Aura stacking?

If I had a Barb with Beast for Fanaticism, and an act 2 offensive merc for Might with Pride for Concentration aura, would I get all 3 auras, at the same time? Might + Fanat + Conc stack sounds insane..

Also, would Pride or Infinity be better? Pride adds Concentration aura for raw damage, Infinity adds Conviction for -% Def and Res.

Thanks in advance for any help.

After further research it appears the answer is yes, I can have might, fanat, and conc on at the same time. Now another: If I add Bramble to my merc can he have 3 auras going at once? I know there's a limit for mercs but I'm not sure what.

Two questions:
I know that if your character has the dream helm and dream shield, which each have lvl 15 holy shock, that would become lvl 30 holy shock. However, what if your mercenary also had the dream helm, would that together come to lvl 45 holy shock? So another version of that question is, if your character had lvl 21 thorns bramble, and same as your mercenary, would that equal lvl 42 thorns?

My other question is, is there no max to how much auras you can have at one time? like if you were a pally for instance, imagine you had your main aura, then beast(fantacism), bramble (thorns), exile (defiance), dream (holy shock)...that is 5 auras not including your merc...and with your merc, i bet you can get an extra 3 auras depending on your gear.

No - your aura (lvl 30) add lightning to your damage. And merc aura (lvl 15 is added to his damage)

My other question is, is there no max to how much auras you can have at one time? like if you were a pally for instance, imagine you had your main aura, then beast(fantacism), bramble (thorns), exile (defiance), dream (holy shock)...that is 5 auras not including your merc...and with your merc, i bet you can get an extra 3 auras depending on your gear.
You can get bonuses from 3 auras from your equipment/skills - for example palladin with dream - holy shock, doom - holy freeze, conviction - skill. Merc can have 2 auras active. Then If you use A2 merc you should give him only 1 item adding aura, another way 2 auras are active randomly and you have no controll. Nice that auras from items receive synergy bonuses from native A2 auras - Meditation from insight get synergy bonus if you are using Prayer merc (Norm Combat) - you get double healing from prayer and meditation.

If you are affected by few the same auras at the same time, you get bonuses from highest lvl aura only - if you use 2 Beast axes your fanatism is on lvl 18 - you do not get bonuses from A1 merc with Faith bow (lvl 12-15). If you have only 1 Beast (fanat lvl9) and the same merc, you got bonuses from bow aura - Beast aura does not affect.

Summary - you can have up to 5 auras active in 1 player game. Unfortunatelly most visible bonus from multiple auras is crashing games ;)
