Battlestandards

I think I misunderstood this item. I thought it was a one time use thing- like a consumable. But I guess it is on a cooldown? Is it a trinket? How does it work? What is the cooldown on it? I see you can get one at lvl 19, which would make it a pretty sweet twink item.

Been such a long time since Ive used it but its on a cooldown and I think its like 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Its like a huge totem that costs way too much honor now for what its worth.

Still worth it for a twink though, as its not like your in any rush to get the HWL weapons

Awesome twink trinket. Between the standard and the Arena master trinket............I essentially have 3600+ hps

I assume they stack? How long do they last? Do you have to stay close to it, or can you drop it and run?

Can you picture running into grab the flag to face two twinks on D with 10 battlestandards?

AFAIK you can only have one per char. I doubt the effects stack if more than one person drops one in the same area, but I havent used them in a long time (pre patch), but I sincerely doubt it. Would be total overpower if u could.

I would think you can have more than one per char if you are dumb enough to spend that much honor on it, but it will have a global cooldown, so you could only use one at a time anyway. They may have made them idiot proof and only allow you to buy one, but I wouldn't bet on it.

As I recall, you drop them (no trinket, just item in backpack) and they give aura within certain feet radius. Dropping more of the same will only make the circle of effect larger, unless they are dropped right on top of each others.
So no use in dropping more of the same :)

Cooldown is 10-15, I believe, yes.
Stupid something like cooldown and charges doesn't say so, before you buy an item!!

ok- so a team of twinks could drop them in a line from one tunnel to the next- that would suck to see from the other side- 10 little totems in a line.

Yea, the best thing about these things is that they don't take up a trinket spot or anything. Just have it in your backpack, and drop when ready. I usually drop mine vs. Van in AV. It has a 40 foot range I believe...so everyone within that circumference gets bonus damage...which adds up when you have a lot of people.
