merc aura question

Post by terran698 »

i was wondering if having 2 items on a merc that have the holy fire aura (dragon and hand of justice) if it has 2 holy fire auras one lvl 16 and another lvl 14 or if they stack 14+16 for a lvl 30 holy fire or if the higher level cancels the lower one lvl16 is bigger so it cancels the 14 all together?


and finally what is the maximum number of aura's a merc can have? for example dream helm+ dragon body + hand of justice wepon + phoenix shield(for an act3 merc) or dream helm + dragon body + doom wepon + thorns(act2 nightmare combat merc)

I've never tried, but from what I've heard, the aura levels will stack when the same character is wearing items granting the same aura.

I've never heard there is a specific limit in how many auras a merc can have apart from the natural limitations of equipment slots.

Hi,
the auras on items do stack their level, but even with a final 30 skills it don't do enough damage on a merc to be interresting (usually these items don't have other interresting modes on them, but the area of effect is so big that he attract mobs beyond your screen view ;) !).
it's valuable on a sorceress with Fire mastery, more valuable is the dual dream aura with lightning mastery.
there's no limit on aura's stacking...
