No reason to argue with a person that thinks Determination is a wasted aura on "casters" since you obviously have no fucking idea how to maximize survivability on said characters.

Let alone that I wished you good luck to fit in another aura like Determination. You come up with it being impossible to buff it on life, something that was never topic of the conversation let alone doubted.

Pretty sure theres a reason youre using different accounts for playing the game and posting on the forums.

What you need as a Sporker is Discipline, Purity, Grace and Haste and youre set. You can easily pull that off even with a BM gem.

YOU said this, just REMINDING YOU. And you are wrong, you would die even with max reduced mana gem (obviously you want to reserve them off life, otherwise why mention bm gem? duh)

PS: Why did this become a HC vs SC conv before? lmao

Determination is useless on a caster, get it through your thick skull. We dont even need to run the math vs an average hit, but lets run it vs some bigger ones

IF you have 10000 armor with granite and grace on

10k vs 1k hit / 3k hit --> 550/2370 for 45/21% reduction
With aura on: 15k vs 1k hit / 3k hit --> 450/2130 for 55/29% reduction

Marginal reduction, especially not worth it on an ES character with huge pool and VP (CI). Keep in mind those are rare big hits, you probably have vaal pact or enough leech/second (CI / LL) to cover it up if you do eat one or two, and you are better closing up the gap with endurance charges since they give even more physical resist than all that armor for a massive 40% reservation. (ie NOT worth it on anything but a tank with lots of BASE armor)

ALSO: not a lowlife build? easy - there are reduced reservation nodes in the tree that amount to 20%

Conclusion: Look who doesnt know anything now and needs a lecture. wadda baby, Q_Q ... and L2P!

Yeah, determination is giving so much effective % physical reduction to a caster lol. Its the biggest waste of a reserve ever on anything but a real tank. And no, you cant run 2x 40% auras (purity / haste) on life with bm gem, even with reduced mana gem. lol do the math its 111% - dead. And thats without grace and discipline

Secondly, the real issue at hand is some reservations are too huge, what this means is (a) if anything, ask the devs to lower them instead of crying to keep an OBVIOUS glitch (you knew it and I knew it and everyone and their mother knew it, was your own risk still running such a build knowing someday it could change) (b) it was never meant for so much % auras to be run simultaneously anyway

tl;dr; Q_Q

tl;dr you have no fucking idea how a OS/HC character is build to work properly in end game content let alone that your reading comprehension is utterly pathetic.

And how would you? Youre probably a person who wants "balance in standard", a league none of the developers should give jackshit about because you can play whatever the hell you want anyway.

NICE comeback! Totally no rage and full of facts loooooooooooooooooool ... how dare you defend such an obvious exploit? insane

We need less people like you in this game, and if destroying bugs and exploits means it drives all of you away, then I am more than glad and vouch 100% for it!

Just adding: You swap weapons in WoW you start the "global cooldown" which costs you tons of time which you could've used to cast more heals etc - it's not a FREE HUGE boost to your character with 1 itemswap...

Why would you balance around Standard? A league in which is doesnt matter what you play since being a skilled player will even make it possible for you to go full glasscanon.

Hardcore/Onslaught are the only leagues that should be balanced around because they disable a shitton of builds by default due to them actually punishing your for fucking up.
