i dont know waht happend with Aura Flare. It makes less damge then Aura Bolt in PvP. I dont see a different if i spam it. The Aura Flare debuff appears but without any effect...
It was nerfed-- in PvP, and in PvP only, if you start spamming it multiple times it starts dealing a lot less damage. Try it again when PvP (I'm not sure about the arena though)...
Unfortunately they screwed it up on the live servers. I tested it on gustin on our clan sk, first use of auraflare - 129 damage, damage with magic damage debuff - 129, damage of prominence - 349, damage with magic damage debuff - about 120 or so, aurabolt - 169 damage. So apparently they now made it so aurflare is half damage on first hit already and every hit after that is no change.
u think that ppl are too lazy to read the c4 Note ???
If u read it u will see that its completly wrong !
The first and the last hit makes the same DMG with Aura Flare !
For me its clear i dont spam Aura Flare, i spam Aura Bolt.. less mana ... more dmg. Nothing changed
Would you care to explain what exactly is "completely wrong"?
It was intended, if you spam Aura Flare, you get a debuff that lowers your Matk for 3 seconds, so its clear that all spells do less damage in that time, and than normal damage again.
Yes, you can still use Aura Bolt. I haven't tested it yet, but I think this nerf is reasonable (and yes, I am affected by it).

The assumption was that the FIRST aura flare would not do reduced damage, only subsequent ones.
It's not an assumption, the discription says that the DEBUFF makes all magic damage at half. It does NOT say that auraflare is now perminantly reduced to 50% damage even on first hit. On the pts I tested it and first hit was normal damage and all other hits were different, but it's not like that on the live servers.
