This made me a bit curious, so I had to look it up :) Apparently it is intended – area auras are supposed to be suppressed when the target is afflicted by banish or cyclone. In this case, the aura is turned off. This also applies to other auras (including hunters).

Q u o t e:
From what you say, i follow reluctantly that cyclone can supress an aura as it can supress a players movement and actions...but much like when a player comes out of cyclone they get their movement and actions back...so why not aura?

Fine it doesnt effect the party when the paladin is cycloned, but right after cyclone dissapears the aura should become effective again.

That is a very valid point.

Q u o t e:
Yeah, should definatly be restored after it faded...

From the Test Realm Patch Notes:

Q u o t e:
When the duration of "Cyclone" ends, area buffs such as "Leader of the Pack", "Tree of Life", and "Moonkin" will now be correctly resumed.

Funnily enough it aint working for Paladin Aura's, so your point being is?

Ommra's foot, meet Ommra's mouth.

Well I thought it did :(

Can you please stop calling each other retards, if some of you keep your nasty tone of voice I will have to lock the thread.

Not your fault, no worries.

TBH the PTR patch notes were a bit omnious in that they only mentioned Druid buffs as examples even if the note itself seems to imply that all auras should be restored when the Cyclone effect ends.

It's possible it's a bug and the Paladin Auras are supposed to be restored as well, I suppose we'll know soon enough.

I'll try to find out.

Ok, so I did. It's not very exciting though:

Cyclone simply turns off the aura initially, and reapplying is the only way to turn it back on. That is intended.

Q u o t e:
Thanks for finding it out, but isn't that a little irritating for us paladins? It means we have to go through yet another global cooldown and in PvP every second counts.

A bit annoying, yes, but I'm sure you can manage. Druids probably cast some other spells than Cyclone every once in a while I hope :)
