[2.1] Hexaura Pentacurse Slammer: cheap support build with 6 auras / 5 curses ground slam

CONCEPT
This build purpose is to aid party members in combat by providing them with 6 buffed auras, and quickly put 5 curses on large packs of monsters. In 2.0 it also uses Abyssal Cry to aggro, slow and damage the enemies.
It uses 2 ground slams mapped on 2 different hotkeys, one with 3 curses, one with 2 curses.
Basically, you move in front of your party line, preceding them in exploration, and then, when you are in melee in front of one or more monsters, you quickly slam them 2 times, one for each ground slam, and shout your abyssal cry. Then, you quickly go back to your party to aid them with your auras, and watch them as they destroy the penta-cursed, abyssal-cried mobs, aided by your hexaura presence.

PROS
Spoiler
[2.0] 4 jewel slots
relatively cheap
good survivability
always welcome in parties
build complete at lvl 80
you can penta-curse large packs in the blink of an eye
no need to search for expensive rolls in rares, since all of your eq is unique items (except for the gloves, amulet and the belt)
no mana issues


CONS
Spoiler
you MUST be in party, since you can't do damage by yourself
you aggro a lot (not a real problem since you have good survivability and can run away after cursing)
may be difficult to level if you don't have a full reset on a 60-65 level witch
