Why do Banners not have F1 Skills?
The idea of fixing them to your back and toting them around like a Space Marine has been thrown around quite a lot too. In this situation a unique banner skill would replace our regular F1 weapon skill.
I’m all for a Banner revamp, from being equipable to your back piece to having passive skills that occupy their utility slot after they’ve been dropped, and of course giving them an F1 ability when wielded. The possibilities are endless where we’ve got 4 unique bundles with 4 unused buttons (F1-F4)

I just hate how I have entire bar kitten full of adrenaline and absolutely nothing to use it on.
I have always wanted something more from the banners as well, the thought of having an F1 skills to place the banner on your back (hands free) for a certain amount of time dependent on how much adrenaline you had say, 3 seconds for 1 block, 5 seconds for 2 and 8 seconds for full adrenaline bar. this would mean that the skills to build up adrenaline quickly could be used in conjunction to keep your banner on your back permanently along with the trait to reduce burst skills to 8 seconds, you would have to spec into it a lot and if you did it would have along up time and if not you would still have quiet a few seconds hands free with your weapon set.
I’d like to see Banners have an Adrenaline skill as well, they don’t really need to go on your back at least from a PvE perspective. I could see them giving boons
Banner of Strength: Gives ? Might for 10 seconds
Banner of Discipline: Gives Fury for 6 seconds
Banner of Defense: Gives 4 seconds of Protection
Banner of Tactics: Gives 10 seconds of Regeneration
Battle Standard: Gives Retaliation for 5 seconds and Vigor for 8 seconds
Adrenaline skill: throw your banner, spearing your enemy and pinning it to the ground for 5 seconds. >:P
Warrior F1 skills need some work. Every class has multiple F abilities, why are we stuck with one? Every weapon set should have an offensive and defensive/utility ability to let us spend adrenaline on. It would give more depth to the Warrior!
Banners don’t have F1 skills because the op in this thread hasn’t been made a dev yet.

Space marine? What are you talking about? I’d rather have the banner buffs with me when I walk around than lose them when I move out of range.
No body cares if it doesn’t fit with your ‘look’.
