Change:
Heal and gain a fire aura for 4s.
Heal: 1404 + 0.2x healing power.
Throwing a self-heal outside of water attunement keeps some flexibility. With the focus lack of disengage it is to keep you in the fight longer since you can’t disengage well.

The great forum duppy.

Doesn’t help fire attunement do damage, which is what it’s supposed to do.

Make it do damage to people striking you.

Why not be mundane and make it like locust swarm but with boon hate for some flavor?

Burning is damage :o.

If you want to look at Fire attunement in focus not doing damage. Firewall is the culprit for that.

One second of burning on a one second internal cooldown on a skill that’s on a defensive weapon set in an offensive attunement. That’s absolute garbage.

Firewall is its own problem, but Fire Shield might be even worse.

What fire shield reduced damage from projectiles as well? You know, to go along with the hole shield thing…
Or maybe it could give you 10% extra/reduced damage against/from burning foes.

or just reworked completely. As far as heals go, I doubt we’d see them in fire unless it was from some sort of trait (which would be awesome).

Needs a complete rework. It is just so bad.

It also gives might when you’re hit.

How about it also knock-backs and burns enemies in a small aoe-radius when used.

Alternatively, just give it a reasonable cooldown (like 15-20s) and it can be good with aura traits.

The cooldown reduction would probably be the easiest, cleanest solution, without having to also rebalance combo fields and signet-aura builds. Would make sense too seeing as how it’s a bit odd that Shocking Aura gets half the cooldown, when it’s a lot more useful.

Also, Frost Aura >> Fire Aura (by like a million).

A few extra might stacks might help too. 1 Might stack is nothing, 3 per hit and now you better make sure you kill that ele of they are coming back with a vengeance. Especially on a condi build, it could be some pretty potent defense.

On its own I agree with you, but when considering the signet-auras, aura sharing builds and leap combo auras, I fear that could be a bit too strong.

I like this idea of 3 stacks per hit……I’d be happy just with that little change.

Those builds are not even viable, though.

3 stacks for hit would be massively OP, they way I’ve started using fire shield is..to sit on top of flame wall and use phoenix when an enemy get close , in no time I get up to 16 stacks of might as the enemy keep hitting me, I’m using a s/d burst build so you can imagine the dmg I do ( PvP ), I then use freezing gust+comet to stop any healing attempt, or gale to interrupt them should daze fail

Something should be done with it to make it more helpful. They should remove fire aura cooldown or decrease it to 0.5. The aura is helpful but it can not be stacked and it is very situational.

not really situational, I use it to stack might quickly while putting pressure on enemy, it works really

They’re pretty viable, you’re just hung up on your cantrips too much.
