The passive tree can provide 69% aura effect which requires heavy point investment though. The Champion Duelist class can have an additional 20% effect, the Guardian Templar class can have an additional 10% effect, and the Necromancer Witch class an additional 5%.Conqueror's Potency can provide another 3% effect. Through the use of Victario's Influence with its lvl 30 Generosity Support and up to 15% increased effect mod, an additional 64% increased aura effect can be obtained. However, supported auras will not affect you.
If the player equips a Dying Breath, an additional 18% effect can be achieved at the cost of a shield (such as Prism Guardian) and weapon (such as Advancing Fortress or Ephemeral Edge). Additionally, the player can equip The Jinxed Juju amulet for up to an additional 15% increased effect.
