Guild Wars 2

I was playing a dungeon with my guild and i was trying out an aura sharing build using powerful aura. I speced into air, water, and fire. While i was stacking on my guildies i used Magenetic aura and it worked as would you expect, everyone gets it along with the boons that should be attached to it. However, shortly after i switched to fire and gained a fire aura but nobody else seemed to recieve it. I tested this a few times after this with the same results. Is powerful aura only for weapon skills that apply auras or should it be on all procs as well? Or is there ICD on powerful aura, or is it you can’t apply more then one aura at a time. I also could just be screwing this up tho i don’t know how. Sorry if this has been answered i never tried sharing auras before this.

To date it’s only been weapon skills - any auras you gain from other sources (like leap finishers and rune sets) were never shared in the past. (edit: haven’t tested Sunspot + Powerful Aura but I don’t believe you’re wrong when you say it doesn’t work)

I’m disappointed that they’ve not fixed this by now. The trait already has to compete with Cleansing Water, and the Sunspot + Powerful Aura combo takes up two of your trait lines. Elemental Attunement grants AoE swiftness *and* protection as regularly as you’ll be proccing Sunspot for Elemental Shielding or Zephyr’s Boon, to boot - and comes in a trait line with utility that the other lines still can’t really offer.

The only auramancy build I’ve ever actually been able to have any fun with doesn’t even use Powerful Aura - you can blast the ice field on Staff to grant a Frost Aura to nearby allies.

It’s not true that you can only share weapon auras anymore. You can get the fire aura from fire attunement on your teammates, but the radius is too small, so you probably were too far away.

Alright thanks for the insight. I will try again.
