Heph has conviction, but all it says in superuniques.txt is 30-Aura Enchanted... so how am I supposed to give another boss a fixed Holy Freeze for example? Apoc Demon said in his beginner's tutorial that it 'takes a lot of work to give it back to him' if you have accidentally erased the 30... so it IS possible to give superuniques a fixed aura. But... how?

I believe you need to do some .dll editing for this.

Not necessarily. Heph always shows up as conviction right? And when I tried making an act2 merc enemy superunique he always had might aura.

The fact that superuniques always pick a fixed aura indicates there is some method by which the aura is chosen. I am suspecting monsterlevel is releated but I haven't tested. It could be by location in superuniques.txt, by baseID, by populateID, by level, by all sorts of things, but it has to be by SOME one thing that determines what aura he gets.

Well, can you find out what they did to Lord De Seis to change him from Conviction to Fanaticism? Because Fanaticism on him is 100% useless and I want to revert it to conviction(or perhaps holy freeze )

Yeah, I don't know why the hell Blizzard put fanaticism in deSeis, it's just useless. Conviction is much better (even more than holy freeze IMO). I didn't know this stuff was hardcoded, wasn't this in the superuniques.txt in the past?

The number code in the mod columns in superuniques.txt for auras is 30 but I believe that will make an aura spawn but it will always be a random aura. There is no specific number assigned for each type of aura. An example is that Hephasto and De Seis both have a 30 in the Mod column even though the auras are different. This leads me to thinking it is hardcoded somewhere in the .dlls. I asked this a while ago when I was a newb but no one seemed to know how to alter the aura. I REALLY need to get rid of fanaticism on De Seis.

What happens if you swap the line for De Seis with a superunique that could "benefit" from fanaticism? That would tell us whether the hardcoding is by line position in the file.
