Light Aura
I do agree with the light aura on blast as opposed to only leap, the retaliation on blast was in my opinion just subpar compared to this new aura. Also, I really do like the aura’s holy feeling and would like to wear a hammer and blast it all the time (guardian)

Currently blasting a light field grants retaliation.
If they changed this to grant light aura instead I think that would be a good thing.
As a Guardian, I felt like Light Fields were pretty subpar. Light Aura actually feels pretty cool. Perma retaliation, and vulnerability. Thanks ANet!
Does it have a nice animation/visual? Didn’t get a chance to check this out yet.
“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
Apparently Light Aura doesn’t work with Elementalist Aura-Sharing (neither the leap nor the runes).

It sort of has a primastic look to it. It’s not super noticeable like a fire or chaos shield, but it does look nice.

Yeah, I’m trying to decide if a full set of Superior Runes of Radiance may be in my guard’s future. What do other guardians think?
Superior Rune of Radiance:
+25 Vitality
When you receive an aura, you gain 5 seconds of swiftness.
+50 Vitality
When you use a heal skill, you gain 4 seconds of light aura.
+100 Vitality
The duration of auras you apply are increased by 33%.
New Aura: Light Aura
Gain 2 seconds of retaliation when struck. (Cooldown: 1 second)
Apply 8 seconds of vulnerability when struck.
Light Field:
Leaping through a light field now grants 5 seconds of light aura.

Cant see light aura’s allure pve/dungeon-wise. Maybe pvp/wvw?
I’ve mostly done wvw with my guardian lately, but I do some duo/solo running around. I’ve got my full set of soldier’s armor, plus exotic or ascended weapons, but I haven’t picked a complete rune set yet.
It seemed to me, and I could be mistaken since my guardian isn’t my main, that this rune set was tailored for guardians, especially if you’re using greatsword or hammer.
If not guards, which is the target class for this set?

Works great with Engineer EG jump. I was wondering why I suddenly kept getting Retaliation I thought at first it was Transmute that was doing it because I was fighting mobs with Condis. Good to know, altho I dunno what I’ll do without regen maybe get the backpack regen trait hmmm.
Now if they would just fix the pickup time of Thumper turret it might actually become useful for PVE bunker builds.
