They cast a short-duration bubble that protects all allies within it form daamge that originates outside the bubble, as you noted.

They also have a delayed blast spell that marks an area of ground, then shortly afterwards deals physical spell damage in an AoE at that point. I believe the damage is quite good because the player is given warning and a chance to get out of the way by the ground being marked before it goes off, but I don't work in balance.

Interesting. I found that the zombies were suffering a lot from magic Evangelist in maps... Strange with the elemental resistances they have ! But its physical damage... I understand now.


Those spectres need to be investigated in.

INTERESTING UPDATE!

purity, vitality, discipline(this thing gives you more mana than it reserves?), clarity, grace

Some numbers to give an idea (passive nodes+lvl 20 reduced mana), no alpha howl :
- 60% aura --> 25%
- 40% aura --> 17%
- lvl 20 clarity --> 185 mana reserved

Bonus effect :
- Haste (lvl 15) : +27% cast/attack speed and +15% run speed
- Purity (lvl 20) : +52% all resistances and +3% max resist

Thank you, saved me the trouble of calculating this myself.

so,

purity 17% + vitality 25% + grace 25% = 67%

Assuming your have 2k mana:

25% of 2k is 500 mana, your es and mana nodes with discipline must total more than 500 mana to get a positive return allowing you to cast this aura for free. than you use clarity for massive mana regen for a level 20 artic armor.

orrr

you can run 3 60% auras + purity and have 92% of your mana left over

Can't believe that a build like this is possible as a templar Well, more or less.

Thank you for great inspiration and advice!


Not taking Mind over Matter since I got this dropped for me today

Just need to 5L it.

Just need to get Alpha's Holw now, although...not sure if losing +2 to minion gems is too big of a price to pay. Also hope I didn't sacrifice too much health.

Could you please post your gear and gem setup and play style?

Hi Matt, have you killed Dominus with your new setup? Leveling a new scionmancer in Domination and his elemental/phys maelstrom makes Piety look like a breeze for summoners.

My gear is pretty subpar, only things of note are 40% health chober. And recently bought ok ammy .

Play style, hmmm...like to watch my summons kill stuff while laughing manically. Don't like to hide, which got me killed many many many times before I got tired of it and read up on guids and found first a great spectre guide and them matts guide of how not to die (this one).




P.S. With the new auras Animate Guardian might become pretty strong, just get him large % increased armor stuff and use buffed up determination. I wonder how good of tank one could make it to be.

Thank you. Good info. I need to gather 22 regrets for this so many currencies down the drain lmao.

I don't plan to use alpha howl(I sold mine anyways)

For the aegis You need to reserve your aura on life thou. Gems in this item is blood magic.

Yeah, but its honestly a small price to pay. Not sure what max Clarity is, but if its something like 500 mana reserved, that costs only 45 HP. Purity with a 4k life pool would cost you 360 HP. Very reasonable costs, especially when you consider the buffs auras recieved (and it leaves your precious mana pool for more auras, not to mention that their getting +2 skill levels). If you felt manly, 60% auras would cost you 520 HP from a 4k life pool.

After looking at it, Alphas Howl would only net you 1 more aura at the cost of your ENTIRE mana pool, so its probably not worth it (Best case being 3x60% auras in helm, 1x 60% and 1x 40% in gear).

Edit: Also, some more important information (especially more relevant come Monday when the bug is fixed).

You can increase your aura effects on you + minions/players by 78%. So in the case of a level 20 purity, it goes from 27 all res +2 max res to 48.06 all res + 3.56 max res (Max resist gets rounded down to +3).

Using the new Holy Strength Node + Inner Force nodes you can reach 102% more self only benefit, so with the previous purity example its now 54.54 all res and +4 max res.

So if you were wondering if aura nodes were worth it, they easily DOUBLE for you if you grab all of them + Inner Force / Holy Strength.

plus if you have a broken legacy Shavs you can go low life with 3x60% auras on a prism, easily

Passives are missing

working on my passive tree atm.
