I just bought Zephyrs Boon. = Swiftness from using an Aura

For D/D you have two Auras. My question is why is there a difference in active time ?

Shocking Aura = 7 seconds of Swiftness
Frost Aura = 3 seconds of Swiftness

Why the difference ?

Thanks

I don’t think there’s an actual reason for this; more likely, this is a bug, and come this Friday, we’ll probably see both of em at either 3 seconds or 7.

I thought it was 10 seconds and 5 seconds?

Not sure why there is a difference, but it would be nice to see them both at 10 seconds. This game does not have enough group buffs, and weakening one of the few group buffs would be a step in the wrong direction.

I guess shock aura gives more fury/swiftness because Zephyr’s Boon is an air trait, so the air aura is more powerful for that.

I’ve read somewhere that shock aura is supposed to give 2x time boons from Zephyr’s Boon, so it’s not even a bug.

on D/D you have not only 2 aura , you have 3 aura .

4 fire + 3 earth = aura fire .

If I had to guess I think it’s related to the fact that shocking aura comes from a MH weapon, thus being more crucial to your gameplay style, than an OH which is more like a complement.

It’s a bug, you can still get it to activate occasionally.

works for me 9 times out of 10. magnetic grasp (earth 3) on the other hand, frequently freezes me in place for several seconds and i can’t use any skills, it’s pretty ridiculous.

then there is also the fact that fire aura is terribly terribly underpowered.

downed state is bad for PVP

i havend noticed a working fire aura. Also there will be no boon granted for that. Check it out yourself or check the Bugforum.

Same here, occasionally, the fire aura procs from Fire4+Earth3, but I never get Fury / Swiftness from it. Don’t know if it’s intended, but either way, it sux!

I never liked the Fire Aura (it’s the worst aura imo) but those Boons would’ve been very nice.

What puzzles me with Shocking Aura is that it gives the highest boon duration while it has the lowest cooldown, at least if the highest CD aura gave the higher boon duration I could somehow “explain it”.

More like 2.05 auras. because you got around 5% to get an aura with that combo.
