Running 5 auras is easier and more effective than ever

I only had to make a few detours on my passive tree for my super tank/block/reflect build, but it was more than worth it. Here is my passive tree and a screen shot of all 5 auras being active:

Passive Tree:

Not to mention I have 80/85/80/100 resists, 19k armour, and gain just under 800 ES when I block (Thanks to Aegis Aurora) with a 78% chance to block attacks and a 25% chance to block spells.

Screen shot of defensive stats:

Sure I might not be able to use attacks and skills/spells not linked to cast when damage taken, but I have to say it's all worth it.

Any questions? :P


EDIT: Also note; more auras now are percent based, so increased maximum mana is not as important for stacking auras.
Gear and dps?

DPS relies solely on how much damage I'm taking and how many times I'm being hit since I can't use any active skills (by choice, I chose to make the build this way).

Gear = Alpha's howl, Le Heup of All, Shav's ring, Death's Oath, Auxium, Rainbow stride, The Anvil amulet, Voidbringer, and Aurumvorax for a weapon for the resists.
6 auras are no prob if one of them is purity :-)
atm im running 5 + tempest shield.
Do you guys notice people trying to support GGG aura choice never ever post their lack of DPS?



Listen: we KNOW you can still run 5-7 auras... but that will be all you do period. So fine, if you love running groups then you'll serve a purpose - kinda. Because I'm sure others run various 1-2 auras and I'm sure you'll have stacked some of their auras... so in SOME cases you do serve a purpose being in the group with your zero DPS but in some other groups you'll serve absolutely zero purpose other than a leech.

But you know: congrats you can run 5-7 auras still?

Okay, and how would you take out necromancer rares? Statwise it is impressive, but with all that it becomes a boring wait game for mobs to hit you, and God help you if you run in a necromancer filled map with no real damage skills or dps. Clearing maps would take even more than a low life mf sporker.

I tried an anvil build myself but I guess it wasn't for me. It wasn't too fun after a while.

Tempest shield skills off stuff pretty quickly and even then I have Death's Oath which does 450 chaos damage per second to nearby enemies. And it helps quite a bit.

So basically you made a useless character?

I wonder how long it would take you to actually kill a boss lets say like dominus?


Probably 1 hour i suppose...

After dying multiple times I kill him in around 10 minutes or so.

Either way I can afk during his minions attacking me and kill them without clicking once.
