Guild Wars 2

Dear Anet,

Please help to Bring Back the CoolDown Reduction on Banners.
If you think Master Tier’s Inspiring Battle Standard is not good enough to carry Banners CDR.
Then can you please add Banners CDR to Grandmaster Tier’s Phalanx Strength?
Because Phalanx Strength does not benefit the user at all but great for teamates in the party, adding Banners CDR on it will encourage Warriors to use Phalanx Strength.
It’ll also encourage the Phalanx Strength users to use Banner Skill that will also benefit the teamates, which synergize very well with each other.

I started this game as Warrior and loved it until one of the update that removed Banners CDR from trait, then I changed to play Thief instead becasue of no more Banners CDR.
I’d love to go back to play Warrior again any day when the Banners CDR is Back.

Please take my suggestion for your consideration and let us know the good news or bad news in appropriate time.

*Regarding the 100% up time issue on the livestream, the Trait can only grant up to 95% up time and the Banner will still NEED to be Carried along with the team to reach the potential 95% up time.

Thanks all.

I have done this achievement months ago, but today someone in my guild having trouble keeping track of which wurm she has decapitated. So my suggestion is can Anet add a list of wurm that need to be decap and which one has been done in the achievement panel.
It will be very useful for everyone who haven’t done this achievement.

Please Bring Inspiring Banners Back or just Add Banners Cool Down Reduction in Inspiring Battle Standard, the radius is not a must.
Not many warrior uses Banners nowadays due to the CDR Trait has been removed and the thing that Warriors can Benefit the Team the most is Banner, so please bring back the Banners CDR trait. thanks

It would be nice if Signet Mastery in Arms get change with Quick Breathing in Tactics.

Banner uptime was great for my build. Either for regen, or party synergy.

Now there is a 30s downtime. That is too long for something you need to be CLOSE TO, that you need to PICK UP AND CARRY AROUND (god forbid you went across the map without it after you just summoned one), and really need to just baby sit.

With this new patch it encourages warriors to bring nothing to buff their parties besides personal dps. All 5 signet GS only warriors with berserker’s power and heightened focus.

Just what we needed.

I’m with you here, I like being team support warrior.
I always use Banner of Strength (or Disc) and Battle Standard in dungeon and etc when there was Reduce Cool Down on Banners.
But after they removed Inspiring Banner, I don’t feel like using Battle Standard anymore… and the 30 sec CD on Banner of Strength is really long and starting to discourage me to continue using any banner at all.
They could at least add Banners Cool Down Reduction in the Inspiring Battle Standard trait.

My irl friends who introduce me into this game have quit the game cuz the price of expansion.
But I’m still considering to stay here alone and get expansion or not.
And after the HUGE Banners NURF Patch, this is really pushing me off this game.
