Aura Reservation and Reduced Mana Support Gem Change

From what I can tell from watching streams and reading other posts about skill changes; is that A LOT of skills are getting buffs and the such so that having to run a ton of auras will throw the balance off the skills by a lot. Especially since they changed shotgunning, auras had to be changed. I saw Ziggy running the new split arrow with 5 auras and it was insanely strong. So because of the skill changes and the EB changes, they had to nerf the amount of Auras so that they don't break the game. People calm down, with Jewels and other changes, I don't think damage will be an issue. Most builds will possibly survive with running 2-3 auras instead of 4-5.

Now they need to fix the new EB, that's the real issue.

What I mean is that you could say run 1 defensive or offensive 50% aura and then say a clarity and a herald. You're upset because you're used to the old system, I'm sure there will be jewels where you could bypass the need for the cast/attack speed of haste (yeah move speed will hurt but you can run vaal haste). I'm just saying you'll adjust to the new system since damage is being buffed across the board and thus the need to nerf auras so that the game won't be as much faceroll as it is non-beta.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or just failed grade 3 maths, but 10% of zero experience is still zero experience. A corrupted enlighten will not gain experience.


The literal effect of this change is that you require ZERO investment to run two auras and massive investment to run 3 or more - approximately 80% more points than you used to need depending on how close your build runs to a third aura cluster.

It's a really badly thought out change, there is no question about it. Even without the enlighten aspect, it means that in the new meta, cluster nodes won't get touched at all in 80% or more of builds. Where you used to be able to put in a moderate investment for a moderate return on auras, you now can't. That option is gone.

this certainly appears to be gaining xp

Or, it was corrupted with that amount of xp on it.
