-you guys pretty much buffed and nerfed everything in the game so... I don't know what to think. I'm feeling a bit disapointed but i don't know why.

We are already running more auras than needed. People think of auras like honour badges.
I once experimented with a leap slam marauder. I felt I had to run all the auras recommended in the build guide I was following. However, once I decided to just try playing without any auras.

I did just fine, didn't die at all. Could not notice any difference in clearing speed too.

Now that aura effects are "boosted" (hopefully more than just radius), it might be actually meaningful to run just one aura.

Question though: I find it a bit hard to believe that the flat aura reservations have also been changed to 60% (with one exception). Is it really so, or did it mean that all % aura reservations now stand at 60%, and all flat reservations will apply as usual?

Auras and party mechanics:
One more point to note is, now that auras are harder to support for single characters, people will use auras judiciously in parties, and will actually stick together rather than one trigger-happy thug running ahead of everyone trying to prove that his anatomical part is bigger and longer than the rest of the party members.

The direction the game is headed now is an endless grind in Act x areas simply to attempt to be geared enough for the content they're adding in now. In the current state, even with auras, you need a significant investment into defenses simply to survive in late-game maps. With even higher level areas being introduced and new enemies/enemy skills being added, even more will be demanded. The nerf to auras like these directly impact defense/survival, which means you'll be grinding even longer or farming even harder simply to afford what's required to simply experience new content.

This isn't balance where time invested is directly related to reward earned, they more or less reduced it to not having any correlation at all since you're more reliant on RNG now than you were before, and you were pretty damn reliant on RNG before.

Guess that's a typo, or the previous chance was stupidly low ;-)

I don't know. I've been trying to 4L

I've dropped 50 fuses on them, and haven't seen a 4L yet. The minute I read the change to 4L I stopped trying.
