How effective is this SA, and would it work for a DL? My DE just rolled a +1 in this SA and I'm tempted to purchase it. Would the lower morale only work for ball carriers (QB and RB for me) or would it somehow make the opposing OL worse?

Also, how high of confidence would one need for this to be effective? Currently my confidence is only about 20.

Confidence isn't necessary... the skill is always "on" (more points increases its radius/morale hit, not its chance to fire)

and how do you know this? As far as I know Bort has not come out and said anything to suggest this.

Hover over the skill with your mouse pointer.

To the OP, I would say it's not actually worth it. I'm a big fan of Aura myself, but unless you can pump the skill to increase it's benefits then I don't think it can help you much.

It talks about the player being mean, which may or may not be related to confidence.

btw, I'm not necessarily arguing with you, but does reducing an opposing player's morale directly related to your player's confidence? While you would certainly think so, it's hard to know based on how confidence was originally defined by DD. So yeah, you would think that what you're saying is accurate, but I'm not sure it's definitive.

While I understand what you're getting at, Bort has been pretty adamant about skills being literally described in their skill boxes. And while it's generally accepted that Confidence plays some factor in skills that need to activate, there is nothing in Aura's description that suggests it needs to activate. Whether your confidence is 10 or 100, what we DO know is that more points in it equals more of a morale hit (and a bigger radius). If you have 10 points in it, it would be a very safe assumption to think that the morale penalty would be higher than if you had 5 points in it; confidence (as far as I know) has nothing to do with if it's a bigger penalty or not at either level 5 or 10.

So whether or not confidence plays a role, the point still stands that more points in the skill itself improves it's worth and is not dependent on your attributes to provide at least SOME benefit.

ok, I tihnk I misread what you had originally written. I thought you were saying that more points in confidence increases the radius and morale hit of AuraInt. It appears that what you meant was that more points in Aura of Int increases the radius and the morale hit of the Aura. My question is, does having more confidence increase the effectiveness of Aura of Intimidation, or does confidence have nothing to do with the Aura?

Ah word, gotcha. That's a good question actually, and I'm not too sure. My guess is that confidence doesn't have an effect on the size of the morale hit, and Aura is a rare (if only) skill that is wholly dependent on the number of points put into it.

Yep. I just think that forum post that was going around GLB about what stat quantities 'triggered' certain SA's is one of the funniest parts of GLB. It is still messing with people's heads.

That was utter genius.

Also, to piggyback onto what wallysmith said,

More Points in Aura>>>More Points in Confidence

Ha, yeah, that thing spread like WILDFIRE. A lot of owners (myself included) were doing damage control in the team forums trying to prevent everyone from hitting these fake targets and screwing up their builds.

One of the few occurrences where Bort took a public stand to denounce a rumor instead of creeping inside random Bug threads.

I would buy it, but wait a couple seasons to use it. Like mentioned above, that special won't do you a lot of good until it's been upgraded a couple/few times and it takes 16 bonus tokens just to upgrade it once.
