Guild Wars 2

I think adding a new aura to the game would allow for adding a bit more sustain to professions that have a profound weakness to physical damage in 1v1 match ups – probably more so than they should. Condi Rev’s and Necromancers rely on attrition to win fights, so I would suggest layering this aura into the Mallyx skill-set and into Spectral Armor for Necromancers. Remove the protection from Spectral Armor.

Dark Aura: Whenever you are struck by a foe, that foe is weakened for x seconds.
Whenever you are struck by a critical hit, inflict blind for 2 seconds.

The intent would be to give these professions more disengage potential against melee physical professions when they get focused in team fights. It would also allow them to hold/mute points for a larger window of time in 1v1s if it is used well.

Spectral armor should just convert incoming damage into Life Force in the same way infused light works.

+1 (need message to be at least 15)

Well if there would the a dark aura is also should be on dark fields.

Lol, just no. Weakness is already the strongest condi in this game that can change every power opponent into a running potato. And not only you want to make it spammable, worse, autotrigger on hit, but you also want to add blind so you can be sure that you won’t get any hit while this aura is active.

What about that instead :

Dark aura : Whenever you are struck by a foe, the incoming damage is converted into healing and the foe takes equal damage.
Whenever you hit a foe, converts all his boons into conditions.

What about instead introduce new passive things we start to remove some?

I’d rather see a life leech Aura with a 1 sec ICD.

^^this.

Do you want necros and revs be another warrior that you can’t attack for something like 1 min (depending on passives and utilities) while he is free to attack you 24/7?
They need to nerf all HoT specs to core levels (yes, thief including, just for you, my “fans”) before they start adding anything, imo.

Yea, a dark aura sounds like it should utilize life leech in some way. Potentially corrupt a boon or transfer a condition when you land a crit hit, 1sec ICD.

LMFAO SO YOU THINK MAKING EVERYONE AN INFUSE LIGHT REVENANT WITH THE POWERS OF A NECRO NOT OVERPOWERED? pls

necro really doesn’t need more weakness. condis wont work against resistance anyways. maybe it could just steal a bit of life or something.

We are talking about something like a possible fire aura but with a leech effect instead of burning and might.

to paraphrase a certain politician

For every new passive added to the game, the Devs need to remove Two existing passives.

blood magic is possibly the worst traitline in the game right now.

How would an aura you need a dark field and a leap finisher for be passive though? oô
