Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this is intended behavior but I’ve noticed that when you pick up a banner it counts as a weapon swap.

Why is this dangerous? Because it activates ALL weapon swap internal cooldowns (sigils, traits, etc…).

Again, I’m not sure if this is intended behavior but it should be looked at if it’s not.

Thanks,

I have noticed this as well and this is very annoyning.
I hope they remove the cooldown from banners.

Hello everyone,

I am pretty sure it works the way it is supposed to be. Here is a little explanation:

Banners (warrior) and conjured weapons (elementalist) work the same way. They are both environmental weapons (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Environmental_weapon). Since conjured weapons trigger sigils, etc. banners will trigger them too.

Besides that it also makes sense. You are switching from your regular weapon (e.g. a hammer) to a banner, frost bow or any other environmental weapon.

I hope this makes sense and helps.

Have a nice day.
