I’m trying to sort this out once and for all. I know some damage auras like Samarog’s and MO’s can be blocked, proccing Deja Vu for Chrono, but I’m really curious to know which bosses have unblockable (or no) auras at all. Additionally, I’m interested in which bosses have permanent revealed and which don’t. Thanks in advance!

Xera, Escort and Trio don’t have an damaging aura, not sure about the rest.

My current understanding is this:

Damaging Aura:

  • VG
  • Gorseval
  • Sloth
  • Matthias
  • KC
  • Cairn
  • MO
  • Samarog
  • Deimos

No Damaging Aura:

  • Sabetha
  • Trio
  • Escort
  • Xera

Unblockable Damaging Aura:

  • Sloth
  • Deimos
  • ???

Perma-Revealed:

  • Gorseval
  • ???

I figure I may be wrong on a few cases, though, so I’m sure someone else has investigated this to look into it more.

  • Xera
  • Samarog (Might be only on the Fixate, not sure)

Gorseval aura is unblockable. Also pretty sure KC is perma revealed.

“perma reveal” only lasts til first time gliding because the reveal on landing overwrites the “perma” one nice programming right there :’D

Maybe you should bug report it.

We’re made note of these inconsistencies and will be standardizing all boss damage auras alongside the next raid release.

Check the raid patch-notes for details at that time.

No Perma Reveal on Xera or Samarog . This would actually make Daredevil Viable on these fights if it was the case.

Can you make all damage auras unblockable then? That would at least give aegis some reason to exist.

That would be acceptable. There’s usually a bunch of other things around, which you can block if you want.

That’s great news! Does that also include standardizing the “Revealed” buff for all bosses? While on the one hand it’d be cool for Thieves to always get a free 200 power in raids, I actually think it’d be much better if they could properly use their stealth attacks. Because of the Revealed buff, the D/D build is totally crippled in certain encounters, and this definitely impacts the possibility of other builds in the future.

As far as blockable/unblockable auras, I tend toward thinking they should be unblockable so that Aegis carries value. As a Chronomancer, I think we should be actively trying to block real attacks to proc Deja Vu instead of getting random procs on an aura. That’s just me, though.

Anything that nerfs chrono in raids is a plus in my books (spoken as a Guardian who wants to be able to support on the support class).

Honestly, dejavu should be like sword offhand where if you don’t block you have a follow up skill that still summons the second phantasm.
