Talk:Eternal Aura

Is it just me, or is this skill broken as the ace of spades in terms of Dervish Forms? Bubbinska 12:34, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

yes i think it keep dervish froms up forever in pve, that fun.. --Bob 12:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

The forms were abused in PvP, hmmm Grenth comes to mind. Not sure if recharging of disabled forms was intended or not but at least it won't affect PvP.--Bane of Worlds (talk • contribs) 15:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Verified it does recharge forms when it ends--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:206.45.164.254 .

I'm not entirely convinced that this was an accident. The way the avatars normally work isn't really conducive to PvE usage - 60 seconds' duration followed by 60 seconds' downtime (give or take a few seconds either way). Fights with an individual mob in PvE rarely last more than 20 - 25 seconds, and you often only get to fight one more mob before it runs out. Allowing Avatars to be used every 30 seconds or so in PvE is actually quite a good gameplay decision by Anet, and the fact that it's a PvE-only skill avoids all the 'ITS 2.3% TOO POWERFUL, NERF PLZ' GvG whiners.

If you nerf the avatar-reloading side of the skill, it will make it useless. Or even worse. 91.165.232.183 15:15, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Yup, to me the avatars are the only thing I would value this skill for. If they remove that feature they might as well remove the skill. Dervish Skills recharge pretty fast otherwise.--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:68.250.213.15 .

I find that it combines well with Heart of Fury and aura of holy might to keep up attack speed and boost attack power.82.153.4.142 13:24, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Great skill for avatars, horrible art... 76.170.188.190 02:35, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I really like the art. --Lou-Saydus 21:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Usable in PvP?

Can we get a confirmation that this skill is allowed in pvp enviroments (RA, TA, HA, GvG, etc.)?

Can't be, it's a PvE skill (dependent on sunspear rank) Bubbinska 10:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you kind sir.

shame that there's only hero skill trainers so it's unusable for players. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:83.146.214.230 .

Um, you have it backwards. Hero skill trainers give the skill to you AND the heroes of that profession, minus title skills such as SS rebirth signet. See Hero Skill Trainer--Raph 15:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assassins need this.

Motion to expand the skill's usage to Assassins. Okay, Arenanet, please take it seriously so I don't need to take this to a petition website! Woop ‧ talk ‧ 04:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect Note

It says "with enough Mysticism, Form skills can be kept up indefinitely". But the attribute is Sunspear Rank. So shouldn't it say "with enough Sunspear Rank, Form skills can be kept up indefinitely"?

I thinks it's refering to increasing mysticism to allow for the recharge and effect time of eternal aura. If the total time for the form is 40 seconds (recharge time + duration effect) then you should be able to recast the form without having a gap.
