Is anyone else noticing that Verata's Aura no longer has any effect? I was standing right in the middle of a bunch of hostile minions in Tombs and it didn't do ANYTHING.

Is it broken or WHAT?

Me too, was just about to post this...

Was in a Minion Factory, 1 of our MM's died, so he lost his bond, I used Verata's Aura, the 60 odd Bone Fiends still beat me up.

I felt it was broken for the last two months. For a period of time I experimented with it and it seemed like the "range" was pathetic....like you had to be adjacent...but the more I look back on it....I wondered if it actually stole a single minion.

Last time I tried was about a month ago in Tombs and it seemed like it just took my energy and did nothing else.

Can ANET please check into this?

lmao - that would suck!!

last time I used it (it's been a while) was in Grenth's and it worked just fine, stealing 2 minions from a dying Gnasher.

The spell description states "in the area" as being the range. Is that anything within your aggro circle?

Well thats the problem.....it seems to work out to be adjacent. I was in Tombs and cast it in the MIDDLE of about 12 fiends the other team had created......nada.....crappo...zilch.

And I tested it for awhile on the that undead mission in Kryta, waiting for the wave of minion masters, let them get 1 or two fiends (letting some of the henchies die on purpose)....same result.......it was pathetic.

So I didn't keep trying it to see the actual range, once I learned that the description was a lie, I basically realized the skill would be useless in most situations....but maybe I will be proved wrong by somebody.

Your experience seems very much like my own. Perhaps if a few of us contact the GW folks they will fix it. Let us hope! I'm all for extending the range even further than originally intended. Think of the chaos that would create in Tombs!

I am trying to use VA to counter the MM's present in Alliance Battles. Last night, I was standing in the exact center of a horde of hostile minions, all of them adjacent to me. I cast VA and absolutely nothing happened; well, not exactly nothing, I did then have another Enchantment on me making me more vulnerable to Enchantment attacks.

ANET definitely needs to address this issue soon.

Dude...this thread is from '05...THREAD NECROMANCY!!!! =O
On a side note, if this STILL isn't fixed... It would be mindblowing...
