Question regarding multiple auras

Just came back to playing d2 again after a year break. I just wanted to confirm that you can stack multiple auras through item bonuses. Example: act2 nm def merc with his aura and if he uses a weapon with conviction and lets say he uses a helm with another aura. Will the multiple auras stack?

Also if the merc has all those auras and you yourself have runeword items with multiple auras as well. Will they all stack?

 

[Leohappy]

auras stack, as long as they're all different auras

if there are two auras of the same type (like conc) then the better one takes precedence

also does +skill items such a shako add to the aura, like lets say on my merc using conviction and holy freeze?

All mercs benefit from + all skill items like the shako, but isn't there a cap on merc auras? Can someone confirm?

i think only their main aura has a cap... of 18?????

 

[sirmessbu]

+skill from shako or any other items will raise the level of the main aura the merc has. But aura granted by items doesn't benefit from that +skill(or battlecommand).

 

[Leohappy]

+skill items will improve merc auras beyond capped values
weapons they might be holding, like infinity or pride, will be unaffected by +skill items

 

[Nilaripper]

If a combat-merc act2 norm is equipped with shako,valor,ariocs needle(+4) he recieves +8 to his prayer aura.(18+8=26).If he uses infinity his prayer aura gets +4 and the aura from the weapon is not affected.
