Bit of a technical question, but I've not yet found an answer so I'm trying my luck here. Is Enchant affected by auras, e.g. Concentration, or is the damage boost static?

Concentration boosts physical damage (and BH) and enchant is fire damage.

Ah yeah, of course. :)

Next question: is there any ways to boost fire damage externally? I.e. from other party members than the Sorceress.

Indirectly conviction and lower resist would boost the damage.

EDIT: Summoner/Enchantress team could be pretty cool, if that's what you are looking for.

It's what I'm making, actually. Though it's on hardcore, so we can't afford Infinity and goodies of that caliber.

Lower Resists is a good idea. Thanks for that!

You can add elemental damage to your attacks by having a holy fire/frost/chock aura. The most popular way for an enchantress to achieve that is a Dream runeword helm and shield. Levels of granted auras from equipment stack and they benefit from the sorc's mastery skills (and if it's a melee attack, the mastery multiplier will be applied twice, as with enchant). That leads to massive fire+lightning damage (to be applied e.g. through zeal from the Passion runeword) and that's before conviction from the merc comes into play.
