Strider Pj.2193 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 So... one banner... pretty much per team that evidently, you stood in? Trying to out heal it and not taking damage from others.....Very realistic post. Or you were so focused on a lord that you failed to see the person smelting you..

Or you were so focused on a lord that you failed to see the person smelting you..Lot of servers run 3+ dragon banners constantly on map. All banners need both duration reduction (from 15 min -> 10 min) and Dragon's breath varrants a damage nerf (it already applies quickness to 20 allies so it doesn't need to deal that much damage itself). The recent nerfs to it were not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And "just move out of it" isn't counter-argument for nerfing it either. I don't understand why so many people dislike playing the build they made and think their life as Dragon banner main regardless of situation is justified.

Wyrdern.4092 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I'm fairly sure you can get even higher damage if you go full yolo dps with and have 25 might (although you will probably need a pocket healer to not instadie to retal).Idk if the damage for banner skills is calculated the same as weapon skills but the damage modifier for the pulse damage is 2.0 (for some comparisons, backstab is 1.8, churning earth is 2.25 and CoR is 1.5 in wvw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiends.5412 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Banner #3 and #5 should have been nerfed ages ago. Not sure why Anet is hesitating, those abilities are abused like crazy in WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything after that was after the OP was in downstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinkTinkPOOF.9201 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 They nerfed DB last patch, but didn't nerf the main offender, that being #5. The other problem is it scales off of player modifiers. Example being on my DH, running inspiring virtue, which is only a 10% buff, other classes have higher or many other stacking options, why is this a thing? This is like back when siege did condi dmg based on personal stats, getting 10k burning ticks almost instantly was so broken.This is what #5 can do, wiping two different groups: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that I see more DB's in use by full squads than those running 20+ debunks the notion that they serve as some equalizer for outnumbered players.The most stacked server will always hold more structures that will be upgraded and as such have more access to DB. This matchup, we are winning very easy, and because of that, when I run with a group, I always spot at least 2-3 DBs on our side, the other side? None, because we have papered everything on the other servers side.When you are outnumbered anyway and have maybe 1 DB, but the other side has more people and 2-3 DB, why people think that is an advantage to the smaller server, I have no idea. They are probably DB mains is what I am thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
