PoE Vitality Aura

Ah, Vitality aura! Now we're talking lifelines and regen. Buckle up, Exile, because this aura can be the difference between a swift demise and a glorious victory. Let's explore its vital potential!

What it does:

  • Vitality is an aura skill that grants life regeneration to the caster and all nearby allies. Think of it as a constant, pulsating fountain of life, keeping you and your friends in the fight.
  • The amount of life regeneration it grants scales with the level of the gem and the quality of the gem. Higher level and quality gems translate to more health replenished per second.

Why use it?

  • Vitality shines in builds that prioritize sustained health recovery over burst healing. For characters with low base life pools or those facing sustained damage, it can be a lifesaver.
  • It synergizes well with other regen mechanics, like leech and Life Gain on Hit effects, creating a robust defensive layer.
  • It's particularly valuable for minions, as they benefit from the aura's regen without needing to invest in their own.

How to use it:

  • You can link Vitality to your mana pool like any other aura skill. The cost is relatively low, making it accessible to various builds.
  • Consider incorporating additional aura support gems to enhance its effectiveness. "Increased Duration" allows the regen to tick for longer, while "Concentrated Area" boosts the regen for those closer to you.
  • Remember, Vitality's regen applies over time, so don't rely solely on it for facing burst damage situations. Combine it with other defensive layers like resistances and mitigation mechanisms for a well-rounded defense.

Alternatives:

  • There are other aura options for regen, like Determination for armor or Grace for evasion. Choose the aura that best complements your build's overall defense strategy.
  • Consider active healing skills like Immortal Call or Molten Shell for situations where burst damage mitigation is crucial.

Embrace the Vitality, Exile! Let its life-giving pulse keep you and your allies in the thick of the fray. Remember, a healthy adventurer is a victorious one.

Vitality Support Gems Build

These support gems will affect Vitality Vitality auras:

  • Blood Magic Blood Magic Support – This will cause linked auras to reserve health instead of mana, but increase the cost by the mana multiplier. Note that “reduced mana cost” from increases in quality have no effect on mana reservation.
  • Spell Totem Spell Totem Support – Casts a totem which will maintain the aura. The cost to cast the totem is the mana that would be reserved multiplied by the Mana Cost Multiplier of the Totem support and any other linked support gems.
  • Generosity Generosity Support – Increases the effect of the non-curse auras on allies (including minions) but prevents them from affecting the player.
  • Increased Area of Effect Increased Area of Effect Support – Further increases the Area of Effect of the Aura, but increases the Mana reservation by the gem’s multiplier.
  • Concentrated Effect Concentrated Effect Support – Lessens area of effect and applies the mana cost mulitplier, but does not provide a bonus to aura damage, as auras cannot directly cause damage. An exception would be the aura from Death’s Oath Death’s Oath.
  • Enlighten Enlighten Support – Reduces the mana reserved of the aura by the amount of the mana multiplier.
  • Empower Empower Support – Adds levels to supported auras, but increases their cost by the mana multiplier.
  • Enhance Enhance Support – Increases the quality of the gem, granting increased area of effect, but at increased mana cost.

Note that Inspiration Support does not affect reservation, but does affect auras supported by Spell Totem Spell Totem Support.
