Guild Wars 2

yes its this topic again, but this is relevant due to the recent 5 target buff/heal limit. some people may say oh its fine it was needed to prevent the massive abuse in wvw and i understand that but cant they give it a higher limit or give it priority?
so why am i bringing it up now? almost 2 weeks after that…… that… patch…. cuz i just went back to my warrior after playing other classes and when i did for great justice in open world during a champ….. i did not get the buff or the heal!!!! wtf?? i mean i heard there was the distance thing but….is this real? i’m the nearest character to me at anytime and i did not get my own buff/heal, lol something is wrong somewhere…. and it didnt just happen once lol, over the course of playing i noticed myself not getting the fury a few times so…
also i noticed that regen banners have targetting!! they cast regen on ppl that are not full health which is freaking awesome…
now to intro my build, i am running a spinoff of the sonic boon build with gs and sword/warhorn, my traits are 0/25/15/30/0 and my armor/acc are a mix of clerics and knights. runes are 2water/2monk/2sanctuary since my warhorn does the cleansing of conditions.
so my question is simple, has the time come for me to take banners to replace shouts as the source of healing ? i mean i will keep FGJ and SIO but i would bring a banner along instead of OMM so not much change to the boon and cond removal + my major trait is already the warhorn one so no change to cooldowns of shouts.

On the side note, i think something has gone wrong in the reprogramming of warhorn, it does not seem to be affected by the buff limit, i mean i blow it during DEs and i see everyone get the swirly thing under their feet but…. the no.4 skill no longer removes cripple/immo/chill… it converts the bloody things….. i mean i think before the patch it would first remove these 3 then convert whatever conditions into a boon but it dosent do that anymore! i have tested this many times by getting crippled + bleed/poison from either bandits or…. hyleks? the frog things and when i use skill 4 the cripple disappears but the other one stays and i notice i got a super long swiftness buff so…. yeah if someone could confirm this too it would be awesome

Shouts are better than banners for heals imho

i have read that, that was why i went for shout in the first place, but that does not take to account the recent changes…..

i use banners for their aoe which in my spec heal for 300 every half sec and the banner heal skill heals for 1k, which can be used every 20 sec i think (havent been on in a few days)

I prefer banners for large number WvW and shouts for dungeons and small group pvp skirmishes.

Banner. No question.
