner, the most weak summon in other proffession is very better than these only cosmetic banner.

We could teleport and to banner location and gain quicknes when pickup, like thieves that gain 10, i said 10 stacks of might + fury when teleport to trap location 36s CD with only 10 trait points.

Banner will has ok when have less cd, better efficiency, better radius(10000), and a togle skill that allow the warrior to breack stun, teleport to banner location, grant quickness and pickup the banner. Like shadow trap and shadow pursuit.

How would the banner passive buff work if you could stow it away like a Kit? I think banners are not too bad right now, they give great passive bonuses to your entire party. The main problem stems with them being way too clunky to move around and use their bundle skills, which I think could be solve by being able to “summon” the banner into your hand if you’re within it’s radius and hit the banner utility skillslot again.

I think that “summon magically” the banner, like the warrior could be some magic tipe, are not the best choice.
hahaha.. “The Bannerpacker”, when activated make warrior snaps fingers and the banner jumps to warrior’s hads – 10s CD

I think teleport to banner location and puckup, like a fast/quickly movement, combine better with a no magical tipe.

Make the banner like some togle skills, that on use unlock a secondary skill that will be allowed whenever the banner exist, when the banner vanisher the skill is replaced for the banner icon and starts 25s CD.

These banners are very bad. :/

Banners are team-based skills. They have much greater effects when you are running around with multiple people. They aren’t worth taking when going on your own.

Anet – please rework banners. So many good Ideas in this thread, if you promote more variety, please give banners a retry!!!

Banners are already powerful, I don’t know where you get these ideas from that they are weak.

Then use banners for your own rick, and stay everytime depending of team members to not be killed or to carry your banners
