Water Magic

Swirling Aura

Current:

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

Proposed:

Vili's Proposal

• 5 1 15 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 05:47, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Raine's Proposal

• 10 1 12 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. Raine - talk 05:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
