Aura Build: You supply auras to the party

Ethereal Knives seems to be the absolute best skill for an aura build.

What skills do you guys use, if not Ethereal Knives?

search elemental buzzsaw and u know what 40% of the players are running now. its an aura based spectral throw build

That's one I found. It's not an aura build.

Let me clarify "aura build":

1. Uses Alpha's Howl, Prism Guardian, and the Shavronne's Wrappings or Solaris Lorica chest piece.

2. Reserves just about all of their life and mana to run up to 11 auras including Tempest Shield.

3. Does not have any nodes allocated into damage, and if they do it's minimal. Almost if not all points are spent getting all of the aura nodes and some hit points.

ok sorry then would have helped if ud say low life as addition. those ST builds get like 80% of their damage from auras too.

theres other ele spec throw builds running 5 auras with prism guardian+alpha but its also a life build.

guess i cant contribute more. EK should still be one of the best skills for ur plans

Aura builds always imply low life due to reservations.

Edit: socializing before caffeine is bad.

You're being kind of ridiculous.

What's ridiculous is your statement.

What does an aura build do? Maximizes auras for party play.

Calling something an aura build only implies that the use of auras is critically important to the build. Play 1h elemental spectral throw. Turn off the auras - see how well it works. It is an aura build.

To avoid misleading people attempting to answer your request for help you should've been more specific.
