Death Aura

How do I petition to get Death Aura to scale with Chaos damage? It currently only scales with damage over time. Death Aura cannot crit, so entirely dumping into it, you're capped around 100k damage. Righteous Fire has fewer limitations and can scale off fire and burning even though they have about the same amount of support gems that work with them.

Death Aura does scale with modifiers to chaos damage.

Why do you think Void Manipulation works for Death Aura?

oh you mean "DEAD AURA" XDDDDDD

The problem with death aura is not its scaling...but rather its base damage and damage effectiveness. If it starts too low, it will end too low. Suffers from the same problem as most melee skills prior to 3.25.

It also really should have a larger base radius too.

Considering it can clear normal to mid t16s fairly well with good investment...its actually rather powerful for a unique-granted skill even as-is. For the longest time, I had a t16 death aura sweeper in standard that ran mf gear and item quantity support...which really shouldn't be possible for ANY skill. And since I deleted that build....death aura has gone through multiple buff cycles.

It's just not (nor will it ever be) a delirium farmer, boss farmer, or t17 farmer.

RF scales higher.....BUT rf comes with a pretty severe downside. There is no burn from Death Aura, so it requires no investment into resists or regen to function at 100%. ****Ed: forgot about the 450 chaos per kill***, still not as much to overcome as RF.
