Guild Wars 2

Holy mother of misinformation…

• The Battle Standard (Warrior banner elite) does NOT revive when you use the #5 skill. That’s just a blast finisher…

• The Battle Standard will, however, instantly revive up to 3 DOWNED (not defeated) allies in its AoE when its first dropped by the warrior.

• However, the Standard CAN fully revive NPCs from death, such as keep lords (NPCs don’t have a downed state).

• The Battle Standard ALSO provides bonus while it’s out, like any other banner skill. In this case, Fury, Might and Swiftness.

• Battle Standard will ALSO trigger any other traits that any other banner does. For example, if you have Inspiring Battle Standards trait it’ll grant regen to players.

So the reason you see people use it without people getting downed is for the buffs. However in PvP/WvW this is often unwise as you lose the triple revival.

hey man know you wrote that 3 years ago but ty, just got into this game and this was real helpful

Hello,

Basically I just got this game today and I decided to join the aurora glade server since I heard many good reviews about it. It was hard deciding whether to roll on gandara or aurora glade but in the end I flipped a coin, and it chose aurora glade.

So I’ve been playing for a couple of hours now but this server feels sort of inactive to me for some weird reason :S
Like, in chat, I only see people asking if there are events every once in a while. There doesn’t seem to be an ongoing feed of people chatting like in other MMOs. I went to divinity’s reach and walked around for a bit, didn’t see a single other player, only NPCs.

Maybe I’m just not doing something right and I could be very wrong (Which I hope I am, as I love big, active servers!)

Erm, one last thing, if anyone has a guild on aurora glade and is ok with recruiting a noob like me, I’d be happy to join. It’s always more fun having company
