Default Eternal Aura bugged?

I added Eternal Aura to my Dervish build when they changed the skill to be a rez. However, I've noticed in the past few months that it doesn't rez anyone! I've had instances where I'd be the last in a party wipe, but when I get killed, it doesn't rez the heroes. Also, I've tried to strip it off me, and it still won't rez. Has anyone else had this happen?

The AoE for Aura is only "in the area". Dervs normally are frontline so many backline heroes will not rez, especially if they are kiting. In thruth, it only works well with midline or backline builds as a true "party rez".

It's good as a backup rez if your full team wipes. Past that, though, you really shouldn't be casting this mid-battle, and be more reliant on UA or FomF on heroes.

Thank you both for replying. However, it isn't working as it used to for me. I always castit on myself as soon as I spawn. I don't use it as a rez for the party, somuchas a personal insta-rez. I still have had several instances (yes, I'm not the best derv in the game!) where it doesn't effect my heroes. In the area would be aggro-bubble range, right?

Wiki is your friend.
"Roughly 2/9 the size of the aggro bubble, exactly 2x adjacent"

Small. Tiny. Not really big. If you want aggro bubble size, your better off with "We Shall Return!" or Light of Dwayna (lulz)... but even then...

if you're already using a PvE only skill as a res, then may I suggest By Urals Hammer ftw

earshot range party wide res, no cast duration, no dp for deaths while affected by shout, + 33% more damage for all affecetd !!!

I like the way this was very carefully worded to avoid saying "Everyone dies when it ends".

BuH and Eternal Aura both suck, don't use either one
