Max number of aura's reasonably possible

this came from a post i made in the templar thread regarding a "support templar" i am making

the idea and question is, whats the best way to max out the number of aura's you can carry

My question to all of you is, how many aura's do you run and how do you do it? Also, did i do this math right?

Would you know how the Reduce reservation (from passives or items) works with auras that reserve a flat percentage of your total?


Missed this sorry. Before i explain, i will precise with the request that someone check my math for me.

From the wiki


Theoretical Maximum Reduction

If you get all of the Reduced Mana Reservation passives and use a level 20 Reduced Mana.
Purity 40% (original cost)
4 x Reduced Mana Reservation -20% (of 40%) is 32%
Reduced Mana (level 20) -29% (of 32%) is 22.72%
Final Cost 22.72% (%43.2 reduction)


I would plan on running: (assuming maxed level)
Anger, Wrath, Clarity, Grace, Discipline(needed to stack with eldrich battery)

3/4 of these (40% auaras):
Purity (must have for ele resist)
Determination (must have for armor)
Haste (I would probably run this as the third)
Vitality (I would probably let someone else in the group get this if it is needed/ wanted but i might depending on situation)

Hatred is the only aura i wouldn't bother with thinking someone else will probably get it.

Math for % aura's i would be running:

I'll get half of the Reduced Mana Reservation passives and use a level 20 Reduced Mana.
Purity 40% (original cost)
2 x Reduced Mana Reservation -10% (of 40%) is 36%
Reduced Mana (level 20) -29% (of 36%) is 25.56%
Alpha's Howl -8% (of 25.56%) is 23.52%
Final Cost 23.52% (% reduction = 41.20%)



so 3x 40% auras leaves me at 70.56% reserved. This also means my alhpa's howl has all three 30% aura's and the reduced mana gem linked (4 linked)

now if each of the flat cost aura's are connected to a reduced mana gem it looks like this:
Math for Flat aura's I would be running

Anger 164 mana
Wrath 164 mana
Clarity 440 mana
Grace 213 mana
Discipline 215 mana
total: 1196 mana

Flat aura's 1196 mana (original cost)
2 x Reduced Mana Reservation -10% (of 1196) is 1077
Reduced Mana (level 20) -29% (of 1077) is 765
Final Cost 765 mana


Now i know i need 765 mana reserved and i need 150 pool to use for totems and curses. that means i need roughly 900 mana to equal 29.44% of my max mana. Which means my max mana needs to be 2888 mana!

How do i get the mana is the new question.

so lets discuss Eldridge battery with discipline. As i would start with the % aura's before disc after i put disc on i gain mana to use for the remaining spells. so in reality the 2888 mana is less because i have a lower starting point.

Eldridge + Disc = awesome

ES
Discipline aura (level 20) 212 ES flat (Original gain)
%ES from ES passive 104% ES
%ES from Int in passive 74.4% ES
Total % ES from passive 178.4% ES is 590 Energy Shield gained
passive increased mana +50% mana (of 590) is 885.312 mana


So popping Discipline gives you 885 mana (not including % from gear) Lets also remember that you can get flat ES, mana and int from gear.
so if we really only needed 900 mana, disc alone gives this to us. so we now know that if we have enough mana to cast disc (215 mana +15 = 230ish mana) we can cast all our auras.


this now asks the question can we get a 4th 40% aura. the 4th aura woud not have alphas howl so the math there would look like this:
Spoiler

Purity 40% (original cost)
2 x Reduced Mana Reservation -10% (of 40%) is 36%
Reduced Mana (level 20) -29% (of 36%) is 25.56%
Final Cost 25.56%


so i had 70.56% reserved now i add 25.56% = 96.12% reserved. So i need my remaining 3.88% mana to = 230 mana, so i can cast all my flat mana cost aura's and still have some change.

I think this means i would need like 6k mana, so i don't think it is possible to do all 4 but it is clearly easily possible to do 3 + all the flat aura's.

i never thought about starting with a lower base mana pool to start your % based auras, then swap out gear to give you more mana.. pretty smart..

this is something i will have to play with when i get home
Things with "increased" and "decreased" in the tooltip are additive ... where as "More" or "Less" are multiplicative ...
I just realized you could probably get the 4th aura by putting disc on a blood magic gem and reserving like 380 health (blood magic + mana reduction would be needed here i think)

then the fact that % aura's took you to 96% doesnt matter and it doesnt matter what your mana is because the passive tree gives you enough boost to the EB + discipline effect to cover your skill costs and the remaining aura costs.

looks like it is possible to run 9 auras...
I run grace, clarity, discipline, haste and determination. Depending on the map I'm running I swap determination for either purity or vitality.

I run both 40% auras and discipline on mana, and grace + clarity with a blood magic support gem.

I will probably buy a prism guardian soon though.
Wow, i must suck at math, i also forgot that innerforce applies to discipline, so the math for the disc should look like this:

ES
Discipline aura (level 20) 212 ES flat (Original gain)
%ES from inner force 30% increase 275 mana
%ES from ES passive 104% ES
%ES from Int in passive 74.4% ES
Total % ES from passive 178.4% ES is 765 Energy Shield gained
passive increased mana +50% mana (of 765) is 1147.5 mana

so you gain 1147 mana

the blood magic reservation should be something like
discipline lvl20 215 mana
10% passive reduction
reduced mana lvl 20 -29% mana
Blood magic lvl 20 196% mana


(215*.9)*(196-29%)= 193.5 mana * 2.67= 516.64

So 517 life reserved to give the remaining auras, right?

thats a bad ass shield. what aura's would you run in that?
I run 8 (every one expect grace+determination) auras and could easily do 9 if I had more hp on my gear. I am a low-life shock summoner marauder. I only took one group of reduced mana res. talent points to the left side of tree because it was huge waste of points getting to bottom node. Now to do this setup easy you have to have a

You also have to realize you will be running low hp so you have to get chaos resist on every piece of gear possible because that is your worst enemy. And you also have to get every es talent point possible. Here is a link to my build and I'm still redoing more skill points into es.

Does the blood magic modifier on this shield increase the cost of the auras in it?
If they fixed the bug where the quality on mana reduction gems worked w/ auras (works w/ everything else but auras) you could run more.

I bought a 14% mana reduction gem and I was so upset that it does not work w/ auras. Oh, but it's not a bug, it's a feature :p

I run 6.

Anger/Wrath/Chilled/Determination/Grace/Vitality.


Anger/Wrath/Grace +Blood Magic+Reduced Mana.

Chilled/Determination/Vitality +Reduced Mana.

If I had Koams. I would move Chilled to health being 20% So i would roughly loose 1500-2k Health. Which isn't much considering i would jump from 4k to 9-11k. With that I would then add purty to my Mana. = 7 Auras.
