Since we choose to run 3 Banners for Quickness
While the pulsing boons from your banners are also valuable, your most important boon Quickness
After the initial placement, you can use Banners off-cooldown, either after Dragon Slash - Force
Dragon Trigger
Try to place your Banners in a spot where your group will benefit from them the most. For example, if a boss is about to move, place them between your current position and where you’re about to move to. Keep in mind the 360 boon radius.

Your only CC to consider are your 3 Dragon Slash skills with the trait Unyielding Dragon
Banner of Strength
You will have to judge if slashing a breakbar is worth it as it might heavily decrease your damage. That said its still the best option if you get a Dragon Slash off for free and it’s always worth CC’ing to avoid one of your friends being jumped on and sacrificed to Samarog for example.

Gear
The build shown above exchanges one piece of equipment from Berserker stats to Diviner stats. Your shoulders, gloves or boots will be enough and guarantee the most damage, but feel free to exchange any one piece you like as you will still cap your critical strike chance regardless of which you choose. This will result in a very small amount of DPS lost for a bit more boon duration.
