Beta 0.7.2

Raises the banner. Those who see it strike faster.

It has no cooldown: it is always on while it sits on the hero's active bar, and does nothing anywhere else.

Values by rank

Banner scales with Haste. Its value at each rank is 910 + 260 × rank:

Rank12345678910
Value1,1701,4301,6901,9502,2102,4702,7302,9903,2503,510
Haste+11.7%+14.3%+16.9%+19.5%+22.1%+24.7%+27.3%+29.9%+32.5%+35.1%

Haste is a percentage stat, so the value is used as written (in basis points, shown here as a percentage), times the skill power.

Haste = value × skill power
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Command skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it
