Right now, I am lvl 10 with 2 in Surge of Restro, and 0 in Aura of Power... Some people say i need to max these two to keep my two bars up...

Should I?

I think Surge of Restro maxed would be more useful than other surges, so i might do that, but what about power? Aura of the Elements and Vengence seems to be pretty appealing... Do i really not AoP? What should i do with the surge?

Shouldn't you be using the aura that adds crit? That's what I would do :|

power = potions or w/e they're called

unless you want to be spamming power injectors then get aura of power if you're going to be using a surge build

why do i need aura of power if im using a surge.... and saying "if you're going to be using a surge build", does that mean that surge of restro is not essential? i wouldnt want to waste points there if i didnt need it...

also for a BM, what kind of weapons should i be looking for.... speed / slash or direct... and what stuff on the swords (other than phase)

you will want a sword of all damage types but phase being your main (can have pioison mods in fire or other way around ect). the reason for this is mini games, you will get some good gear from completeing as many of them as you can and will need various damages to accomplish this.

though surges will keep you alive, you will need additianal damage, you have a choices here. what ever works with your play style.

but phase should be your main, phased monsters deal half damage and take an additional 50% damage.

surge of restoration to my figureing is essential for all bm's in ehc, normal or just elite and you could stuff around with diff builds.

gl, the bm's are a lot of fun.

ty,

any input on whether i should get aura of power, is it needed, or some other aura?
