Auras and +skills.

Can my merc's inherited Might aura be raised by +skills? And what about auras from items such as Pride and Infinity?

Yes, I believe Act 2 merc aura's can be boosted, and I believe they are also considered paladins, so +pally skills will work. I believe +skills effect auras, they affect oskills, so why not auras? :smiley:

They're not paladins

They're not Paladins, but their auras can be increased with + skill items. However, "x" lvl aura when equipped items cannot be increased by wearing other + skill items.

But not pally skill items. For example a Griz Armor won't give you +2 defiance or prayer on an act2 merc.

Nope. Sorry.

There are three ways to increase skill levels on a Merc.

The first is generic "+all skills". Some examples would include the +2 Skills from a Spirit sword/shield, or the +4 skills from Arioc's Needle.

The second is +to a specific skill. If you give an A3 Lightning Merc a Charged Bolt Ormus' Robe, that would increase his level of Charged Bolt by +3.

The third is +fire skills (found on Hexfire), which will increase the skill levels of an A3 Fire merc.

+Paladin skills, +Sorceress skills, +amazon skills, +barb skills, +combat skills, +offensive auras, +lightning skills... none of these will work. Only the three above methods will increase a merc's skill level.

+Barb skills will work on an Act 5 merc. Give him an arreats.

+Zon and +Pal skills wont work because the rogues and desert warriors arent considered zons and paladins.

the other stuff is correct though. +to skills is the best way to boost your merc.
