offensive aura skiller with fhr, why so valuable?

[:1]So I found one of these and thought it was just another crappy skiller. Then I saw a price check where someone told the OP one was sold for 15-20 Ists on last ladder. That got me wondering, why is this specific combo so expensive? Obviously it's for pvp but since my knowledge about pvp is limited at best, could someone enlighten me a bit and tell me what pala build/builds need just this particular skiller so badly? Or was the guy claiming it's worth so much talking nonsense?|||my guess would be maybe a dual holy freeze/holy shock pally? itd boost both all active offensive auras, with zeal the fhr means less interupts id guess|||Wasn't there something going around about the best damage output on a hammerdin being some mix of pcombs and offensives?

Other than that I can't think of any high-end build that would use this... except maybe a pali with Infi merc that's aiming for level ~40 HS.|||Quote:

Zeal is uninteruptable, so don't think that's what you'd use them for.

From what I can see using the hammer optimization charts (here) this doesn't seem to be the case. At least I cannot find such a case (though I haven't tried all input combinations ofc).





It could be for a FoH (or mage) that wish to increase their conviction (and concentration) aura. Not sure if they'd actually do more damage that way, but having higher conviction then your opponent could also be the reason in this case.|||Quote:

that's the only reason i can come up with for anyone using an offensive auras GC in PvP.

i've heard of FoHers and some V/Ts keeping a handful of off-aura GCs on hand when they come up against another FoHer, in which case, highest level conviction WINS!|||Ok thank you all, your replies were really interesting read!

Searced a bit and found many values of 1-2 Ist for the very same skiller from some veteran players, maybe the price was after all just exaggerated.|||Quote:

don�t forget with the introduction of 1.13 prices changed a LOT. so depending in which time u searched aka in which time that estimation was, it might be outdated|||Apparenlty Groo had one for sale in the end of last ladder for 10-20 ist. Dunno if he sold it tho, the thread is over 60 pages long.
