3.25.0
  • War Banner: Is no longer a Reservation skill, and has none of its previous stats. You must gain Valour from melee combat to use this skill, which will consume all Valour to place a Banner with an aura. The aura will be larger and more powerful the more Valour was consumed. The banner lasts for a duration, but will end early if you leave the aura, or use the skill again while it's active. While you have no placed banner, you can gain Valour. Now has a base duration of 10 seconds, and a base radius of 2.4 metres. Provides 5% more Area of Effect and 5% more Aura Effect per Valour Consumed at gem level 1, both scaling up to 10% at gem level 20. Banner grants 8% increased Accuracy Rating to You and Allies, and 4% more Physical Damage with Melee Skills to You and Allies at all gem levels. Now has a Mana cost of 13 at gem level 1, scaling up to 19 at gem level 20.
  • The Perfidy Unique Body Armour no longer has "You can have two different Banners at the same time", "Banners you are carrying gain 1 Stage on Melee Hit, up to 5 per second", "Defiance Banner has 100-200% increased Taunt duration", "Dread Banner grants an additional +2-4 to maximum Fortification when placing the Banner" or "War Banner has 100-200% increased Adrenaline duration". It now has "Having a placed Banner does not prevent you gaining Valour". This change affects existing versions of this item.
    • 3.21.0
    • War Banner has 100% increased Mana Reservation Efficiency
    3.8.0
  • All Aura skills you cast (Wrath, Hatred, etc) now have a base radius of 40 (from 36) to compensate for changes to Aura Radius on the Passive Skill Tree. Likewise, the radius of Flesh and Stone now has a base radius of 28 (from 24), War Banner and Dread Banner now have a radius of 46 (from 40), and all Aura gem qualities that increased the Aura's radius now increase it by twice the amount (from 2% to 4% per 1% quality).
    • 3.7.0
    War Banner
  • Fixed a bug where the Adrenaline buff from War Banner would end early if you were playing a Juggernaut and your Endurance Charges expired.
    • 3.5.0
  • Added a new Strength Skill Gem - War Banner: Cast to reserve mana and carry a banner which increases the accuracy of nearby allies, and the physical damage taken by nearby enemies. Gain stages by killing enemies while carrying the banner. Casting the skill again places the banner, ending the mana reservation. Once placed, it becomes more powerful for each stage gained while carried.
