Auras that extend to allies need more meter radius

I think all player based auras (Mogdrogen’s Pact/Field Command etc) that extend to allies such as pets need more meter radius considering they can move further without benefitting them. This would also apply whenever a player zooms out on their camera when playing a pet build.

12 yards seems very unbalanced compared to Blood of Dreeg, Word of Renewal and the Berserker’s two War Cry’s giving 20 yards and 15 from items such as Necrolord Shroud. Some suggestions I have thought of would be:

  1. I would suggest giving player auras at least 20 yards to keep them in line with the other temporary auras considering if you wanted to adjust the camera zoom for your character for playstyle

  2. Allies would benefit from them as long as it explicitly says the player’s auras also benefit them and not have the meter radius. That way, the player doesn’t have to worry about moving to give aura related bonuses to pets.

  3. If players feel 12 yards is enough, add skill modifiers for items that can extend the auras’ meter radius for awakened items

Definitely a +1 to this :blush:

Yeah now that I think about it, there should also be a text that says bonus to all pets similar to Primal Bond etc whenever you hover over the aura skill. It would help make things less complex since newer players might be confused about who are the allies: which are permanent/temporary pets and player based pets.

that’s not what primal bond does
primal bond gives you 2 bonuses if you are a pet build, that’s what the “bonus to all pets” means, not that the “aura applies to pets”
