Mercenary War Banner doesn't work

[Calai]

War Banner skill is grayed out and says "Not enough valour". I've no idea how to acquire valour. It is supose to be by killing monsters but that won't do it. What do I need to do to get valour?

[GetUrAssToMars]

Read the skill. Valour is gained by close proximity to unique or rare mobs.

It also says "killing enemies with attacks", which I'm doing but still no valour

Are the enemys rare? and are you close to them when you do?

killing regular ennemies should work. I just tested it and attacking generates valor just fine. I think it's a setup issue.

Are you using an attack to kill mobs (spells don't work, minions won't too, totem like balistas might not work either) ?

I bet he didn't activate the skill for reserving spirit.

Still not working when I stand next to elite monsters. But what do you mean?

Yeah, regular crossbow shot... won't generate valour

That must be that, your banner is not activated. War banner is a buff, you need to activate it in the gem menu by right clicking the skill icon (the square one), it will display a spinning circle when it's activated.

Have you tried Reading?

I have my war banner activeaded (I see the swirlies on the ability) but then it says "using this skill consuems its valor to place an inspiring banner with an aura......" How do I use the ability to place down the banner? Or does it auto drop after maxing out on valour?

I haven't tried banner yet but yes usually buff's like this should happen automatically. Took me a bit to figure out how my thunder of herald works but it works fine. Also, like others say it is obviously must be an "attack" item/weapon.. I think you can see attack listed if you hold shift or alt on your skills to see what all they do

It is one you have to use. It doesn't automatically place down. I've used it with no issues. Idk what OPs problem is.

Based on wiki it seems like your crossbow will generate valour but it probably takes a bit to spin up enough valour for your banner to have an effect. With harold of thunder I have to do a fair amount of lightning damage etc before I see herald of thunder strike enemies. As I grow stronger and apply more lighting mulitpliers, I see harold of thunder engage more and more.

Sorry to spam but it may be working and you just don't realize it because it increases your accuracy and damage rate, right? So its not something you would "see" activate?
