and side effect is tons of mana regen. Less points spent on mana management can be spent else where. Infact I only have two +40% mana regen nodes, both just 0-2 points away from main skill tree. I have over 100 mana/sec at lvl 65 and almost no need for mana potions.

The good thing about aura stacking is this.

1.diciplane- gives you even more mana.
2.clarity- gives you even more mana regen.
3.purity= gives you very high resist+max resist to the point that you dont need much gears.
4.Hatred adds significant amount of dps to your character
5.Haste= adds a good amount of attack speed/cast speed
6.determination= adds good amount of armor.
7.grace= if used with iron reflex and determination you can have up to 11k+ armor.

and you can get inner force to have boost in those effects.

you just neeed eb and inner force for that, and rest of points can be spent mostly on passives like HP.

it is well worth it.

I should of phrased my statement better.

I should of just said EB is used for aura stacking mainly. With the added benefit of increasing your mana regeneration.

When i wrote that i was thinking more about someone who got EB but decided not to use a single aura, then that would be a complete waste.

sorry, this was one of the first posts google gave out, didn't check the date
