As a tank, I can tell you that Shadow flare's 5% slow debuff is completely worthless and has no effect on the amount of damage I take.Also, please don't forget Swift Cast + Shadow Flare anytime you can. Especially on trash mob!!!! Cleric Stand or not!!!! Do under estimate the power of 30 seconds AOE slow debuff with no diminishing return, it's a god send! The slow will not work on bosses, so use it as you see fit.

I'm sorry to hear your opposing opinion... To you it may not mean much, but to me, it's a lot more efficient way to manage my Aetherflow Stacks, I rather not waste my 1 stack on Sacred Soil and then another stack on Bane.
And i'm sure you are just talking about the Slow status, but that post is a little misleading to newer members in our community. People could take it as "Do not use Shadow Flare"
I just want to clarify that Shadow Flare is also a 30 seconds DoT, 25 potency per tick (total potency of 250 per mob). and if you have 3 mobs that's a total potency of 750 over the course of 30 seconds. With out a damage drop off as long as the mob stay within the AOE. Unlicke Bane, it has a 50% damage reduction on the 4th mob and beyond
