Pre patch you could set up a raid with a guild banner and gain 1500hp or mana then you could set up all of your groups in fellowships and use a campfire to gain an additional 1500 mana or hp totalling 3000 hp or 1500 hp and mana etc.. if you were to use both
Banner

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with guild banners since they are called "guild standards" after all.
My issue is they make it sound like sham buffs are new nerf

A line of Shaman buffs also increase stat caps for the duration of the spells:

never mind - Guild Banners = Standards (not standards is in normal way of doign things)

The nerf on standard effects.

As the previous poster had stated I came up with the idea of using them both during raids as somewhat of an exploit, it would have been engenious to put all of the casters in their own seperate fellowships and have them use the mana, while the guild banner used the standard of health, and have the melees using overhaste (in their own fellowships) or cleave / ferocity. That would in turn allow the melees to get the benefit Standard of Health, and the Standard of Cleaving. And the casters to get the benefits Standard of Health and Standard of Mana.

P.S. I forgot to add that that is how they nerfed it. You can no longer recieve more than one of those type effects at one point in time (so you can no longer do that).

Standards?

At first glace, I would think that this relates to campfires and guild banners. As such, I would guess that you now get a benefit from one or the other, not both. As a speculation, I imagine that it's possible that the implementation was broken, allowing you to set up a banner with one effect, then create another with a new effect, maintaining both effects.

I know very little about it, but this is my conclusion based on that little knowledge.
What is now nerfed?
