Holy fire, holy shock, holy freeze

Any chance of making any or all of these skills, like in Diablo 2 ???
Pretty please. :smiley:

Well,

The Mage class does have Auras - default is fire but you can change it to other elements…
Acolytes have their poison aura … cannot remember others…

Diablo only had this for the Paladin and LE does have the Holy Aura for Paladins - not quite the same but close…

They just removed the Stances for the Sentinel class (which were similar to Paladin boosts) so I am not sure if they plan on adding Auras… who knows… :wink:

I asked and the response from the dev team was… cryptical. :wink:

Was it something along the lines of ā€œprobably not we want to keep Holy Aura special for the Pallyā€?

It was.

Not entirely cryptic then. They want to keep Holy Aura a special thing for Pallys plus designing interesting trees for a relatively passive skill is probably harder than normal (hence the removal of the Sentinel stances).

We could see a second meaning behind, but it’s pure speculation, I don’t want to extrapolate.
And I’m a bit biased: I like Auras, it’s a mechanism I really like, so maybe I tend to understand things in a way that suits me. :wink:

Everyone does. If you’re a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Edit: Or a spreadsheet in my case.

I would like some stuff like that too, aura with greater range and cool efffect

Yes, the Mage aura is cool; it’s like righteous fire from Path of Exile. Although, I would like the D2 version - when the holy fire, shock, freeze auto casts & strikes all the mobs on the whole screen, every couple seconds. It is a fun build in normal difficulty. Not sure how viable it is in Nightmare/Hell though. BUT FUN :smiley:
