It seems i found my recent favourite style - aura builds.
I got judgement aura paladin, blinding light (before nerf) paladin, now working fire aura+firebrand spellblade.
Are there any other fun aura skills to try? Toggle or always on aura (like blinding light) would be best. Just running and killing stuff without stopping to use skills seems to appeal to me at the moment.
Thanks for suggestions.
[EDIT]
I’m not looking for specific builds/guides, just for generic suggestions, like “judgement with aura node” or stack fire aura or X skill with Y item, etc.
There’s only Aura of Decay left, that I recall. I know that it can get strong enough to kill trash mobs in echoes, but you usually need another skill for champions/bosses/etc.
Although I haven’t tested it yet since they reworked it last season, so maybe it’s better now.
There’s also the Thicket chest, if you want to consider its effect as a reflect aura. It’s been heavily nerfed this season (rightfully so, since it was very OP) but I’ve seen players say it’s still playable.
I have thicket of blinding light already. It was OP, but it worked great. It’s not the same after nerfs though. I looked at aura of decay, but haven’t played it much yet. Necro isn’t my thing. Maybe i will work on fire conversion with warlock, but i still don’t like necro theme.
Now i remember there is also primalist’s maelstrom, but i haven’t made it work for me yet.
I don’t think you can maintain a relevant number of maelstrom stacks without using skills, though. Or at least manually casting it regularly. So it doesn’t work like an aura, exactly.
Maelstrom is hard. I only use it for Storm Bolts or minion +damage with Yulias Path.
Aura of Decay I feel doesn’t make much difference in damage, but the Lich form is good for resisting damage.
Then you have the Witchfire build, but that is also Acolyte.
Void Knight Devouring Orb can fit your wish here. Don’t know how good damage that is, though.
That feels hard. Maelstrom itself has when you kill you can summon a Maelstrom, but then you have to start somewhere.
