Standard of Heros

What is SOH, and does it give +skills like this guy was trying to convice me?
I've never heard of it until today so i assume its not that great.....

my guess is, its all the class specific runewords new to 1.11

IF im guessing correctly

EDITk i was COMPLETELY wrong on my assumption lol...i have no idea what it is either, theres a post a couple down that has a pic of it i guess...well anyone else know the right answer?

The most common idea is its simply a symbol to show your greatness. Kinda like a ear you get from a duel. If you look up Standard in a dictionary you'll see:
Standard: Noun
1. A flag, banner, or ensign, especially: a. The ensign of a chief of state, nation, or city. b. A long, tapering flag bearing heraldic devices distinctive of a person or corporation. c. An emblem or flag of an army, raised on a pole to indicate the rallying point in battle.

Now, bearing that in mind one would a assume the Standard of Hero is simply somthing to show off your 1337ness. I have... a few ideas that need testing but I'm sure it will turn up nothing.

how do you get SoH, does it drop like an ear or w/e, after a duel?

lol no u must kill the new uber monsters (meph, baal, diablo) chech kenada's thread about it.

ahhh, gotcha...kk rofl, i quit in 1.10 and then came back from scratch, i always seem to come back when all my shit expired so...im still learning about all the new stuff about 1.11

yeah its just like an ear.. Its just like an ear, u can keep them to show who uve killed.. but SOH u keep to show uve killed uber bosses.

Ears don't have level requirements.

YES! The key factor! Its probably something blizz decided not to impliment but left in half ass just like that damnable jewel!

I'm having a bit of a feeling that this new patch I keep hearing about will reveal new secrets. I'm probably wrong.

a patch was just released and now d2loader wont work *sigh*

Hahaha! I still havent closed my screen, every1s complaining. I think I'll just leave mine connected for as long as possible.
Damn, I just tried to open up w/ my second key and it trys to install the patch.

The new patch worked perfectly fine for both me and Nikki, maybe they fixed it. This was HOURS ago btw.

since SoH has a lv requirement, does that mean it has stats?

Of course not.
