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.
  • War Banner: Aura now grants 25% more Attack damage (previously 5-6%), 50% increased Accuracy Rating (previously 30%), and also now grants 25% increased Attack Speed. Now has a duration of 6.6-9.8 seconds at Gem levels 4-20 (previously 6.15-6.9 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.
