    Clever uses for Salyin Battle Banner

    Hi all, finally found something worthy of sharing

    I think most know of the Salyin Battle Banner, which gives you stealth for 1 second and summons a npc that taunts everything
    what many might not know is that it as of 8. of feb. got changed to no longer require you to be outside and in pandaria, which means that you can use it everywhere including in instances!

    some of the uses I've found for it so far:
    skipping trash when soloing old instances, pull alot of mobs, and reset them (don't think it works if you are more people, or you would have to time it) I use it in TK when farming ashes, the entire first hallway, I run through and pop the banner, bam, skips half the trash

    resetting aggro, as you get stealthed you reset your aggro, which I think can be HUGE, for instance, when tanks change on a boss, the tank a will have alot of vengeance and will out aggro, if he doesn't slow down on dps, while tank b gets his vengeance up. if tank a uses the battle banner just as tank b taunts, tank a will have 0 threat, and will not have a chance to regain aggro, you can do this twice per fight (1 per tank) which can help alot if you are having enrage issues

    if you as a dps get aggro for some reason, you can also use it to reset aggro, or as a DK you can death grip a mob, and use the battle banner, and have the mob run back to whoever had aggro before.

    I havn't tested this, but it should work, altough very very hard to time!
    as the mob taunts bosses and such, the boss will attack the mob, he can only take 1 hit, if timed correctly it could be special spells, such as impales and similar spells, making the tank getting 1 less stack, and possible even resetting stacks (depending on fight ofc.)

    what unfortunately does not work
    in raids, it does not make you leave combat, which means that it doesn't start the cd on pots etc.

    hope this helps someone, I find it really useful in certain situations.
    if someone has more uses, be sure to share them

    I searched and couldn't find any posts like this (only 1 with escaping ganks)
