Auradin's seem to be popular for PvP, but I don't PvP at all, so this is strictly a PvM question.

I've been pondering making an auradin for awhile, I understand the concept, just need to assemble the gear. As I was reading, I got to pondering, could it be possible to double the pulse damage over time by making an auradin clone out of an Act III merc?

Me: Paladin - wearing auradin gear, using Conviction
Merc: Act III - also wearing auradin gear.

How would the auras interact with each other? I know they would not simply stack and double the level, but would my auras pulse, then his auras? If so, this would result in doubling the damage over time, right?

I'm assuming that I'm wrong, the game would only pulse one aura, the other would do nothing, since they'd be of equal level.

Does auradin gear even work on mercs? If it does, would it be possible to gear the merc with auradin gear to get the lit and fire pulses, then gear yourself differently and still use conviction to benefit your merc's pulses (plus your own damage, depending on what you choose)?

:scratch: If mercs can be mini-auradin's, maybe I'll make one to drag around behind my hammerdin.

I believe they'd both be active on the merc. However, the pulse damage, if not synergized, is incredibly puny. So, even if it did work, you wouldn't stand to benefit from it much. We're talking 45 fire damage and 1-278 lightning damage. You'd be better off getting a merc for Fanat (Faith) or Holy Freeze.

Yeah, forgot about the synergies. Oh well, another hairbrained scheme of mine fails due to obvious-but-overlooked details.

Thanks!

Happens to me everytime I think I have a good idea.

I use a faith wielding merc, makes it easy to hit a 4fpa zeal with a PB HoJ

Also as a suggestion, if you don't go the faith or even ice a1 merc route. Instead of the holy freeze merc, I like the Rift wielding defiance mercs.
