Hannelore.8153 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I don't know if this has been discussed anywhere yet, but why doesn't Sand Squall on the warhorn provide Transmute Earth, even though it clearly gives Magnetic Aura, and that the sceptor/warhorn lacks any kind of transmute skill unlike every other weapon combination? I hope this is just an oversight.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Crinny.6190 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yeah the only thing i can say is it hasn't got 'Aura' as the name of the skill like Magnetic Aura or Shocking Aura meaning it doesnt get the detonate aura which sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steki.1478 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Because it already provides an effect in addition to aura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing in ArenaNet's talks about transmuting auras that says this is a balancing point, they clearly just forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aigleborgne.2981 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Transmuting auras is clearly a beta feature. While these transmuted skills are nice, they are unpratical to use. Auras are already short, it's not cool to rush using transmute before it expires. Casting time doesn't help too. And you usually swap, so it's lost... Weird things can happen : dagger main Cast shock aura, switch to water, and look frozen aura... I hoped transmuting would have been improved yesterday. Maybe next patch...

Jski.6180 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Its not going to happen the aura skills with transmute on them where just pure auras. If the skill has more then just auras on it then it dose not need a transmute effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed core weapon skills that only give auras to do additional effect, which is detonating auras. Warhorn skills and shouts already have primary effects on top of auras. It's not an oversight, it's intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next patch... I use dagger/focus so I have fire aura and air aura. Transmuting fire is decent to get some might. Air is an intentional stun if you're looking to burst someone quickly. Usually I stun as my last skill in air, then switch quickly to fire weapon skill 3. Now that aura's can provide fury in Air tree- it's a pretty decent burst.
