My PvP centric warrior patch notes

[Lonecap.4105]

Here’s some of what I’d personally like to see in a balance patch, I focused exclusively on skills and as the title says this is from a PvP point of view. 
 

Banner of Strength: increase might per pulse stacks to 3, increase daze duration to 2 and a half secs, and apply 15 vulnerability and cripple onto enemies (8 seconds). Cool-down increased to 40 sec.

 

Banner of Discipline: rework initial applied conditions to bleeding 8 stacks (8 secs), torment 4 stacks (8 secs), slow (3 secs), blind (5 seconds) and immobilise (2 secs). Cool-down increased to 40 secs.

 

Banner of Tactics: Now also applies vigor for 8 secs, stability duration  increased to 8 secs, cool-down increased to 40 secs.

 

Berserker Stance: in addition to current effects, remove a condition per pulse, cool-down reduced to 20 secs.

 

Balanced Stance: reduced cool-down to 45 secs.

Sight Beyond Sight: rework to grant critical hits to all attacks for 4 seconds and remove blind every second for 4 seconds. You are now able to see through stealth for 4 seconds. Cool-down increased to 25 seconds.

Just to be clear, if you do not specify a game mode are you intending that for all game modes, or just PvP?

I suppose it’s mostly a case of that I wasn’t really considering PvE a whole lot, since to me imbalances aren’t that important in PvE- although I rolled with the assumption that if I was making the changes tentatively numbered enough for PvP, then PvE was likely fine to follow suit.

I did try to consider WvW with the banners and bubble/BE changes, but I didn’t see any big reason to hold off. Banner of Defense is 40 seconds currently in PvP- the only banner to have 40secs CD, which feels off to me - it just felt like it’d make more sense to boost the other banners to parity and have them at 40 too.

as far as boons go i want to see more protection and resolution added to our kit.

for khan ur's sake, every other profession is pooping protection out of their kitten hole like nothing.
