Mages get really screwed getting abs spots that don't line up well with their class, and there's always times people get a location that bewilders them and they can never find it, especially for newer players.

I say just give every mage class two locations for aura, shield, and barrier from now on instead of one. They will have a much better chance at finding their spots and it would be more readily available for all mages because we all know full abs at hero is necessary most of the time.

This would be the easiest thing to code of all suggestions and our mages would have abs more often. And it would keep in tact the whole abs system you guys have worked so hard on and still keep the exploration factor that I think is necessary to balance it. Overall I think abs isn't overpowered one bit, and this solution is far from giving all mages abs on a stick. I'd be totally happy with this scenario.
