Yes indeed, Grief boost is not displayed on char screen.

Physical damage is huge, of course, as soon as you have a good weapon like Grief or Death.
It also allows you to leech back life, so you don't have to worry about using potions.

Physical + Holy shock is incredibly powerful. You'd have less overall damage with auras granted by HoJ, Doom or Dragon.


Would a ebotdz be viable as well as grief or death?

It wouldn’t add nearly as much damage as Grief or Death. CTC Glacial Spike from the latter adds some nice crowd control on non/broken cold immunes :)

I had a play around with dual Dreams, Dragon and HoJ yesterday, it’s a really fun build! I went the self-Conviction route. Maxing Resist Fire for the Holy Fire synergy added a surprising amount of fire damage, coupled with all the -res going on.

But yeah Fort + Grief/eDeath better way to go :p The dream zealer guide in the stickies is a great resource.

What Mukhalif said.

And eBotD is more than 'viable', it's simply less powerful than the other 2 ...

So HoJ and Dragon combined will give lvl30 Holy Fire, which seems to add 261-273 fire damage to physical attacks, and ~44 “pulse” damage on the aura. Quite negligible (EFR and Conviction not taken in to account).

The Holy Freeze on Doom would be nice for sure.

Might have a play around with this on SP myself :)


you would obviously max holy fire synergies....

auradin should go 2x dragon + hoj or 2x dream + physical, both much stronger than light + fire

Yeah upon playing around with it myself, the Holy Fire synergies helped :p

Famine is also mentioned later in the stickied auradin guide. Can’t say I’ve ever made one but apparently it’s alright for this build.

Decided on Grief PB for wep

20 zeal
20 fana
20 lit resist
20 (on the way anyways) salvation

Just hit lvl 75 and it can hold its own in hell games, a bit reliant on merc cause conviction aura but super fun to play


Thanks for the advice fellas!
