Duelist - Champion - Choosing the Optimal Banner
|
EDIT: IGNORE EVERYTHING I SAID ABOUT DREAD BANNER. IT IS WRONG. The duration of increased Fortify only relates to the fortify granted by the skill.
First as a reminder Dread Banner - Aura Gem

Spoiler
You have Fortify Inspirational - Champion Notable Skill
Spoiler
Banner Skills Reserve no Mana 15% increased effect of Non-Curse Auras from your Skills When you create a Banner, it gains 40% of the Stages of your placed Banner You and Allies affected by your placed Banners Regenerate 0.1% of maximum Life per second for each Stage You and nearby Allies have 12% increased Movement Speed There are two mechanic interactions (if true), one for each banner, I would use with a Champion even if they did not have any other abilities. 1st Interaction - First to Strike, Last to Fall (FtSLtF) with War Banner It is first important to note that War Banner after just one charge (one kill) grants .02s of Adrenaline once placed. The second important thing to note is that FtSLtf has two abilities (remove all ailments, 25% max life gained) that trigger when the player gains Adrenaline. Putting these two facts together we have a repeatable effect that removes all ailments and grants 25% max life instantly that recharges whenever you kill one enemy. The requirement is that have have 10% mana to reserve or have the Inspirational Notable to ignore the requirement. 2nd Interaction. Fortitude with Dread Banner. The interaction about to be mentioned would also work with all effects that grant Fortify not just Fortitude. Inspirational says When you create a Banner, it gains 40% of the Stages of your placed Banner. It also says You and Allies affected by your placed Banners Regenerate 0.1% of maximum Life per second for each Stage. These imply that even after temporary effects of placing banners disappear, tier charges do not. This means that the Dread Banner's 2% increased Fortify effect per Stage should stay around even after the temporary fortify effect disappears. Hence a placed fully charged Dread Banner grants 100% increased fortify effect (20% additional damage reduction) if you have Fortitude (or other non-Dread Banner) sources of Fortify for as long you are in it's range. My personal chosen notables for my Champion build are the Fortitude (with Unstoppable Hero prereq), First to Strike Last to Fall, and Inspirational. Therefore I am choosing to level up both with Dread Banner as my primary. Using the War Banner in the Labyrinth for traps (any additional sources of life gain and bleed removal are quite welcome). Using the Dread Banner for maps. Saving up my charges and placing the banner in the Boss room. The reason I am posting this if for people to rip apart my gem skill interactions and explain why I am reading them wrong because they seem too good to be true.
