Doesn't matter anymore.

Old rumor said that it didn't work in AB. Has that been fixed? Has it been fixed so that it's less efficient? Is there an MM in the Temple?

Got called a haxxor today in AB because i turned a full 10 minions against an MM. I actually laughed out loud. Like, loud.
I'm running a Toxic chill N/A build with only Aura thrown in as an MM skill. Almost all the minions die before you need to reapply aura, so no worries.

No it doesn't work properly.
After some tests, I've figured this has to do with the minion limit: if you have some minions with you, and attempt to steal other necro's ones, Verata's aura will fail as your minion limit will be exceeded (ending in 15 energy wasted for nothing as no minion at all will be stolen, even if say you had 4 minions your ennemy 7, you will stay with your 4 minions).
I'm not sure this is the true answer, and I would be happy if some other people could do the test: bring verata's in your MM bar, and try to steal minions when you have a lot of minions yourself.

I love swiping a load of carefully raised high level minions during a mob fight in AB. Since I usually run SS/incid with 5 Death and Aura thrown in for fun. I've been accused of hacking the game by clueless MM that I do this to. I love the sound of the scream of a MM killed by his own minions because his applied dark bond is now useless.
