Is Auradin stacking 2 same-aura items bugged?
I came across an auradin with my stacked light res (aprox 365-370 light res and 90 max light as standard) pala the other day. He used both HF and HS. Now his HF pulse when it hit did aprox 1300 or so dmg (it was definitely over a thousand, I've reproduced the 2 before and after amounts on the life globe as I remember them to check). Yet even if my fire res was reduced by -170% for conviction with Hand of Justice to -85 or so how does it do that amount of damage?
Looking at the Arreat Summit's offensive aura page it shows every lvl incrementing in pulse damage by 1-2 up to lvl 20 when it is 18-21 area of effect damage and 109-127 added to attack. Factoring in all synergies at +480% (or times 5.8) and trying to project an estimated pulse damage as shown by Arreat Summit from lvl 20 to 30 (for lvl 14 and lvl 16 HF auras on Hand of Justice and Dragon) I get 40 pulse x 5.8 inclusive of synergies = 232 pulse damage.
With 1/6th pvp it should be aprox 39 dmg and about doubled to 75 or so with my negative fire resistances. Yet instead I take well over a thousand (even trying to account for some HS damage in there too despite my stacked light res and max light res).
So what I'm wanting to know is:
1. Is there some bugged way in which the game adds and calculates the levels and damage of HF (or even HS ) on 2 items when equipped together? Heck does it also add in the 'added to attack' fire damage of HF and even any +fire damage items/charms?
2. Though seemingly unlikely due to how other aura items like Beast etc are seen to work, does it get boosted additionally from any +skills items?
3. Does the 1/6th pvp penalty apply?
4. Someone once told me that equipping and unequipping one of two same aura items on a merc very fast would cause the total aura level to increase up by the amount of the un/re-equipped item (maybe say +14 each time). Is this true and if so does it have any bearing at all on the HF damage on an auradin?
