Hmmm. Still struggling to get everything "amped" even with such auras. Monster needs to be really nearby.
Is this could come from the fact i'm still under a very low level (~79) with crappy gear (not so much + skills atm)?

Thank you! Got it!

I think auras lvl up too
And depends of monster level
I see fire Aura a bit better than others

Also when you go UBer Trist
Carefull with baal, his spikes can kill you almost instantly

Also, for blood boil build
Conviction + Cursed Is Amazing
Since Blood boil gives Fire + physical DMG

This makes sense to me. Thank you

Everything else mentioned makes sense too. Dmg aura triggering curse. But Conviction + cursed is a mix that doesn't help the lock builds.

Yeah bear in mind both fire and blood boil builds would rather have infinity merc and demon with holy freeze + cursed, but the upgrade that provides over a conviction + cursed demon with insight merc is extremely small and extremely expensive
You still get aoe amp damage from a cursed melee monster, it whiffs sometimes with 25% chance to not trigger, and doesn't proc at a massive aoe range before he attacks

Fana is useless af anyway

Barely adds any damage cos you’re considered a party member to your demon, so it’s much less % ed as self use fana

Blood Boil is both physical and fire damage.

Well you understood the combos on most build, but look at the last one here...

echo:
holy freeze + cursed

fire:
conv + whatever

abyss:
no bind demon, use 3x defiler, consume 1

echo for ubers / pure summoner:
fana + cursed

blood boil:
conv + cursed (you deal both fire and phys dmg)
you can eventually replace conv by infinity on merc, simply to have better amp propagation from holy freeze, but this is an expensive commitment for little upgrade while you could use insight on merc instead
