Build Overview

Welcome to MrRonit's Shield Charge Auradin build - this is a very powerful variant of the classical Auradin build that scales Holy Light Aura!

The core of the build is the same - we use Holy Light Aura combined with the Ceh rune to have multiple sources of Holy Light Aura that does damage! As a result we can also use this build for AFK Farming as well! Holy Light Aura scales with attack speed so we are able to stack a TONNE of this through the build and Shield Charge lets us use items which boost attack speed even further!

What makes this version so powerful is that Shield Charge adds free damage reduction, free attack speed and further free damage through various interactions by just replacing your move button. It's a FREE OFFENSIVE/DEFENSIVE BUFF to the auradin build!

In Season 12 we have added Advance + Judicator Aspect of Watkins' Law to really take the damage even further!

Oaths

Defiance Aura and Fanaticism Aura are all their for their PASSIVE BENEFIT

Just bind Shield Charge to your movement button and hold that down

Use the Judicator oath so that we can use Advance repeatedly to stack up to 80% more damage onto enemies - great for bosses & pit pushing. Using Advance will also trigger our Moni and Lum runes to keep our faith generation high!

Use Holy Light Aura actively from time to time to gain fortification to activate The Best Offense and Fortitude

Use Consecration on stronger enemies/bosses to gain 15% damage boost from Enhanced Consecration

Mythic Uniques

1) Heir of Perdition - 60% multiplicative damage bonus and critical strike chance

2) Shroud of False Death - +1 to all passives is a 60-70% multiplicative damage boost

3) Ring of Starless Skies - Thanks to Shield Charge and Relentless Charge we transform it into a core skill meaning we can now use Ring of Starless Skies for a further 50% multiplicative damage boost and Ring of Starless Skies also has a TONNE of Attack speed!

Uniques

Dawnfire and Griswold's Opus are MASSIVE damage boosts for Holy Light Aura
Godslayer Crown in S12 is crazy - it pulls in enemies every time your wolves from Ceh freeze enemies and boosts damage by 40%
Blood-Mad Idol - constant berserking which is a 25% damage bonus at base, and this item increases that damage bonus to over 50%. If you use this then you must use ALL RUBIES in jewellery to max fire resistance. If you don't use this because you die too much, then use Aspect of Proselytizing amulet with Str, Att Speed, Crit Chance, +Ranks to Skills, Temper Holy Light Aura Potency.

Runes are very important

You need

Ceh and Bac runes to summon spirit wolves which also eminate Holy Light Aura
Neo and Lum - this means we generate primary resource along with Honed which generates faith! This means we can use Shield Charge infinitely!

Tempers

Holy Light Aura Potency is very important as it multiplicatively boosts our aura damage
En Garde helps us hit the block chance cap and gives us more armor forCastle - BUT once we are block chance capped, you want to temper everything else for Holy Light Aura Potency!

Aspect Mechanics

Aspect of Hale's Salve - very important to gain fortification and more armor - use Consecration and Holy Light Aura actively to quickly gain massive amount of fortify. This activates The Best Offense and Fortitude

Stats

1) Cap Attack Speed to 100% (using Elixir of Advantage)

2) Cap Crit Chance to 100%

Bloodied Affixes

This the new Seasonal Mechanic for S12, here is a list of useful Bloodied Affixes worth looking for:

Feast (Found on Weapons, per X kills)

Gain Berserking for Y seconds - then you can use legendary amulet instead of Blood-Mad Idol
Reset 2 random Cooldowns - helps to reset Consecration quickly

Rampage (per kill streak tier)

Primary Core Stat
Cooldown Reduction
Attack Speed
Critical Chance

Hunger (during kill streaks)

Increased Experience
Increased Reputation
Increased Chance for Runes

IGNORE SECTION - OLD SEASON MECHANIC

Mercenary

Mythic Endgame

No Mythic Endgame

Subo gives more critical strike damage

Varyna gives more attack speed through blood thirst!

How it Plays

1) Bind Shield Charge to mouse move button or one button on controller

2) Use Advance alongside to trigger Moni + Lum runes for faith AND triggers Judicator + Aspect of Watkins' Law for massive damage boost

3) Use Holy Light Aura when running low on fortification every so often

Optional - Press Consecration on stronger enemy packs/pit bosses to boost damage and weaken enemies!

AFK version - stand around and your wolves will kill everything!

How it Works

The core of this build remains a classical Holy Light Aura, Dawnfire and Ceh rune build.

Our Ceh rune spirit wolves also eminate Holy Light Aura and apply freeze to enemies which is nice!

We scale Holy Light Aura damage with attack speed!

Thanks to Shield Charge and Relentless Charge we transform it into a core skill meaning we can now use Ring of Starless Skies for a further 50% multiplicative damage boost and Ring of Starless Skies also has a TONNE of Attack speed!

Shield Charge gives us a free bonus to damage reduction instead of moving and generates stacks of resolve through Enhanced Shield Charge.

Consecration has now also been added which drops an AoE effect onto the ground where within enemies are weakened and you gain 15% damage to you and your wolves through Enhanced Consecration!
