[edit] Notes
- Note that while Dark Aura deals more damage with more ranks in Death Magic, you also lose more health.
- Blood Renewal, Generous Was Tsungrai, and Spirit Light (or a combination thereof), are useful ways of healing to balance out Dark Aura's health loss while still dealing damage through sacrifice. In particular, Spirit Light has the combined advantage of low energy cost, fast recharge time and instant healing, which allows for sustainable healing (and damage) over time.
- If triggered too rapidly in PvE, creatures will flee the AoE.
- Combine Dark Aura with touch or point-blank skills that require sacrifices such as Signet of Agony and Touch of Agony. Other sacrifice skills, touch skills, or point-blank skills may also work well.
- This skill is frequently used by Saccers to forced-trigger Death Nova.
