Worth a Shot!
NOTE: This suggestion DOES NOT include Include Aura of Arcane Clarity and Aura or Primal Majesty for a good reason
For those who aren't aware, Telepathy has a Unique Hybrid Passive called Congress of Selves, This passive allows it to be used in DPS, Tank and Support roles without limitation! It's the only Unique passive in the game with this attribute.
Now the recent Sorcery Aura change's plan is to retire PRESENCE-Exlusive-scaling on Sorcery auras for Support and make those auras only benefit the user and not allies in HYBRID role (The changes are now reverted back to normal until further revisit)
What Would I want to do is take this a chance to expand the Sorcery Passives' potential
Why not just use those passives in Hybrid Role
Think of the Possibilities and Build Theme flexibilities of making those two auras in DPS and Tanks respectively!
You can make DPS-Healers and DPS-Tanks much easier, take good advantage of the Multi Freeform Build and Change your role!
Sorcery nows gets a new DPS and Tanking passive and it's able to have it's own Tanking System
If those passives cannot be converted into Hybrid Passives the other option, or you are afraid the PowerCreep DPS who use AOED and switch on Support role to boost their allies for free, sacrificing their personal DPS doing so
Then there is a second option, just make two new DPS and TANK passives which are just copy of them and can only be used in their respective roles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Support system in CO is Already very boring and the game Punish you for trying to be a DPS-Healer hybrid
I know it's stupid suggestion, I just want more Interesting FF builds which are viable for Endgame

- Aura of Ebon Destruction can be slotted in DPS role
With AOED Now you also have another option for DPS Passive for Builds who use multi-powerframes damage! For example my Warlock DPS use Fire-Darkness-Magic and my Elementalist user Fire-Ice-Electricity-Crushing damage! No passive allows Boost for those particular combo of damage types! (except Storm Bringer for Elementalist, but sacrifices the Fire part which is important) So what the options for those Builds? Use either Quarry, which mostly flavours Physical Damage) or Night Warrior who boost all Ranged Damage types equally
Only Melee has a big amount of Flexibility with Passives which boost all Melee damage, now if only we had actual Elemental Melee Powers as well! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
AOED's system is that you have all damage bonus equally and when you critical hit you get additional magic damage
I remember seeing Theme builds in forums while trying to find Elementalists using AOED as All-damage passive
- Aura of Radiant Protection can be slotted in TANK role
Believe it or not there is (or was) a Niche Theme build for Paladins who would use Radiant Protection in Hybrid Role and try tanking with it, Now this kind of build is kind of obsolete with the current Endgame Meta and optimization!
This also brings a New TANK passive to the table, more tanking options
Note: The only issue I find with this is the long running bug of AORP from hybrid roles combined with AORP from Support roles causing Block to stop working. Which something tells me the Sorcery change was also made in order to fix this bug as mell 🤔
Why not just use those passives in Hybrid Role
- Hybrid is Gross for endgame (with the exception of Tanks in Hybrids)
- DPS in Hybrid role is a walking Contradiction
- And the ATs stuck in Hybrid role always suffer

To add a bit to it, all auras (and Medical Nanites):
-they could go in all roles;
-the baseline value scales with SS;
-the team part does not scale with SS but is a fixed % of the baseline value.
>Hybrid Role (preserves team functionality of the auras, focus on personal return):
Aura personal component is 100% (baseline value that scales with SS).
Aura team component is 20-25% (or something similar) of the baseline value.
>Rng/Melee DMG role (lose team component and add dmg):
Aura personal component is 100%.
You get an additional Damage (melee/ranged) from the passive (lower than most passives, 20% or similar).
Aura team component is 0% of the baseline value.
>Tank Role (lose team component and add dmg res):
Aura personal component is 100%.
You get an additional Damage Resistance from the passive (lower than most passives, 20% or similar).
Aura team component is 0% of the baseline value.
>Support Role (focus on sharing the aura):
Aura personal component is 50% of the baseline value.
Aura team component is 100% of the baseline value.

But in general, even if you keep them as they are I think that removing the PRE scaling aspect would be a good idea to add more diversity to builds...

> Now that they started to screw the sorcery auras then right, let screw them even further and kick completely the support part and make these auras as dps or tank passives. Well anything except support !
Don't get me wrong, I want auras for support characters more than anyone else. I've been watching the potential aura changes and I want to make sure support role still gets what it deserves.
However, from the hybrid point of view, I think it would make more sense to have the auras work in other roles to function as a more efficient version of the proposed hybrid auras. But not suggesting any changes to support here, just additional options for non-supports.
So let be clear what it means.
From now on, the default behavior of AoAC will be : zero team bonus, no aura.
Secondly, it'll be impossible to stat-check the scaling of AoAC anymore. We'll have absolute numbers in Support Role that can't be compared and checked in a different role.
Absolute numbers are falsified facts.
This change will falsify AoAC as a support passive.
The numbers are actually the opposite : 77% before, 22% after.
It doesn't add any diversity. A contrario, it removes all diversity of sorcery auras in Hybrid role.
Well the changes in the PTS were horrible in nubers, we all agree on that.
But what the OP suggested (and I seconded) was something completely different (Monthy Phyton jokes aside).

But if you like out-of-context suggestions that can never happen, I'm sure I can suggest you a dozen of fun, nice and awesome stuff !
2. You just described the Suggestions Box, the Graveyard of Ideas and What If Scenarios
3. It's just a Suggestion, not the 100% Next power update and I doubt Kaiserin will take this seriously
