Aurabots are imbalanced by design . They can ' t play solo and they are dependant very specific gear requirements . And then they are limited in terms of personal safety by the fact that they don ' t have damage to leech from . If Aurabots were balanced in terms of riskreward then there would be no reason to play them over an actual selfsufficient build . I think you forget that typical RPGMMO archetypes of dpstankhealer etc . don ' t exist in PoE . Every individual character except supports needs to do enough dps , tank significant hits and have enough regenleech to fight continuously . Aurabots are only really tanky , so individually they are actually super weak and limited . Barely anyone even plays support for these reasons .
