Hello! Just looking for a little zeal damage for my Auradin. I am running a 4os cryptic sword for the spirit sword runeword.

I tried looking online and found little data as to what base would be the best for a build like this.

Does anyone know what the best DPS spirit sword base for Auradin would be?

what kinda auradin are you running, spirit is a caster item for the most part and if you’re wanting zeal damage there are much better options

Holy Fire - just a budget build right now until I can afford Grief.

haven't had much luck at finding anything close in comparison to the +2 all skills that adds to my aura damage as well as the base being 5-77 damage.

what's up with all the lame replies?

don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad option starting out but it’s something you’d want to move away from. Grief if you’re looking for the zeal damage and a hoj if you’re going for pulse damage (but also zeal damage just not as much)

A decent geared double dragon + hoj din (basically those three items and whatever else you have) kills everything in hell in 1-3 pulses except elites and bosses due to stacking auras, but even then your +fire dmg on attack from the holy fire and self running conviction means you kill them in a few seconds tops with zeal. People meme on you having to charge everywhere but it’s honestly not bad at all as long as it’s an open map (doors you have to open are the bane of your existence).

The only drawback is that the build falls off hard in higher player counts but if you play solo most of the time it isn’t a problem at all.

the lame replies are to be expected, this subforum is half trolling and half autistic deep dives of esoteric game knowledge you won’t find anywhere else. It’s magical, you swim with the shit or drown in it.
