Auradin - Aura Build w/ Duelist

Hey guys i just tried making a Aura build becuz i miss Auradin from D2. I chose the duelist cause it was the closest to the two Reduce mana reserve passives.

Anyway i made a video and I decided to share it. Feel free to comment your thoughts and feelings about the build.

I really appreciate thos attempts on unusual builds but still I've got some things to critizise.


Since you are not taking advantage of any aspect of the duelist in this build the Templar would have been a much better choice for an Aura based character.
While the way to the reduced mana reservation passives is longer the rest of the passives around the templar starting area fit this playstyle much better.


The second thing, which may not be that important since your build seems to be really a support build, is that you end up dealing basically no damage compared to other classes and the mroe usual builds, is this supposed to be only played with a group?

Ya all my friends bought the game so we just party up and play hardcore. I never played that character solo (and wouldn't want to!)

It was for fun, just to see if it is actually possible.

I have played him more like i mentioned in the video and he's now at mid act 1 ruthless and he hasn't died yet.

I like your point with the templar; I didn't realise he was going to be a full elemental damage (because of auras and elemental hit). I realised it only after i started the class. However, the bonus I could argue of taking Duelist is once i've reached the Reduce mana reserve & mana pools (which are so far lol), is that after that I can go for all the duelist stuff: One hand dmg and tankyness.

I currently no longer need mana and i'm focusing my points on base damage and armor.

thnx for watchin & commenting
