Beast gauge aura is bad and should change

Pretty self-explanatory. It looks bad. It's just a cylinder with a low quality aetheric flame effect gif playing on loop. I would like to see it improved to be a much more subtle red flame effect on the character itself rather than a glowing circle around you. I would also like the option of being able to turn it off entirely. The gameplay purpose the effect serves is to remind you that you have beast gauge points you can use on abilities but I'm willing to bet very few WAR players miss that fact regardless, since that's the main thing you're focused on at all times.

It's also kind of annoying that it remains even after combat is over. Still, whether the effect itself is changed or not, there's absolutely no reason for it to be active before you get to 50 points, since no ability costs less than that to use. Why am I standing here glowing at 20 points? It doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever.

It's been an issue ever since it changed from a buff that would expire naturally to the gauge which never expires.
Give the the BLM treatment and let things expire if you wanna have a glowy aura around us.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the aura to be attached to Storm's Eye than "you have points in the beast gauge"

Absolutely, that would actually be useful and make sense as a way of indicating that you've powered up and are doing more damage.

Still better than DRK's stinklines but I kinda aggree

Or make it so that you have the aura only when at 100 Gauge.
A glowing supersaiyan WAR running around is like a Ninja with a bunny on the head then.

I like it as is.
