violent heart attack - are the explosions going to hurt me or my partners?
No, they will not. If monsters are in close to one another it will cause them to be knock backed by a block or so, but nothing more. It basically has pretty effects + a possible knockback. Personally, I think it's better than the shield-defense buff thing, and I'm hoping one day it'll be buffed to cause stun to those neighboring monsters hit...
iron heart attack drops those spinny ball things right
No. Just a the shield-defense thing, which I'm not sure if it actually works or not. See Fehz's
which aura is better and which ray is better in your opinions
Auras... Valk or Sera
Valk = CTR Max + invincibility to spike traps ect (I went this way since I charge spam my weapons a lot, and I don't commonly use Chaos)
Sera = Shield regen = faster + invincibility to spikes ect
Rays..Disin or Dazzles
Disin = Defense down to all monsters (gives extra damage if you attack monsters while the ray is hitting them too)
Dazzles = Extra damage done to undead + fiends (meh)
I went with:
Disintegration Ray (antenna on the head)
Violent Heart Attack (I like the buff arms, since I'm quite weak so it makes me feel protected o3o and it's moar fluffy)
Valkyrian Aura (fluffy tail)
I don't want to discourage discussion --- we haven't had a thread about this topic in a while --- but you might benefit from reading older threads, while you wait for new answers.
Heart Attack:
A better question would be whether the explosions on heart attack do anything at all. I've heard that they don't, but it might have been fixed but I don't think it was.
The iron heart attack does function, and drops defense orbs. I believe they raise defense by 20%??? But I'd check because I'm really not sure of that. I went with it and can attest that it does drop the defense orbs.
Light Ray:
I believe that the fiend/undead one is only better if you're attacking fiends/undeads with their respective weakness. So like fiends with piercing, and that the disintegration ray is generally considered much better.
Aura:
The aura is really up for debate. I believe that both function, and that it really is just a matter of preference. The valkyrie one gives you CTR: MAX on all of your gear, and is really most usable on loadouts lacking CTR. The other one gives you a less noticeable buff that increases your shield recharge rate.
