Item	Description

Version history

Version	Changes
0.3.0	Banners no longer gain Valour (or have any other Valour related stats), but instead generate Glory when you attack enemies. They all require 200 Glory to place. Unlike other Glory-based skills, Banners can gain Glory while the Banner is placed. All sources of Banner Valour Gained have been replaced with Banner Glory Generated. Banners now have a global limit of 1 allowed to be placed, but there are ways on the Passive Tree or the Tactician Ascendancy to increase this. Dread Banner: Aura now grants 0.5 Flask charges per second (previously 0.17), 60% more Elemental Ailment Threshold (previously 12-15%), and also now grants +4% to all Maximum Elemental Resistance. It no longer provides 12-15% more Stun Threshold. Now has a duration of 8.6-9.8 seconds at Gem levels 14-20 (previously 6.65-6.9 seconds), and Banner is no longer removed when you leave the Aura. Quality now provides 0-10% increased Reservation Efficiency (previously +0-2% more Aura Magnitudes per Valour).
0.2.0c	Fixed a bug where Banners were not providing their benefits to players when placed.
0.2.0	Banner Skills now have an Aura Radius of 4.5 metres (previously 4), and are now correctly considered Aura skills.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
