finally something semi intelligible coming from your keyboard,
do remember this is a suggestion and is open for discussion.
the "banner" is placed with a 2 min timer. using flame rams as an EXAMPLE of how you cannnot proximity place objects in the same space.
3 boons ripped from players in the area. per (time was suggested as part of the suggestion and subject to change, of course) is nothing for a boon spamming blob of 30+ people. theyd barely notice it.
counter play? point is to remove boons as its a HUGE problem, leave the area as its only a 1200 radius. The point being is to help defenders. (yes this can be used in fights too but both sides will obviously drop banners in fights thus making it even)
this isnt a skill, its a "trap SUGGESTION" its not supposed to be comparable to player base skills
