how does it apply it better than holy shock?


In ismails case he seems to “cast” it, similar to his default ability(this is related to op)

I can’t see how person you replied to is getting better results than damage aura.

The holy auras tick every 2 seconds (?) not sure what the timing is to be honest, and teleporting just before the tick can prevent it from applying amp, whereas the balrog seems to do fire breath the moment you touch down after tele or teleporting doesn’t interrupt his inferno and it seems to apply reliably whenever you teleport near a pack. Radius seems good too. I’ve 99’d 2 warlocks with holy auras and a third with multi shot inferno demon, and I haven’t missed the holy aura and in some cases it could be faster.

Technically holy fire is probably the best holy due to highest range, shock is next with lowest range, I avoid holy freeze because it pops bodies.

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark

lol using a fanat bind in april 2026


I used to think this too, but turns out, this is a huge misconception.

Looks to me like fanaticism is spreading the curse just fine here. And if there is any marginal increase from holy freeze, I’d argue it’s completely negated by the benefits of fanaticism aura.
