Guild Wars 2

I found banners to be more effective at healing unless you got some healing power. It also took up only a single utility slot to get the regen buff, leaving two more slots open for other powers. Healing shouts needs all three slots to be most effective.

I’m running this build right now. At 78 with the new apothecary gear its really tough. I did start using rampager jewelry for a little extra damage. It’s a Yo-Jack build that traded in the warhorn for a second sword.

No idea about PvP, but in PvE its been really fun. The difference in damage is not nearly as much as the durability gain. A friend said that he felt like I did more damage while fighting a few champs too. I didn’t have to evade nearly as much.
