Description
When active, aura damages the undead and knocks them back.
Key details
- Area damage increases at closer range.
- This skill works on super unique undead ( Bonebreaker, Creeping Feature, Bonesaw Breaker etc.), but not on bosses ( Griswold, Radament).
- Steal Life/Mana items work well with Sanctuary Aura against immune to physical undead monsters as long as they have positive drain effectiveness.
- Sanctuary Aura does significant damage against the undead relative to other auras because it ignores the 50% damage resistance, which nearly all undead monsters have in Hell difficulty.
D2Emu Tips
- Notably, this aura is granted by the 1-handed sword, Azurewrath.
- The Runeword Lawbringer (swords, hammers, scepters with 3 sockets) grants a level 16-18 Sanctuary Aura.
- Patch 2.4: Sanctuary Aura Damage scales based on distance to the caster.
- The DR% piercing effect is reserved only for the unit supplying the aura, and it simply ignores DR% instead of removing it completely.
