Radiant Aura soooooo underrated!!

Bigevilpeter · May 2016

I have no idea why people don't use radiant aura and always go repentance, the massive 20% regen to everything and everyone in your party is huge.
Repentance on the other hand only gives 10% and only when you are using the weapon slot it's in, if you switch you lose the regen. Also repentance requires corpses so in cases where bosses don't have adds or few adds its is just usless+it only restores stamina.

As a healer I really believe radiant aura is way better then repentance , can someone explain to me why i almost never see it??

it also heals not just stamina so every large pull bout when half are dead or less use it give dps more stam and hp for more dps.

the instant hp and stamina could be just what you needed to dodge out of a heavy aoe or block a CC

Repentance is a free heal and provides much needed Stamina for your Tank and any Stamina DDs you have.

The regeneration from Radiant Aura is a buff pretty much everyone has from potions or skill lines, so is pretty useless. (Major buffs don't stack)

I personally like the Radiant Aura morph much more as well. Not everyone has the gold to chug Tri-pots every minute!

Giving allies those buffs is really helpful, especially because of the long duration.
Repentance is better for Maelstrom Arena though and possibly always if running solo + using Engine Guardian (since the dwemer sphere counts as a dead body when it expires).

It's not just pots that provide those regen bonuses and the major bonuses applied by it don't stack. So yea, Repentence is almost ALWAYS better in the long run. You're free to use what you like of course.

It's also better, if you run PUGs alot, because dead mates' bodies count, too

I understand that Radiant Aura can be useful. However, since it is a percentage and not a flat value it can be underwhelming. Lets say I have 1k stamina regeneration; this means I will now have 1.2k regen during that time. On long boss fights without mobs, sure, it is more beneficial than Repentance but not many fights are like that, heck, the engine guardian set's mob can be repented for the stamina and heal.

If we had free morph changes and I had another templar in the group running Repentance I would change it in a heartbeat or if everyone was magicka based even then the tank needs stamina for blocking, but we don't get that luxury (yet

) so I just keep Repentance on my back bar and only use as needed.

Any good stam player will have Major Endurance from Pots. Most magic players frankly don't need it. It doesnt take tri-pots to get this, cheap stam pots or weapon power pots give this as well. Major Fortitude is blah. Other than tanks, nobody cares about health regen. Even if my health regen was 0, it wouldnt change the way I play in the slightest.

Repentance is an amazing skill. It is much better for stam management because its a burst that can be called for when needed. Anytime you need stam, there are usually coprses on the ground. It is also a wonderful heal. It takes practice to use effectively, but it its powerful and its FREE!!!

If I am healing difficult content, I typically do my opening with buffs and hots, I then put elemental drain on 4-5 things, I then hit repentance and repeat. I often find I don't even need breath of life. This is always my first go to burst heal.

A good Templar healer needs 5 skills. Elemental drain (arguably the most important skill on a healers bar), Repentence, Shards, BOL, Combat Prayer (unless both DPS are NBs). The rest is just details.

Repentance is a crutch and you need dead bodies for it to work. Radiant Aura is nice but is used differently. You use it to prevent or slow down stamina depletion. By having it up most of the time there is less need for burst renewal of resources via potions or shards. People get too set in their ways with cookie cutter Templar Healers.

Suppose also for a moment that you expect to be blocking (as in a tank). You get nothing that will save you from radiant aura except a buff to your health regeneration. Your stamina regeneration goes to 0% while blocking, thereby killing whatever STAMINA gains you'd receive from Radiant Aura. I would consider radiant aura, and in fact at one point I used it, because it allowed me to use other kinds of potions and still get the major buffs. The problem is if you expect to block, it is a moot point. All they have to fix is that one highly lame change to Tanking/Blocking and it would make skills like Radiant Aura have a reason to exist again. This issue also is a problem for Sorc Tanks as well, and I would say NB/DK although they at least have a work around for it. The other nice part about Repentance is that if you're a buzzsaw that slices through enemies like a hot knife through butter, it just tops of you off so you can keep going for more. Like I said though, I think the 0% regeneration while blocking change is what completely killed Radiant Aura from having a shot. It did for me.

I like it for PVP, I use repentance however for PVE content.

phaneub17_ESO · May 2016

If you could see your group's stamina bars you would use Repentance and actually time it to replenish everyone's pool more efficiently. I'm curious why we don't see them in the default UI.

Radiant aura is garbage compared to repentance
1) takes away regen portion from potions
2)has a cost
3 l)repentance is a free heal and free Stam filler
4) with repentance even slotted you gain more regen from that and popping a potion instead of just the radian aura regen
5) retread 1-4
