Please revert the banner rez cool down. This has no known reason to be extended to 10min. Lots of healers dont rez.. We all could use this as a quality of life.

Banner cooldown was enlarged because of WE/WH pack hunting parties. And in its wake it has more impact on QoL dungeon runs now. At 2 min CD it was a good option to res healers on a boss wipe. Now it is a 1 time trick and that's it. Bad decision. A way more cautious approach to the problem would have been to just extend the CD to 5 min when RvR flagged.

All this has done to WE/WH groups has incentivized running with more WE/WHs so we have more access to banners. 5 minutes is still a compromise, 10 minutes feels like a punishment to all small mans, not just WE/WH groups.

Any idea on if they may take another look at this QOL nerf? I understand they like to do silent nerfs to WH/WE. In the end, this hurts more than just stealthing classes.

If that's the case, it feels like something should be done about WH/WE groups instead of banners.

10m cooldown is psychotic and feels super bad. You're right seems targeted at small scale groups. This has no effect on warbands it exclusively affects small scale

An other blow to small scale which made no sense. 5 min would be reasonable.
