i often see people they say balthasa aura ore symbol of warth is still usefull but how to use it after the AOE patch?

Well I would say specific builds...

Like when I solo worms I use balth aura

When I play monk and am the gear or keg tank I use Balth Aura and Symbol Of Wrath

Besides that, I don;t use it at all anymore, which sux because I use to be 100% Smite Monk I would never play heal..

My PvE monk carries 5 Smiting skills, and Symbol of Wrath being one of them. I still find it useful, for scattering the mob or dealing some quick damage. Foes usually get hit 3 times by Symbol of Wrath before they run off.

Having them run off is not good for dealing damage, but it helps to buy some time, whether it's to give a break from healing, a chance for energy regen or skill recharge.

For dealing damage, it's not too bad, it cost 5 energy and can do around 60 or more damage. I don't use it as my primary attacking skill, it's just nice to have as a back up whilst the others are recharging. Sometimes I use it to finish off a foe (if their health is low enough), saving my better skills for someone else.
