Smile Make balance treated as aura
IMO Balance gems should be treated as auras.

This would be helpful for people using energy or mana only - mostly melee that using auras that drains only energy.

Reason for that it takes long time to draw it - and it would be easier to get chance to have it at beginning.

Same with casters using red magic only - you got few resists and you "stuck" unable do any damage for some period of time - so either you have to wait for burst to come out or your mana to regenerate so you can cast another gem and be stuck again.
Balance would let you cast gem every 10 sec if you drain your source of mana - transferring it from energy. I think it would benefit all players.

Before anyone will troll this idea - I'm not talking about myself but many friends are struggling to keep it balanced - especially raising casters. After one source is depleted they cannot do any damage unlike melee that regardless of mana/energy pools can swing non-stop

been asked before. I'd allow this if NEW, Epic balance gems that would count as auras (and this would be the epic effect of the gem)

Anything else would be a huge buff to casters that do not really need it.

I disagree with this suggestion. Balance is not an aura with a constant effect. It is a continual replenishing gem just like transcendence and wisp lift.

An interesting idea would be balance as aura as long as you don't have a staff equiped at the start of combat.

Staffers can put Balance in their first slot and therefore have it from the begining ;P

Making it count as an aura would benefit only non-staffer casters

I'd like a skill that makes continuous gems have a chance to go into play automatically if they are in "aura slots".
Make it affect everyone, and this gives a huge variety of new tactics for everyone.
