Im thinking about running a FOH build with dreams shield and helm with a dragon chest and doom wepon that would give me all three auras and i can still run foh with conviction if i dont put points into holy shock instead use those for the sinergies for the auras i have i think if i ran this it could be viable but i would loose the enigma so i may just do the two idk anyone have any sugjestions just thought of this last night and gave it a try with just the doom and it was doing just as good as if i where just fully FOH with a hoto and i lost cast rate and res if anyone has any cool builds let me know!

Sounds cool but nah, it's too much spread out.

Dragon is only good if you're stacking it with HoJ or another Dragon aiming for 30 or 44 Holy Fire with synergies+ level 25 Conviction Aura...

Doom will be good for crowd control but other better options available.

Like Dragon, Dream needs to be stacked to hit level 30 Aura with synergies and level 25 Conviction to be useful...

If you don't get the Aura synergies then it's pointless to run Auradin items and then again trying to maximize FoH as well is tricky.

Just go pure FoH, pure Auradin or FoH/Hammer

but if i only put points into holy shock and FOH it still slaps so that leaves alot of points to hit my sinergies on the auras not putting points into the second singergy for FOH (holy shock) that saves me 20 hard points i just wanna look cool with all the auras :D

That’s the type of build that we all tried when we were complete noobs haha

It sounds cool, when you think about it for a brief moment.
But it’s definitely one of the absolute worst builds in the game, very boring to play, not cool at all to play, just a big investment to build and a lot of sadness to realize how bad it is in the end.

To have good aura dmg you need to stack the same one 3 times (dragondin).
To have good foh dmg you need to invest heavily in +skills and fcr.

In this build your auras do unnoticeable dmg.
Foh deals only half the dmg it could, casts slowly, and does not benefit from your useless conviction since it deals magic dmg.
You have scattered stats and spells that all contradict each others, leaving you extremely weak both offensively and defensively, with not much to do since you have no mobility, no cast speed, no dmg, no tankyness and no sustain.

Have fun!

Your suggestion is not viable for a Solo player build.

Are your questions related to PvP or PvM?
Single player of a group of Friends playing together?
Do you have to have Conviction if your friend has that Aura?
What other points would you distribute to other skills if your friend had max Conviction?
Do you want to be Lightning, Cold or Fire damage output?
Would you use melee attacks like Zeal for your FoH to cast?
What are the Most Immunes do you come across in Hell Difficulty? (Fire / Cold / Lightning / Poison etc)
Which Immunes in Hell difficulty can be removed by Conviction Aura easily and in what Acts? (1, 2 , 3, 4 or 5)
FoH is lightning damage and sporadically attacks by a sequence of 1 or 3 seconds ... so you need a counter or another attack? or am I wrong?

Have you looked into it, then removed all the inconsistencies and make your build better with other players... or solo?

Hey it is up to you.

EDIT: oh, what if you were enchanted... either by a Chant sorc or an item?
