    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.

    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
