    Does anyone use Fluid Aura anymore?

    I'm debating whether I should just take it off my hotkey bar. So far, I had no use for it in the Wanderer's Palace or Amdapor. It was interesting at first but nowadays, I just run towards the tank whenever I'm aggroed. Will this ever have a use in like, Coil or something?

    I use it whenever I can if it doesn't inconvenience me. If I put myself in danger just to set off fluid aura, it's not worth it.
    But I find it becomes especially helpful for times such as Titan HM when someone's granited; having an off GCD attack like that, although weak, can be something. In a Titan run I did today to test my connections, all the DPS died when the Bard's granite tombstone had about a sliver of health left; Fluid Aura is what busted him out which then helped proceed to a near victory (beats an much early death.)

    I've not found a use for it in coil yet, but if ever an enemy comes close to me - especially a boss, I flick it in the nose with a water bubble because why not.

    That skill is obnoxious to tanks....at least it is to me. nothing I hate more than going to pull a mob off of something and them getting a huge knock back so I then have to find them again (if I hadn't gotten them targeted) and re-engage. I don't use it on my WHM only because I'd rather either stay put let the tank use his abilities to pull him from me or go stand next to the tank. Standing next to the tank though can be really dangrous due to AoE's and such.

    Just my opinion.

    still use it for fun occasionally, wont really change the course of a fight..

    ak boss1 if a marionette comes and i dont wanna pop SoS
    demonwall to interupt a bee from casting an aoe
    gargoyles on final boss if the dps are slow at it, sometimes they wont even stop attacking the boss so i push the gargoyle at them

    mainly though just at the end of a pack of trash i play "try and steal the last hit" cos its fun watching a dead mob get pushed across the room

    You sound like me. xD

    But yeah I still have uses for it. Just did a WP run last night and it wasn't so great... tank couldn't hold aggro, Fluid Aura=2 mobs on me instead of 3. :P

    I mostly heal with pocket tanks, so sometimes I use it to harass them (in good fun they do it back to me when I tank for them ), but it's also useful to knock something back then sleep it if a sleepable target comes at me.

    Depending on positioning I also use it to knock stuff back to the tank, though that rarely works as intended.

    Lol The dead mob flying across the room is my partner's favourite hobby in our low level dungeons.

    The primary use for fluid aura for me is in conjunction with sleep. If I sleep a target 3 times they will resist the fourth, but If I fluid aura them away and let the root stick for 5 seconds, the next sleep gets the full 30 second duration.

    I use it soloing.. I guess that means not at all since I don't solo at 50.

    I use Fluid Aura to expose silly DPS who don't attack the tank's target.

    If they're attacking the wrong target, I use Fluid Aura to push it way away from the pack and see if they run to it.

    I've had hilarious reactions to this.
