Death aura graphic needs changing ASAP

[wiglin]

I would like a green version of fire shield. We all know the size of the radius and we do not need the aura to graphically take up the whole radius. A green version of fire shield is not too hard on the eyes, and would not be annoying to other players.

Disagree with this. The aura should indicate its bounds in some way.

A better solution would be for the effect to be mostly clear except at the edges...maybe have it pixelated so that it only appears more defined as more pixels are closer together?

Just put a radial graphic on the ground, why clutter your view in any way?

...would be nice being able to use death aura while on the way to VoD, for sure. "Dangit, I buffed myself with death aura out of habit, have to wait 2 minutes since I can't see jack! <1 minute later> Screw it, I'm getting impatient... SH*T I FELL!."

I don't have that much trouble, usually, but I dislike being unable to tell how far away I'm affecting things (or others are...the RS aura is MUCH bigger than it appears), particularly with an effect that deals damage. A purely horizontal ring just seems kinda ugly.

Easy fix: recall and re-enter the sub. Buffs = gone.

Mods you said you notice it let us know yous till are thinking on it please

I understand that also what is annoying is when I cast that every cleric in the party starts to scream "I CAN'T HEAL YOU NOW YOUR A LICH." and I tell them I am not even a pale master and do not even have lich form it is death aura. The graphic does bug me as well and even makes it harder to see underwater.

Why are you bothering with Death Aura if you're not a PM? How much does it do per tick, 10 damage?

[Thoom]

How about aura options when you click the spell, like how the Fire Shield has option for Cold Version? Then have several options on how the graphic is displayed for you. Option 1: classic green bubble of headache/vision impairment. Option 2: ring on ground with clear smoke effect. Option 3: pink poodles doing backflips

More like 40.

And level 1 LOLcasual Kobolds aren't able to snuff it out with a Gust of Wind spell, like they do with disco balls and walls of fire. Although I hear that's coming with Update 9.

How are you doing 40 a tick as a non-PM? It does around 40 a tick as a PM who has around +45% to neg spell damage.

What kobolds are blasting out your ****? Use DBF or something.

[Wildseed]

OH NOES! DON'T REMOVE THE GREEN BUBBLES O'SQUISHY!

PS : could female half-elves be improved please ? they make really poor cheerleaders so far.

QFT!

But, as for the rest agreed. We need something different than the green bubble or need it to be less intrusive on our screen.

this.

maybe like leaving dead grass or a light mist.

and are auras supposed to shed so much light? may as well begin to use skeletal bones as torches.
in pnp u needed a spell like detect magic or detect undead and had to turn it off anyways because it could be too strong.

Death's Touch or some other Nullification IV+ focus is not hard to come by.

Admittedly, it's not awesome damage, but it's something.

[wigthemaster]

I agree. We need new visual for aura, new sound effects for it and perhaps even different hp bar color for party list to make healers life a bit easier.

I googled a bit for auras, this picture from dota seems subtle enough:

It could be pulsating to replace that sound effect. Visual instead of sound kind of.

is that seriously a picture of warcraft 3 with the death aura on the skelly?

I think so.

[UrbanMonkey]

Has a fix for this been confirmed? When can we expect this? I have zero interest in leveling my PM until this is fixed.

[sephiroth1084]

Playing yesterday, I thought that if the inner bubble (there are two bubbles) were removed, and the other bubble were made a little less dense, we'd be golden.

[laketrout]

One way to stop the bubble from showing is to stagger Death Aura and Lesser Death Aura. When one spell runs out it cancels the aura graphic while the other keeps inflicting pain. Admittedly, not a great work-around.

[UrbanMonkey]

Nothing? No confirmation of whether or not this is considered an issue by Turbine?

Are there people out there who like the green bubble?
