stacking auras - does it work?

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

I've got a level 36 Barb and a rogue merc.

He has about level 20 battle orders and also found a ring of
engagement that gives a low level aura of Might.

the rogue has a bow which grants a level 15 of Thorns.
I've noticed that my two characters seem to exhibit the graphic
patterns of thorns OR battle orders, never both at once, but this
leads me to believe that at least those two are working.

Are they working simultaneously or alternately?

What about the Might aura? the graphic for it, the orange glow, never
shows up. Is it impossible to stack auras? Should I not even bother
with it?

You have a random magic ring that gives a paladin aura? I didn't know that
was a possible affix or suffix, unless you are playing a mod in which case
anything is possible.

Unless Blizzard has increased the possible affixes and suffixes, to include
this sort of thing, I recall getting a ring with 50 over 5 poison damage and
from what I have read rings aren't supposed to get more than 2-7 over 3
poison.

IIRC,

the most recent casting of the BC, BO and Shout will be active. So, a
lower level BO will override the higher level.

unsure of why one character couldn't provide two auras.

usuallly, for the same aura the higher level aura has effect.

what Brian said.

A Ring of Blight gives 50 poison over 3 seconds. I have got two of
them, found by normal means. I just don't know which character could
use them, as Hell has so many monsters with elemental attacks, that I
always have to apply double scintillating rings, only to survive.

Between my barb and his merc, the auras stacked are pretty heavy.
Thorns, prayer, BO, BC, shout, cleansing, holy freeze, and conviction.
I rarely see any of the auras except for the ones from BC, BO and shout.
But I know they are there, monsters get frozen from holy freeze with the
conviction aura under them. Neither my barb or merc stay poisoned or
cursed for very long, although I don't see the prayer and cleansing
auras. I know the thorns is kicking in because in the rare instances
when a melee monster actually gets to hit either one, you see the
animation kick in.

Every once in a while, either before I've cast BO etc. you see the
other auras but once BC BO and shout are cast those auras seem to
override everything else graphically.
So stack away!!!

I think only if they are from the same character.

It's just the way the game chooses to display which aura's are active, it
cycles through them to show which ones are active.

Both Fanaticism and Blessed Aim are active at the same time for your
character.

(I, however, know of no runeword or unique Gothic Shield which provides
the Blessed Aim aura... Is this in CE Mod?)
