Notes

  • Expensive but effective way to scatter a group of monsters ganging up on the party's backline.
  • Works well when cast on pets and other allies. Monster AI has a tendency to ignore these in the presence of other tanks and will not always scatter; Balthazar's Aura can exploit this.
  • Combined with the Dervish skill Extend Enchantments and a 20% enchanting modification, this can last a lengthy 20 seconds, as the effects of Extend Enchantments occur after rounded calculations from enchant boosts. A monk with Blessed Aura and staff wrap can cast Balthazar's Aura on a self-cast Extend Enchantments ally for durations limited only by the Extend Enchantments.

Trivia

  • The name of this skill is a reference to Balthazar, the god of war and fire.
