Any other aura that works like Veil of Shadow + Night's Chill ?

[probo_]

I have been experimenting and testing abilities from different classes, and was pleasantly surprised when I came across Veil of Shadow + Night's Chill, it's a constant damage dealing aura around my character. I was wondering if there are any other abilities with similar mechanics in the game that I might have missed. Thanks in advance!

Aura of Censure inquisitor, and sorta Celestial Presence(oathkeeper) tho that requries "pets" to be out, and vindictive flame demolitionist

should probably be noted that while aura builds can/do sorta work, on their own they are gonna be a slog on hard targets/bosses - they will clear trash and kill heroes while kiting like nuclear fallout np tho

Maybe Flame Touched as well, but that seems to be it.

you can also get some from abilities on items which you can add to your build. Seal of blades component gives you a small pierce/ bleeding aura, the rare helmet horns of ekket'zul gives an aura of fire damage, I'm pretty sure there are more but I havent used too many others recently.

Flame Touched doesn't actually do aura dmg like the others, + the wording is a bit misleading, the buff itself doesn't "retaliate" against attacks either, it just gives you %retal bonus - which is then only useful if you already have flat retal dmg, and ofc are being hit
^otherwise flametouched is just a passive buff to your own attack dmg

Yeah, I wasn't sure if it did or not.

Auras are secondary things; they usually won't kill stuff on their own. But they can add significant damage. I will add a few things, from artifacts, that sort of act like auras.

My infiltrator always has two Blade Spirits in effect; these are not pets and scale with player damage. He also has a double strength Whirling Blades surrounding him, one from each sword, due to the Seal of Blades he has on each weapon. That's an awful lot of swords impaling any foe that comes near.

My Purifier has the equivalent of 3 auras. Aura of Censure, Entropic Presence (from the Avatar of Chaos) and Ring of Everlasting Flame from the Horns of ekkat'Zul. Again, any enemy that gets too close gets a triple fire and chaos whammy.

Edit: Bah, Yojimbo beat me to it about the Horns and Seal. He missed Blade Spirit and Entropic Presence, though.

kinda makes me wonder why they haven't changed the wording a bit on Flame Touched, i remember seeing it be mentioned before that some wasn't quite sure what it did (not that it's an unique "feature" for just flame touched description )
