Both grove and life have disease counters, always have. Grove was 10 regen and 4 disease counters, Life was 30 regen and 2 disease counters; per tick. Following a farming of AMV in CoA, and most of the group died because we relied on Aura of the Grove, I looked into this further because prior to last night we were getting the Mark of Death cures accomplished with the level 55 Grove.

Well, there was a ninja swap unannounced in the 6/13 patch. Now, grove has 2 disease counters and life has 4 disease counters - per tick - and the regens have not changed. It takes 14 disease counters to cure the AMV's Mark of Death. Therefore, use Aura of Life on the AMV encounter. Oh, and the group members that didn't die to the Mark last night were cautious enough to use counteract disease potions.

Yes, I did just check the patch message; no meantion. Nice this was done, finally working as intended I guess, no thanks for no indication of the switch.

This was actually done months ago.

According to Lucy, it was done on 3 15 2006, as seen in the effect Aura of Life Cure History:

Although Lucy has the spell history listed, and I believe it was also mentioned here on the boards, SoE should have posted it in the patch message. To assume that all druids check Lucy for spell changes after every patch or to require that they do so in order to be "informed" about spell changes is dumping that responsiblity elsewhere. SoE made the spell changes and SoE should have informed the player population of such in their patch message.

Rasherre posted it on these forums at one point also iirc.

Found it in two threads; http://eq.forums.thedruidsgrove.org/showthread.php?t=13607 and http://eq.forums.thedruidsgrove.org/showthread.php?t=13480

Tried to use the forums search function before the above meantioned AMV fight that evening with no dice, however. "Grove", "Life", "Aura of the Grove", and "Aura of Life" didn't work in the search.

Should have searched just "aura".

I posted quite a bit about this and also told everyone when it was 'fixed'. Never got Sony to talk to me about it, they refused to confirm that it was fixed.

I guess they just hate me because I asked Absor directly here and all Sony devs on the Sony board and was ignored by them both times.

They are getting better with communication then they used to be but they still don't understand what it really means.

Yup, the players are to be treated like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed crap.

Sorry, guess some things are hard to search for. Or maybe the search function here isn't the best.

In any case, I hope the issue is clear now.

Yup, did the reliable search method: manual :sumo:

I was doing a search on this yesterday and finally did "thedruidsgrove.org: aura life" in Google to find this thread.

Here's a question - the spells are filed differently under the "aura" section of the "right click a spell slot" tree.

Anyone have a reason why this might be?

issue left over from beta.

So can anyone confirm that the "Aura of Life" does indeed cure the AMV death touch? Just wouldn't want to rely on it and watch my group all die. Thanks.

Also, and this might not be the proper forum for it, but does anyone know the range on Auras? 100' 200' ?

Thanks /huggles

Aura of Life does indeed cure the AMV death touch. However, you must make sure that no other effect is above it. Use resplendent cure to clear them if they are.

Aura of Life will work first on whatever is the top most detrimental buff on you, so you will die if the death touch isn't the top most one.

The range on auras sucks. It is really bad. However, it is fine for the AMV fight, assuming you have your raid force all together at the entrance, as my guild does it.
