Guild Wars 2

Needs longer aura duration or have 6th bonus have boon duration affect aura duration. Very expensive runes for a mediocre bonus “1 second aura increase” I would love to have auramancer be more effective. Let me know what you all think.

well buff it might make the rune meta and strong but the top buff which would synergize is to change the nr 2 from swiftness to regeneration …. I would dislike it due to having water synergy again…
fitting and nice would be if nr two gives vigor and the aura duration of nr 6 is 50% gain not only 33.
Or nr two gives remove two conditions on using the heal on 10sec CD.
A lot of options ….
I would also like to use it, but i am not shure the duration works with all auras and also i loose condi removal/defence with the rune. Currently it seems i need a rune that helps with conditions or die too often to condi builds…

Yea i agreee with you on alot of the topics you brought up. Its just this rune is pretty much useless right now and since auramancer is a good option its just that there are no specific “aura” runes and this one is underwhelming

The on arua boons though this rune needs to be stronger or on a lower cd. +33% seems like enofe. Now i would not mind seeing radiance or some other rune set getting an “when under effect of an aura” you get a + effect much like str runes when you have might you get +5% dmg.

Unfortunately you have to think that the rune must be able to replace soldiers … Nice to have +33% aura duration in downstate …..
I tried a lot of runes and it´s a pitty but soldiers is the most stable one on tempest …

The +33% bonus adds 1 second to aura so you get a 5 second aura, not very beneficial from a T6 trait. Ele is the only real aura focused class and that and I think that these runes should be on par with trooper so you can choose one or the other. Trooper runes are too good to not slot over these so why not make the bonuses from the auras better. Make the 4 slot 50% bonus duration that would make the auras last 6 seconds and then make auras you apply, clear a condition or apply boons

The runes aren’t bad, there are just better options out there.

The runes are good in wvw if you goal as an ele is to increase protection uptime and heal from wash the pain away. Having aura share, overloading earth for reflect and using staff earth 3 for reflect is alot of reflection uptime which will allow your guardians to slot something other than wall of reflect.

Reflect is particularly useful with the current condi meta since I believe epidemic is a projectile

I’d like them if the 2 bonus gave reflect or condi removal on aura instead of useless swiftness.
