Can a merc have 2 Aura's active?

I wanna equip an Act2 NM defensive merc and the Holy Freeze Aura, with a Hand of Justice Colossus Voulge and Holy Fire.

Will both Aura's work at the same time or will they not work at the same time.

Txs in advance for any replies *me is hopefull*

I believe they work at the same time.

GIR is correct.

I have done this before - Giving a Might merc the HF aura - monsters still get frozen and my Paladins attack was still amped up, so they definately both work.

The Aura will just alternate between the two. (graphically) but both will be constantly active.

Ok txs guys, you helped me out a lot

Infinity + hf also works.

Its cool, because If you have a defiance/might merc, and equip him with doom, he'll have HF and defiance/might. Totally awesome.

Would a Merc with Holy Freeze Aura, Hands of Justice (Holy Fire) polearm and Bramble armor (Thorns Aura) benefit from all three Aura's ???

Is their any kind of limit ?

You can also add a Dream helm, which has a Holy Shock aura. He would also benefit from other characters'/mercs' auras. There is no limit on the number of auras any char or merc can have.

Hmm ok. To my best noobish estimation this would be awesome, or are there some drawbacks to getting such a configuration on a Merc? Is it maybe better to get some other stuff for that Act2 NM merc?

Well, you might be very good on the offensive with all these damage auras, but not very good on the defensive side. For example, you might not have very good resists, or life, or leach.

Going offtopic here, but the idea of my Merc was to have it slow down enemies together with a decent Valk so that my Poizone (Poison Amazone) can hurl some goodies at them. Maybe have a Buriza or something as a Switch to help out with some tougher monsters.

I see your point in keeping it alive with leech and resistance.
