[Balance suggestion] Change my mind: Battle Standard should be a shout

[trane.4569]

The other banners are pretty much useless, and the banner trait does not do them any meaningful favors. Therefore it would gain some relevance if turned into a shout.

Here is a preview of what I'd do:

 

| | Before | After | |

|---|:---:|:---:|---|

| Name | Battle Standard | "Rally to me!" | |

| Damage | 399 | 0 | |

| Revive Targets | 5 | 5 | |

| Fury | 3 sec | 18 sec | (buffed because of Duration nerf) |

| Might | (1 stack) 10 sec | (3 stacks) 18 sec | (buffed because of Duration nerf) |

| Swiftness | 3 sec | 18 sec | (buffed because of Duration nerf) |

| Recharge on pick up | 60 sec | 0 sec | |

| Number of Allied Targets | 5 | 5 | |

| Duration | 60 sec | 0 sec | |

| Effective Radius | 600 | 400 | |

| Finisher Radius | 180 | 0 | |

| Revival Radius | 360 | 400 | |

| Combo Finisher | Blast | None | |

| Cast Range | 600 | 0 | |

| Cast time | 2 sec | 2 sec | |

| Recharge time | 180 | 120 | (reduced because there's no recharge on pick up now) |

 

maybe something could be done about removing the blast finisher, add a breaks stun or something

Break stuns for allies, add quickness as one of the boons given. Or retaliation or protection, either of those two would work as well.

 

I say that because what you have there is really no different than pack rune's 6th bonus plus a pbaoe Rez instead of a ranged rez.

 

So either more boons, or make it an instant finisher (because fck downstate).

Radius are multiple of 60, so 400 is not a valid value. 360 it is !

420. Round up for better skills.

 

Edit: actually, give it the same radius of the other shouts then, whatever they are. No finisher, but it would still need more boons or some barrier.
