Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

I have a couple questions that I’d like clarification on.

1) What happens when you take both Powerful Aura and, say, Elemental Shielding, then use “Aftershock!”? The way I see it, you only get Magnetic Aura applied and Protection applied once, right? So does that mean Powerful Aura has no effect on Shouts, and is only useful when sharing weapon skill/combo field/Overload/Rune effect Auras?

2) Hardy Conduit: does the increased Protection effectiveness affect only Protection that you gain, or does it also affect Protection that you give to others?

Thank you in advance.

1. Im not sure the answer to, but i can say in general than when u apply an aura with those traits, u get the listed benefits, every time an aura is applied. I believe there is a bug so that if u apply the same aura twicd before the first runs out, the aura effect will not stack but reset itself to max. The boons stack tho.

2. Ur 40% prot is spread to others

1. your allies do get the auras from shouts when using Powerful Aura. So if you have Elemental Shielding on as well they will get the protection from the auras.

No, you get the auras from shouts regardless of Powerful aura.

Sadly the double aura from combining the water GM with shouts was nerfed away.

what about from blasting frost field?

You’ll only get the aura once. You used to be able to get double duration for your teammates but that got nerfed as it was the only aura that stacked in duration.

So if I’m getting this right, Powerful Aura only shares Auras granted by:

-Weapon skills
-Rune effects
-Leap finisher Auras
-Overloads (wit Unstable Conduit)

Right?

oh ok.
(I was wondering if it granted double the on-aura effects. was already pretty sure the duration wouldn’t double up)
