That sucks you can't use abilities while holding it, or else Winter/Albis/Meanrock would be great, since they're all going tanks last I checked :o

well actually since you can't use abilities Tanks would be the BEST for holding the banner

maybe we'll have to do some trade-off shit becuase thats kind of stupid to not be able to attack imo

I disagree, I think it gives skilled and coordinated guilds an advantage. The flag isn't just a free perk now. It's your banner, it's like the COCK of your guild, it's something to be used by people who know how to use, and something to be destroyed by your enemy. I think WAR has the right idea....again....as usual.

Meaning, even though they are tanks, they will still probably out dps some scrub dps'ers. Meaning we need them pwn tanking more than standing with the flag.

Well, if you guys have the right idea that the flag bearer will become the focal point of attack first thing, then we should give it to someone that has a good survivalist class or to some random dude thats goddamn good at running away at those critcal moments, and collision detection will help with that.

If your going for someone thats wicked sick at running around, staying out of sight, abusing certain game mechanics like collision detection, getting away at those critical/lucky moments, etc etc...I volunteer.

My two cents.

key word, SHOULDN'T. Regardless, they will be peaced anyways.

For flag carriers, a mass Wounds and Initiative stacking Witch hunter could be good since they have the 40 yard (?) jumps, even though its CD. As long as it doesn't turn into a sprint prep sprint type of thing. Of course, most efficient will most likely be a sword and board tank with a few healers.

Some of you seem to be missing the whole point of this banner thing...

It provides an AoE buff so the carrier will be in the thick of it, not running away from the group like a coward. Also, the carrier seems to have a cone push back involved to keep anyways away and possibly...to clear the way for an advancing army.

The banner carrier shouldn't be some pathetic weak guy who can hide in a dark area and cry while the army marches forward without him. The standard should be in the group, shielded by allies and clearing the way when needed. Of course it should be a tank, a heavily armored guy with the banner. UC's going to have a ton of chosen, black orcs, and black guards, why shouldn't we have one spare guy holding the banner?

Thanks for the clarification :)

Thats alot better than if they still can use "banner protecting" knockdown abilities. Thats almost more fun than using your own abilities :D

The banner idea is interesting, although I'd like to know the mechanics of stealing it.

It will probably be the most skilled Tank that is speced for Tanking/defense that has teh most skill and best gear. The only person I have head talk about going this way so far is Sephs. Not a bad person to have holding out banner IMO.

The banner will need to read "COCK"
