Aura skills

#1 Post by Canderel »

No idea if any of these types of skills exists, but an aura, like the paladin in Diablo 2... Especially if we can add funky 3d effects to it would be cool.

Like armor reduction aura, or a faction damage increase aura, or just a plain damage aura, or regen aura, or to hit increase aura (or to hit decrease aura)... Elemental damage auras... Anyway, obviously the list goes on... :-)

Obviously positive buff auras gets better if you actually have allies...

Haven't managed to unlock 'em yet (game crashed right before I headed back to finish the quest needed to unlock them. Raeg.), but don't the new pallies have basically aura talents? 'Least they've got sustainables that they can only manage one at a time, etc. Though they're not called auras, per se, now that I check the lua. Dunno if there's negative effect-nearby-critters abilities. That might be interesting, though I vaguely shudder at what it might do to the game's resource consumption.

I guess quite a few of the sustainables (Blade's hands, ferex) could be fulfilling a functionally similar position... still, a sustainable mass-debuff sounds pretty bloody awesome.

There are aura-ilke talents for the paladin.

Ah... so can we add a cool effect to show the radius? :-)
