General Information

Holy Fire as seen in-game

Holy Fire is the first aura that adds Elemental Damage to the Paladin's attack and deals periodic damage to enemies near the Paladin. At high levels, this skill rapidly kills entire screens of Monsters in early Normal difficulty.

Holy Fire is rarely used elsewhere due to its low damage potential and it being generally outclassed by Holy Shock. It mainly finds use with niche builds like so-called Rangers, Paladins who use any Unique Bow which shoots Exploding Arrows as their main weapon. The Aura's Fire Damage is actually added to the area-effect explosions and can be quite high when fully synergized.

Necromancer's Fire Golem naturally has got this Aura.
