Speak to me folks:

[Lorichie]

Talk to me about this Aura. I have lots of clerics and it needs to be decided if im gonna respec enhancements to get this thing. I'm about to do it on a lowbie so i have no practical experience with it, and having been gone so long, any "pulse on the community" i had fooled myself into thinking i had is long long gone.

Conversate away...convince me to get it, or not...

I ran a few quests with a cleric that had it on all the time and he has most of his mana left at the end of the quests. If we want to be healed, we just stayed close to the healer - which is what you do if you want to be healed anyhow, heh.

[Lehrman]

It is fantastic if you are the cleric. For everyone else, its only good if the cleric stays near you.

Lorichie!!!! HI!!! Guess what hun. John and I are playing on Khyber again some. Just thought I'd let you know

Oh and the aura thing IMO is a yes. I ran with a cleric the other day on my monk who had the aura and it was GREAT. I don't take much dmg on her but what I was taking was being given right back by the aura pretty much. So I like it a LOT.

Hey sweetie,

Ive got lots of leveling to do so i'm sure we'll run into each other. Some folks say it works with extend, and of course it wants empower healing, which i hear is becoming necessary for big boy quests at higher levels, thats two more feats that i dont have atm. My ugly, fat, bald headed clerics with six cha arent gonna get many turns and its not likely im gonna open a slot for cha item....Just curious what everyone else does.

Thx for responses folks.

Not to mention staying close to the cleric isnt most folks favorite past time.

...just don't get too used to it. it is far to overpowered for turbine to let it stand as is. Be prepared to change once it is nerfed

[dranreb]

it Is Fantastic If You Are The Cleric. For Everyone Else, Its Only Good If You Stand Near The Cleric.

Ftfy!

[Sogrin]

fit this PRE on a battle cleric and it may make them actually usefull >.>

*DISCLAIMER* only battle clerics that dont drool on their keyboards can make use of above statement. YMMV *DISCLAIMER*

Battle cleric's best friend.

My 6 Cha battle-cleric dwarf loves his new aura. Turns regenerate once every two minutes, and at level 8 the aura already lasts over a minute and a half (with extend on), so you can keep the aura on nearly all the time.

The healing power is the equivalent of chugging a CLW pot/whipping a CLW wand as fast as the cooldown would allow (5 health, 9 with superior ardor, per 2 secs), so pretty much renders those obsolete as long as the cleric is alive.

It has now shifted the emphasis of healing onto the recipients: if you want to be healed get in the aura.

I can now happily swing away and only use sp for the occasional emergency heal. No need to obsessively monitor everyone's red bars, since they can now effectively self-heal for free just by standing near me. If they get low on health and not bother to take care of it they've got only themselves to blame.

I no longer take "clerics should heal not fight" comments seriously.

Last night I was consistently getting nearly double the kills as barbarians, and everyone else, in most PUGs.

[Spoprockel]

It's awsome, since the enhancement also regenerates your turn attempts, which means you theoretically have infinitive heals for free.

I've recently found a bug with it though.

Whenever i equip a CMW wand while my aura is on it changes from originally healing 4HP per tick to 1HP per tick.

It changes back to 4HP when i use another turn attempt to restart it or change back to a weapon.

It also seems to change to different numbers when im wielding different wands (2HP with wand of recitation).

So at the moment this bug seems to make it incompatible with wands.
