Misplaced Dragon Banner nerfs

[SWI.4127]

I'm really having a hard time understanding this. Anet changed their design philosophy so that CC skills do little to no damage. Warrior burst skills that CC and Holosmith Elite skill didn't even retain their damage, so why do these Dragon Banner skills that knockback 10 targets and stun 10 targets still do thousands of damage? Is it because it's considered siege or something? I thought it would be a pretty straightforward nerf to the 2 and the 3 skill since they were some of the few skills in the game which CC and damage at the same time, but instead they nerf the auto attack and slightly nerf the 2 skill. Am I missing something here? Also the 5 skill being completely untouched is baffling to me.

Dragonbanner is more or less completely unchanged. All skills taken into consideration, I'd say its barely a 15% damage nerf on something that was easily doing 17k+ dps.
