Act2 Merc

[Aegy]

Which type of merc has what aura? I've tried at least 10 different mercenaries, and only the defensive one had one aura (devotion). I'm trying to get holy freeze aura, but I have no idea which one has which >_<

Keep in mind that the mercs won't activate the aura straight away.

Combat (Normal): Prayer
Combat (Nightmare): Thorns
Combat (Hell): Prayer
Defense (Normal): Defiance
Defense (Nightmare): Holy Freeze
Defense (Hell): Defiance
Offense (Normal): Blessed Aim
Offense (Nightmare): Might
Offense (Hell): Blessed Aim

Edit: Also, what level are you recruiting the mercs?

The act 2 mercenaries don't start with their aura being switched on. They will do that after a little bit of fighting which can be annoying from time to time.

BTW, there is no "devotion" aura. The holy freeze merc is the defensive one from act 2 nightmare.
