There's only one small difference between our builds and that's how I went for the last small aura circle of nodes at the bottom and you instead got the AMAZING group of weapon elemental damage nodes near the templar start that add even more damage than any of my +ele wpn dmg rings do. However I'm not sure that you will be able to run 5 auras with your mana like my marauder does you will however be able to deal much more damage. I suggest just dropping the use of purity because they are about to nerf it anyway (at least drop it when u get gear with res on it)

You're right, I don't know for sure how reserved mana is calculated exactly, so I was going with my shoddy math. Could you tell us how much mana you reserve (for example) with Wrath, preferably what it is with and without Reduced mana gem?

My understanding is as follows:

Aura (wrath) x ( 1 - mana reserved reduction - reduced mana gem reduction)= reserved amount

........0.6.......x ( 1 - ..................0.46............. - ................ 0.29 ...................)= 15% reserved

To put it simply:
60% x 25% = 15 %

You would then run 6 of default "60% auras" in gloves, boots or helm(4link with reduced mana + 3 auras) , and the default "40%" and clarity aura with a reduced mana gem in your prism guardian for less than 10% of your total life. So in theory I'm planning on running 8 auras while missing 1 of the aura nodes at the bottom left of the passive tree, while still running with 10% mana that would be mana leeched back with every attack.

Please someone correct me if my math is wrong though.

So you without the one passive would be at 49% reduced (with alphas howl) meaning:


[60 - (60*.49)].73 = 22.338%

which means unlike me who will eventually reach 20% on all my auras so i can run 5 (i run purity instead of a 60% aura right now) you wont be able to run 5x 60% auras on your mana pool alone.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion, so at best i will be able to comfortably run 6 auras total (4 60% auras and 2 other auras in the prism guardian). So probably wrath, anger, hatred, determination, grace and clarity. If not clarity then probably haste, i would need to see how much 2 x 60% gems + reduced mana gem in prism guardian will do to my life (hardcore is hardcore after all).

Edit: but probably my build can ideally support 5 after the patch, i don't know if its worth running any of the new single resistance auras.

So, using reduced mana and blood magic gems with 46% reduced mana from passives...how many auras can you people have on blood and on mana?

I have used your equation schmeelk and I got to like 3 auras on blood magic (using just clarity and the 40% auras) and 3 on mana (the 60% ones and take up to 90% mana or something). Is this correct? what are your experiences people? how many?

With the math provided by the OP, you could theoretically have a maximum of 9 auras running at the same time, but you would render your character unplayable in doing so.

Edit: 10 auras if you were to force the last one out with a blood magic gem.
