I wanna give auras

[Reanu Keeves]

I have both a mercenary and a warrior and I wanna give my party some buffs. Mainly with the Warrior, but if its possible to give at least 1 buff with the Mercenary that would be great. I use crossbow and hammers and both are lvl 80. How can I do this? Is there a skill like in PoE1 where allies in proximity get more Energy Shield or Life Regeneration or Damage? I know some scepters have an innate skill, but I don't use scepters and even so, I think PoE2 is like PoE1 in that regard and could have another way to get that, right?

Anyway, thanks in advance and any help is appreciated

Pretty sure there are banners in the spirit gem skills that buff allies and there might also be some passives in the tree that buff nearby allies too, try to use the search bar in the passive tree to look for them.

Yeah the two options are banner spirit skills or scepter skills. You could also do both but since scepter are full int and banners are str/dex, you'll have issues with high req stats in endgame.

I rather not use the banner, they only apply when planted right?

Font of rage is clunky but gives significant dmg.

Use a scepter. Good ones are kinda cheap when you're not looking for +minion gem on them.
Then as an added bonus that will make your party love you. You equip item rarity on all your slots and use Gravebind gloves.
"Enemies killed by anyone in your Presence count as being killed by you instead"

If you want to help even more, get some curses linked to Blasphemy.
"Socketed Curse Skills apply in an Aura around you"

Last thing that i'm aware of. Find a way to shock enemies. Big shocks! Make the enemies take more damage.

There are several uniques interacting with allies

There is two nodes, one buffing your and your allies accuracy rating , the other attack-speed in the merc part of the tree. Don't think there is anything else in that area, but surely somewhere else on the board.

Also, there is banners, not using them but iirc they buff allies as well, and you can also put a font support on those or a totem (ballista).

This is big actually. Forgot about it.
Leer Cast helmet is +50% damage to allies
But I think the guy I play with uses Alpha Howl. Doubles your presence radius.

Amazing... Sounds great. Will look into that

there is a attack speed node that gives 6% attack speed bonus to allies
