Just a thought: It could be interesting to make a skill that, instead of increasing a detrimental aura's effect, increases the chance to avoid resists for it, similar to the aggravation skill.

The lvl 74 Black Magic Auras in Roggork are Rank 4

Why Jeff has not responded to this yet is beyond me. I approve. Besides, the DK and Pally bonuses to Auras are pretty weak to begin with...

I also wonder that, I have obviously angered him in the past(I have had a total of 2 Forum Infractions, totalling 3 discipline Points), and it seems like hes holding a grudge or something against me, even E-mailed him about some account information that i needed some verification on, and just got a disrespectfull reply, that had nothing to do with what i was asking.

And i agree that DK/Pally bonuses have always been pretty weak from the beginning, and that has never changed, even with these new runes.

(Example) -Dark Knight- @ level 100 CE/CS = +9% Bonus to detrimental Auras.

Rank 4 Rune of Sloth = -14% Attack speed to Range, Melee, and gem draw.
With that said, you can see that a level 100 dark knight, with 100 CE/CS gains a mere 1.26% extra detrimental effect from this Aura. making a -14% rune a -15% rune... Thats what DK's get, very powerfull...

I think if someone Really Really wants to be a detrimental auraer they should be a necromancer and play meleemancer style cause well the necro black magic buff is to all black magic effects there for the auras are better for necros then DKs :/

There are no plans for a skill to buff these gems, but DK's and Pally's are going to get a buff.

Guess that makes sense, but even if so that still means that Pallys-
get a class bonus + x2 supportive skills for thier Auras.
While a DK would still only recieve class bonus + x0 Supportive skills.

DK's get a PvP bonus and a melee bonus. Pally's get a resurrection.

*calls dibs on getting a pally buff*

Seriously it's starting to seem like the best way to get your idea implemented is to get me to support it not trying to be cocky, just noticing a pattern XD

In my experience using detrimental auras, and of course being a DK, I've noticed there are risk factors involved with using them.

Resistance is always a possibility, not knowing exactly what(if anything) is needed to make them connect more often, and being bound to only one enemy target.

As opposed to the other, group beneficial auras we all know and love where once they're set in play, they'll start working immediately and stick to every group member.
