Water Magic[edit]

Swirling Aura Swirling Aura[edit]

Current:[edit]

  • 10Energy 1Activation time 45Recharge time Enchantment Spell. (8...18...20 seconds.) You have 50% chance to block projectile attacks.

Proposed:[edit]

Vili's Proposal[edit]

  • 5Energy 1Activation time 15Recharge time Enchantment Spell. (1...7...8 seconds.) Target ally has 50% chance to block projectile attacks.
    • Change the specs for Swirling Aura to ~those of Shield Stance (in terms of duration vs. recharge); make it able to target other allies; change to 5e. Pretty simple to fix. A bit overpowered for Water Mesmers, maybe, but since it is 50% instead of 75% block, and only affects projectiles, it may be okay. By the way, I miss "Shields Up!", that was a fucking incredible skill before they nerfed it. Vili User talk:Vili 05:47, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Raine's Proposal[edit]

  • 10Energy 1Activation time 12Recharge time Enchantment Spell. (4...9...10 seconds.) Attacks against target ally have a 50% chance to miss.
    • Between the dishearteningly-long recharge and decidedly "meh" effect, Swirling Aura was anything but viable. It has been worked into something more like Blurred Vision cost-, activation-, recharge-, and effect-wise. User Raine R.gif Raine - talk 05:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
