Stacking auras questions

Hey y’all, so I was doing some research into potential builds and got some questions regarding the Holy Fire/shock auras.

So I understand auras stack, but apparently they double-stack. When you wear 2 dreams you get a level 30 Holy Shock, and dual dragons and Hand of Justice gives you a level 44 Holy Fire. For each the auras they are applied independently as if they were at max level.

So a tesladin’s radial damage is as if 2 level 30s were going and a dragondin’s is as if 3 level 44s were active…crazy

So my question is what happens if you gave your merc some of these items too. An act 5 merc could have dual Hand of Justice and a Dragon for his own for 3 level 50 Holy Fire auras? How would that interact with a dragondins auras?

Would the max level take over all auras a la Conviction? Then being like 6 level 50s? And what would happen to the tic damage as the merc’s wouldn’t be synergized?

Or what? I just don’t know.

Anyone ever done this or able to test it?

those auras are useless on a merc, too weak without synergies

But do the merc auras stack with your auras? The difference between a level 44 synergized aura and a 94 synergized aura would be pretty big, wouldn’t matter if the mercs’ were unsynergized

no, the auras from different chars don't stack, the higher one is the one that applies, i.e. lvl 12 Infinity from merc Conviction neither stacks nor "works" when your pally has a 13 or above Conviction level.
And where the 94 aura comes from? Max you can reach is 44 Holy Fire with dual Dragon and hoj

auras stack only on the same char. if you have a lvl16 aura and your merc a lvl17 aura of the same type on you, the lvl17 will be used and the lower one is useless.

if you have a lvl16 on a helmet yourself and a lvl17 on your shield you will have a lvl33 aura on you (example: Dream lvl15 on helmet + lvl15 on shield ---> lvl30 pulsing)

Yea sorry, I thought the auras from different sources would stack, so the 44 from the player, and a 50 from the merc - act 5 merc with 2 hoj and a Dragon… whoops that’s only 46 on the merc.

It makes sense not stacking from different sources, if not you could just get 8 players rocking the same aura and just walk around with everything dying.

dreams of just walking around p8 with everything dying dashed…

And this rule applies only for item-provided aurae. The same aura used as an active skill will not stack with those provided by items - only the highest level one (native or sum from items) will be active

Well, you still can just walk around and see things die in p1/2
