This thread has intrigued me a lot. I have never paid much attention to Auras, but this thread got me thinking.Cilar wrote:Actually I think auras are the equivalent of the buff in other MMORPGs. They are the most interesting in group.
By itself, a 1st level Aura that lasts 2 mins. and is off for 30 doesn't sound like a good deal. However, think about what happens if there is a group of 5 people, all of them with the Aura. At only 10 SPs, it's not hard to get. You can take turns casting it, and that's already 10 mins. out of 30., a much better ratio already.
Add to this what happens if bonuses from Auras actually stack? Auras are DEFINITELY designed for team play, if you solo use Self Heals. But in teams, I can see that it can potentially make a large difference.
