Divine Aura finally working correctly

Anzak · 01-05-2007, 10:52 PM

I just wanted to share with every thing I think Divine Aura is finally working correctly (ie taking into account Mitigation). The other night we raided Crab and at one point things get a little tight with the the power drain and all. Well I hit DA and it blocked 5 or 6 hits all of which were 5-6K and I didn't once get the message about my divine aura was not able to stop the damage. Before every time I had tried this on a raid mob the highest I was seeing that was being stopped was about 3K and that would be 1 in 3 or 4 blocked with the others saying they could not be blocked. I'll have to tank a few more raid mobs to be sure but this is a huge deal since the last time I used it on a raid mob was around the middle of decemeber and it was not working correctly.

Your right. Don't believe everything you read on the forums.

This is as of 2 weeks ago when i sent about 50 petitions in about this POS ability.

i know the second one is alittle harder to see but key things to look for in here .. on the first look at my max hp up there 9,600+ shouldn't have absorbed the first hit but the second two i should have. now on the second picture notice once again look at my max hp up there. now look towards the top of the damage log it didn't even block a 2K decap blocked everythign else but not decap gg on this POS ability. oh and if your thinking i didn't cast it before he hit me with decap i casted about 3 seconds before the duel began

DA has been working for a while, the way it's working is it mitigate dmg that is below of 50% of your CURRENT HP, so in the first picture you get hit for 5050 dmg, which is above your hp 9681hp (50% is 4840), which leaves you with 4631, so the next hit is still above your 50% of your current hp, im guessing you used LoH after this hit so, that's why the next hit hit you, and killed you.

DA does work, but it doesnt work on 50% of you max hp, is about your current hp, so that's why I can see from your second pic DA protected you from everything but the decap, dunno why my self, maybe it's special?

Im still considering if DA is worth it, it's a good skill just need to know how to use it.
