Auras from Merc gear add to player?

So does an aura generated from Merc gear also affect player?
We know the act2 Merc Shares his basic aura.
But if I add an runeword like Insight to said Merc, would that aura also affect the player?
So both merc and player got 2 stacked auras, or the Merc gets 2 and the player 1?

Basicly does aura from gear affect others or only the wearer.

Item-provided auras do not differ from ones provided by an active skill and affect allies or enemies in their ranges - hence the popularity of mercenaries used solely as aura providers.

The only difference is that the same item-provided auras stack with each other (levels are added), but not with skill-provided ones.

The aura on Merc works like the aura on a main Character.
The point is that some auras affect allies and "aura user" in the same way (like Might,

Concentration,

Meditation,

Prayer) other auras just affect the "aura user" (like

Redemption,

Holy Fire,

Holy Freeze,

Holy Shock,

Conviction) or some aura have higher effect on the "aura user" and a lesser effect on allies (like

Fanaticism)

The aura description generally says how it affect allies

In general you want to put on Merc an aura that affect allies (so you gain bonus) or an aura that do not affect allies but causes de-buff on enemies (like

Conviction and

Holy Freeze)

When two benefiting auras of the same type are active, only the higher level aura takes effect. For example, if there are two mercs with level 16 and level 17

Meditation in your party, only the level 17 one is working.

This does not count for damaging auras. All damaging auras take effect if they emanate from different sources.

For example, you can use

Holy Shock from items (1-2x Dream), self skilled

Holy Fire (as Paladin) and

Holy Freeze from your merc all at once, or even three

Holy Fire auras as well (Paladin and Act 3 Merc with 1-2x Dragon and Hand of Justice).

Only the radial damage works this way, not the whole aura. In other words, the second setup would mean three sources of AoE damage, but only the higher level aura's (own or from items) damage would be added to Paladin's weapon damage.

This is correct, but I was talking about the aura effect.
