Maybe OP should reroll to SM/BO. Most OP tanks.

It's a buff to the mechanic, because it allows you to instantly swap out to another aura. If you'd tried this using the old system you would have been blocked for between 0 and 4.5 seconds because of your constant twisting.

The mechanic doesn't encourage mixing up aura usage, but to be frank, it's already too rewarding. I'm really, really iffy about making this mechanic any better than it already is.

but in old system the buff would still linger for 12 seconds after turning it off. now it turns off instantly and you stuck 4.5 untill you can aply a new buff. if you think its to powerfull in combat, you may wanna make it 4.5 cooldown when in combat and 0 when out of combat. (if possible).

i dont want this as a "make aura better swappable/buff aura mechanic" for me its just a qol problem.

Aura are bugged you cant be buffed whit your 3 auras all time. On mechanic when you swap 1 aura you can be buffed from the last one by 5 sec so easy for chosen and KOBS to buff all peeps whit constant auras up and this issue can make some class op buff str buff tough buff resist ... Need to be fixed

No, this isn't a bug. It works this way deliberately and has done ever since the combat rework at level 12.

i don't get the problem, aura alredy are permanent, even when swap zone (thx for fix ), you no longer have to re spam them in sc in those ( yes they are most of time ) 30 sec at the start.

when farming you use dmg aur, reflect aur, heal aur. you mostly never use them in sc. so you change them every sc and every after sc. its just a qol issue as i said. and again your argument would count for ANY buff but none has a cooldown on turning a buff off. (e.g. a runepriest can change buff whenever he wants without cooldown).

and yes making aura permament was a big qol improvement no doubt.

I support this. I like the QoL change with constant auras which makes playing KotBS/Chosen much more comfortable, but i don't see much of a problem in changing auras between scs and pve once per going in/out - if we consider overall power and simple use of this mechanic compared to other tanks.

No sense auras faided with a ratio of 1x every 4.5 sec so it's totaly normal that you need 4.5 sec to active a new one, you simply get 4.5 sec after you remove one instead before active a new one. ANd this make totally sense due the fact that they are permanent now.
Also you just need 2 cos you can use the 3rd to dismout so if you came from pve you have all the time you need, while if you came from rvr you alredy have those setted.

It would had been better ask to increase the waiting time of 40 sec rather than a aura change imo
