Guild Wars 2

Banners of Strength, Discipline, Tactics, tried all of them and none are doing anything since this new maintenance. Before the new maintenance, only tactics was working properly, the others seemed to disappear with 26s left on the cooldown (Strength) or not working at all (Discipline).

Have not tried Toughness or the Elite Banner, but I hazard a guess that it is broken as well as the others.

I have them also traited for larger radius and 20% faster recharge. Before maintenance, only Discipline came off recharge at 2.0 seconds or so, later during playtime this changed to 6-8 seconds for some reason. I wonder if the DR code is affecting banners, that would be funny.

They are also traited to heal allies, and currently this is the only boon they apply, whether planted or the ground or held, the only boon they give is the regeneration bonus from 3rd tier warrior Tactics (trait line).

Also traited for Empowered (gives more power for every boon on you), I am not sure if this might be cancelling out the boons but they are gone. And I notice their effects are gone too, for example Tactics gives +10% boon duration, that is definitely not being applied at all. So it is not merely a matter of the icons not showing up.

I asked other warriors on the map if they are having this problem, apparently it is just my banners that are not working… I’m not sure why this is.

Everyone says their banners are working fine.

Changed Empowered and using ‘Shrug it Off’ now in the 2nd tier Tactics slot but still having the same problem of the boons not showing up except ‘Regeneration’ at the top.

It still shows the icon banner at the bottom row, where the signets for example usually go, and it will have the banner icon there too, with for example ‘Increases Malice’ etc, but it doesn’t actually do anything else.

I specifically used the +10% boon duration one to test, and hit my Signet of Rage, and from 39 seconds (base duration), the duration changed to 42 seconds. So it might be an icon related issue…

Did a test using Banner of Strength. Not seeing the boons added, they gave icons before but watching the character sheet, I saw the addition to power being added. Although from the time the banner was summoned, it took 4 seconds (by my count) for it to tick up. Still no boon icons, however.
