Guild Wars 2

Who gets credit for the fire aura damage when it is passed to other people using Powerful Auras and does the fire damage scale off of the elementalist’s condition damage?

Would the elementalist get credit for the burn damage to tag kills if his warrior buddy with his fire aura is getting hit?

i don’t think. I assume u use Fire’s Embrace
Do you think Powerful Aura is a trait usefull ?
I am playing with an Aura signet build for testing but i prefer 30 of fire, 30 on earth for written in stone and 10 in air for Zephyr boon. In this way i have very high crits when activate aura.
For putting 30 in water you have to renunce to written in stone and having signet without written in stone in my opinion is a big loss.
With 30 in earth u can have aura’s 20% faster and written in stone . And, in my opinion, Auras are usefull only for the 20% crits u get with zephyr boon . If it for burning damages then i will not follow an aura build

i am trying this :

Hey guys.

When I command in WvW I play D/D PVT/Boon hybrid.

Armor (PVT): combo of 2 major rune of water. 2 sup rune of water. 2 solider’s crest. All accesories are PVT. Daggers (PVT): sup sigil of bloodlust (yes it works) and what ever you want to run for your other.

0/10/0/30/30

Air: Zypher’s Boon
Water: Cleasning Wave, Stop Drop & Roll, Powerful Aura.
Arcana: Elemental Attunement, Renewing Stanima, Evassive Arcana.

Combine this with Cleasning Fire, Earth Armor, Arcana Shield.

Now, If you are looking to lead 15-25+ in WvW this is where it is worth it. This build allows me to be alive as long as possible, which is crucial when commanding the zerg. Commander goes down, zerg goes down. Yes, I don’t hit hard, but the amount of boons I throw off is amazing. Usually I have another D/D run this build (keeping the boons) but also traiting offensive in the back of the group. Which also seems to make a difference.

So yes, Power Aura is worth it. I set Water 4 and Air 3 on autocast. Also, make sure you are cycling through your attunements properly. Also, with my extended boon duration allies recieve my duration. which is 190% after food

I used this build a lot (0,10,0,30,30) but since they nerfed Zephyr boon you loose much in dps. Now i usually prefer builds based on 30 fire ,30 earth and 10 water or arcana, so i have defense /toughness and much more dps . I used it at myst but not in wvw (i don’t like wvw)

I was thinking about trying out a support build with 20/10/10/30/0 and signets for for utilities. This would throw out a lot of fire auras and swift/fury/protection/might to everyone around me too. If the fire aura burn proc would give damage credit to the elementalist then it would be a great way to tag kills while providing a lot of support.
