Possible or completly impossible?

without voll's protector, you will never be able to kill any monster above magic, because your really only power charge generation is the scion "chance to gain when you hit full life". if that doesnt give you pcharges, then yu stuck on the monsters, cycloneing, praying to god to help you kill any monster somehow, so you then will have MAYBE a channce to get any pcharges from your assasins mark, and then maybe proc the dicharge, if u hit, and you crit aswell. AAAAND thats only 1 pcharge. so you probably wont be able to kill even white monsters, but if you do, you still wont be able to kill higher life monsters. without pchare on crit and volls, rare monsters and bosses are totally forgettable. Last, you are probably increasing spell, and elemental damage, and deaths oath is dealing chaos damage and damage over time, as far as i know, so you would have no damage to neither of them, or one of them, so the other one would be useless.
decide if you want to build on death oath, or discharge, but both doesnt work.

Plus, both discharge and above all death oath are advanced build that I would not suggest for people that does fully understand the subtle details of this game. I have a death oath build with very good gear and I struggle in red maps.
Discharge build is easier to build but you need a lot of currency to make it powerful and not squishy at the same time.

Arcane Surge, Less Duration, and Swift Affliction don't work with Death Aura. Less Duration and Swift Affliction because Death Aura isn't a duration skill, so they don't support it, and Arcane Surge because you don't spend mana for it, so it won't trigger.

I'm playing a Death's oath occultist build, and , yes, these support gems works. Less duration and swift affliction works with death aura but only when u socket arcane surge.

"Additionally, Arcane Surge Support can be used in a socket to support the Death Aura. While this gem does not provide any direct damage increase (since the Aura is not a casted spell), the hidden "duration" tag that it adds will enable use of the following support gems:

Swift Affliction Support
Less Duration Support"
