Guild Wars 2

when picked up a banner should be an off hand weapon with two abilities, whatever that banners special ability is and plant(or throw with an upgrade) standard.

this will give more of a heroic herald/ standard bearer feel imo.

Mmmm, I wouldn’t be able to use the speed boost. And the rush is also nice for keeping/closing some distance.

The only thing I might suggest for banners is maybe a combination of the ‘boon’ skills (Inspire + Furious Rally/Compassionate Banner/Whirlwind Banner depending what banner you’re holding) and the ‘attack’ skills (the 1 skill chains from Stab to Staggering Banner/Brutal Banner depending what banner you’re holding) and then add a #2 skill that lets you throw the banner at a target to immobilize them. Call it Impaling Banner.

It would be awesome, sword+banner looks just perfect aesthetically

Dayumm… that actually would be really cool.

Personally I like banners the way they are, if i where to make a change it would be to apply a boon to everyone in the affected area when its planted depending on wich banner it is.

I just hate how one hand is empty..

you’d certainly see more people using banners, even in spvp :-3
i’d love this change!
