Auradin in 1.13?

Hello,

I was thinking about trying a Torchadin or Auradin but I remember I read in 1.13 notes that they fixed something with aura stacks. Are these builds with double dragon, double dream, HoJ and similar still viable?

Regards|||i think they fixed the bugging part|||a PvP Auradin, even with the icky cheese buggy stack crap, has only ever been effective against the unprepared.

as soon as they can stack out your conviction and add in just a touch of integer 'sorb, Auradins are useless.|||Quote:

that is absolutely NOT true.

While stacked out conv and stacked res + sorb is indeed a valid strategy, it does not stop a good Auradin.

BTW, stacked out conv and stacked res + sorb rules out all elemental characters, but not a good Auradin.

what is a good Auradin? one that does not rely solely on their aura, but on charge as well. If I remember correctly, my Auradin did between 5-9K charge damage. Enough to keep on going if you are being "sorbed". any Fireballer, blizz or foher can pack up and go home when being sorbed, but auradin atleast can have a physical attack backup in the form of charge.

setup:

COA + BERBER

HOZ zerker

Dragon armor

Dragon 45@ shield

Bloodfist

Treks

Mara

Double raven or single raven + sorb ring (wisp)

Verdungos

dont use Holy shield (charge bug), but invest some into Blessed aim to get higher AR.

this will get enough FHR and 46%DR, together with just enough resists. fill inv with 5% res all charms and/or life ones and you are good to go.|||you do realise holy fire adds FIRE damage to your charge right? which is also resist-able and sorb-able? and you do lousy physical damage with your hoz zerker? and without enig, you have not many points to pump in vita? and you have no holy shield, so no mb no fbr?

you said any fireballer, blizz or foher can pack up and go home if they get sorbed. let's get real. so does an auradin. it doesn't matter if you can hit them over the head with a twig.|||Quote:

without eni? Do you have ANY idea how much extra str you get with this setup? I only used 9 points into STR.

25 base

5 mara

20 anni

20 torch

40 dragon

40 dragon

15 treks

165+9=174

whacking with a twig is always better than crying of Sorb and needing to S+E.

Meh, who am I arguing to? it will always be B is better than Z, etc..

I just think it IS a viable PvP build, and original as well. You decide if you play it or not.
