Yes, I know that the radiant servant's aura is more or less the same as those other two auras, but the problem is that all three of them are garbage lol. I also use it like this, but it cannot be said that they are very useful. In any case, it is what it is *shrugs*
Many SLAs have had issues with being unable to camera-direction target, or ground target. I suspect you are correct in this case.
Let us know which SLAs have that issue and we can take a look!
Not sure if any have been fixed since I last tested, but Holy fireball and Sunbolt are the 2 i can think of off the top of my head. I beleive some of the savant sla were not working last time i tried them as well.
I have a different perspective (based on playstyle). I love the auras for Cleric. You have enough defenses to be able to stand in range just behind the melees who will also benefit from constant buffs of prayer, enflame, consecration (crusade) and occasional implaccable foe. Clerics also have to be in range for melees to benefit from their domain buff when they use turn undead. That extra +40 PRR/MRR to every melee is really nice.
As far as I know, all of them. Projectile slas that can be fired without a target ignore your z-axis aiming and fire directly in front of you even if your camera is facing the ground or the sky.
A further thought towards this ? multiselector idea:
The functional difference is that the spellbook version could be massively exploited.
Decreasing cooldown is not an exploit. We already do it with banshee and nothing happens.
I'm not talking about reducing cooldowns. I'm talking about an actual genuine no kidding exploit. I can't discuss WHAT that exploit is, because forum rules. But yes, huge massive exploit.
ok, then fix the exploit, and leave the spell alone. It's ridiculous that this game can't have an iconic spell in the pnp game and that is functionally like a banshee. That doesn't say much for the quality of the code lol.
A big reason for the change is that no other Destiny ability required pure or nearly-pure classes to use - originally in the ED designs we leaned way harder on Spellbook Modification, and Weird was the last little bit of that. In practice, however, it punished multiclasses and made some variant builds harder to explore than they should be. In that respect, making it a SLA makes it easier for all characters to use.
Between DDO's spaghetti code and the nature of the exploit, I doubt that it is possible to do a direct fix. Turning it into an SLA is the only recourse.
I think you underestimate the competence of the devs. It's pretty incredible to think that they can't code a weird spell.
