Guild Wars 2

Now there have been complaints about this already. I recently tested it to make sure of the fact, and decided to put this here. The elementalist’s powerful aura trait was recently ‘fixed’ not to apply boons double with shouts. Now this is how it works: ele shouts apply a certain aura to yourself and allies around you. Powerful aura applies auras you apply to yourself to allies around you as well. When you use a shout with powerful auras traited, it would apply an aura to you, and double-apply auras to allies (1 from the shout, 1 from powerful auras). Auras don’t stack in duration, so the only thing this did was apply the boons and the elemental bastion heal twice. The so-called fix removed that. Now all we have left is a GM! auramancer trait that competes with arguably the best ele trait in game and does not work with auramancy. I don’t know if this counts as an (intentional?) bug, but I really think this is something that needs attention.
