= [WIP] All-Encompassing Resource for Supporting =

There are multiple types of supports one can aim to run in Path of Exile. The key idea behind supports is either buffing your allies or debuffing enemies. Another high priority is stacking defense on your character to survive. This resource is intended to be all-encompassing towards the different buffs, debuffs and forms of defense a support can consider.

Buffs
Buffs can come from skills, gear, or the passive tree.

Auras
The main source of buffs used by supports are auras. Auras can come from skill gems, gear, or the passive tree.

Generic Aura Scaling
The main stat which buffs the power of our auras is: All aura effect is applied individually to each stat an aura grants, rounding down each stat. Sources of these are:

Notes for Carries
The following mods act additively with aura effect from supports auras. mod_stats.id LIKE "%buff_effect_on_self_+%" OR      mod_stats.id LIKE "%aura_effect_on_self_+%" Note that the first one scales auras even if not from a skill. One particularly good use case of this is scaling Guardian's Aura which grants Energy Shield.

Additional Stats on Auras
There are also modifiers which add stats to your auras. Currently, these modifiers are: All of these modifiers add a stat to the aura and therefore are scaled by any effect on that aura.
