[h2]4 New Elemental Aura Skills[/h2]

Benefactor: Now also makes damaging auras tick 30% faster.

Flame Aura: Gain an aura of flame that deals 75% spell damage per second to nearby enemies, and Burns them for 25% spell damage per second.

Cooldown activates on aura deactivation.

Lightning Aura: Gain an aura of lightning that strikes all enemies that spend 1 second in your aura with lightning that deals 75% spell damage. If an enemy is struck 3 times in a row, the third strike deals double damage and creates chain lightning that strikes up to 2 additional targets for 50% of the damage. Lasts until toggled off. Instant cast. Cooldown activates on aura deactivation.
