ArenaNet talk:Skill feedback/Monk/Balthazar's Aura

The problem i have with this skill is that Ancestor's Rage punks it in every aspect. This does good dmg and all and probably doesn't need a buff that much, but lower cost wouldn't hurt. Moush 21:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * But I didn't only buff it, I also reduced the duration to 5 seconds to balance the other big buffs a bit. And I do think it needs to be buffed. A. von Rin 22:47, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

i like this change. 189.70.171.99 23:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * A lot of the smiting skills are really unplayable on a complete smiting bar due to hideous recharge times so this suggestion would be an improvement over the current state of this skill. Might be nice to see the damage pushed up a little more, but only a few points, maybe 35 @ 15 smiting. Ajax Baby Eater 01:01, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * this skill is too hard to use anywhere which sucks --Blood Anthem [[Image:User Blood Anthem Sig.jpg|19px]] 13:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Totally agree with this suggestion. Lower duration but improve it's power. It would make it a bit more like the monk's Ancestor's Rage. Currently even if it was balanced, you'd be paying for 8 secs when ppl will just run away, it's like Fire Storm (which ironically is more effective now than it was because ppl think so little of it they sometimes don't even bother moving, meaning they take the full dmg which is quite high). --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:82.25.180.160 (talk).

Why not any attack? That would make it great on tanks in PvE. -- Gordon Ecker 06:43, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Each time would be a bit imba imo, that should be limited somehow (maybe the next 5..15 attacks or something) poke | talk 22:26, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * i quite like that suggestion.--66.192.104.13 19:59, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
