So here yesterday we had an amazing battle with Piken Square and Abbadons Mouth in Piken Garrison. The battle went on for 21 min (yes we times it) and I think most WvW oriented guild have had a similar experience sometime.
The thing that made the battle so long was well play by Piken and Abbadon, but unfortunately also a mechanic which I would like to be adressed = bannering of dead lords. Everyone I talk to, is against the priciple that you can banner res a dead lord and I can’t imagine that is was Anet’s intention to make this skill res dead NPC’s?
So this thread suggesting a dicussion of how we can adress the bannering of dead NPC’s.
Here are some of my suggestions:
- Remove the fact that lord can be ressed by warrior banner when he is dead
- Give the lords in Towers, Keeps etc. a downed state in which he can be bannered. We see down state more and more in PvE, so it should be easy to integrate.
- Give the lord a debuff so he can’t be bannered for 5 min after a banner res
What do you guys think of this?
Lastly I would like to say, that I don’t in any way blame Piken’s warriors for using this mechanic, we would have done the same!
