The idea behind the 60% reservation, I believe, is forcing you into choosing only 1 percentage aura and manage the flat number auras anyway you can. Even without any "reduced mana reserved" nodes I'm betting you can run a percentage aura and a flat one from your mana pool and 2 or 3 other flat auras with BM. So essentially, if you want to make an end game Auramancer, you could probably still stack 4 or 5 auras. It's just a lot more demanding, for a build especialized in doing that, not for every single char in game be running around with 7 auras...

The mana cost for all auras except Clarity has been changed to 60% reservation.

Wow... I love everything except the aura changes. Something needed to be done. I wont argue that. But, 60% reservation is probably going to kill my Marauder.

I felt like I needed to run

Determination
Vitality
Anger

I'm glad that I don't need to also worry about running grace, and Iron Reflexes, but the other three auras were almost a necessity to survive, and kill in maps.

On top of this, what in the world do you do with something you only need 2 sockets for? One Aura + Reduced Mana? What's the point? It just isn't a sensical change.

And that doesn't even cover EB. What do you use that for now? The only thing I ever saw anyone use it for was Aura builds. Nothing else.

Reserve judgment until you see the passive tree, but yes, you will need to invest into the passives that reduce mana reservation to run multiple auras, which to me is how it should be.
