Merc additional auras question

I am about to make a Zeal pally, im going to max out Fanaticism and get it to a point it will be at lvl 34 (with items). I have 2 merc options:
1) Act 2 merc with an eth pride, witch will give me a Concentration aura.
2) Act 1 merc witch faith, witch will give me a Fanaticism aura.
The way i see it, (and based on past experience with a hammer pally and Concentration auras), the Fanaticism aura from the faith bow will not give me any additional damage, (unlike having dream helm and shield).
I would like to know whether im right.

The fanaticism auras will not stack...I think so at least..

Try an nm offensive act2 might merc with pride on...which will give u 3 auras..Dont know if it will increase ur dam or not though. But its an idea

[lordx]

Lvl 34 fanaticism? A bit of an overkill,you may be sacrificing useful mods from items to boost your fana here.

that's what i think too
also...holy freeze in practice is much more useful than might aura
you're increasing your survivability by a huge factor
unless you're using a huge damage 2 hander, the ~200% ed only gives about 1k+ max damage increase
you won't really notice a difference

it's all about the screenshot

for pvm though, a defensive normal or hell mercenary (defiance) with doom (holyfreeze) poleaxe + fortitude + helmet of your choice will be your best bet

nothing will touch you except yourself (IM)

My gear is going to be:
Armor - 15% ed 10% du Hellforge Plate Fort.
Helm - 13% ed 13% du 18 all resist dream Bone Visage.
Belt - Uped Snowclash
Boots - Uped Gore Riders
Gloves - Dracul's Grasp
Ring - 20 dex 227 AR Raven Frost
Ring - All resist/LL (not sure about the stats yet)
Amy - +2 pally off auras/+19 all resist/other modes
Weapon - Doom Berserker Axe.
Shield - 38 base resist Phoenix virtex shield (almost perf)
(and 7x pally off gc's, anni and ptorch).
All of these +max Fan will give me will give me a 35 lvl Fan aura.

dude, what's your base strength
and you've never actually used sup dura items before, have you?

good luck on the repair bills ^ ^

 

[lordx]

Havent made the pally yet, only got the gear so far.
I have use du items and "repair bills" - i have about 10 mil in gold a more then enough rals.
But thanx for the concern :-/

 

[DEA]

it's just exceeding irritating to have to pick up random pieces of 35k junkers just to repair your gear
and rals, pls, those babies go for currency >.<
i stashed my 15ed great hauberk because it was costing me 60+k per run

 

[lordx]

I keep doing chaos runs with my pally, up to the point that now i dont have anu more mules/chars to keep gold, so i dont really mind repairing my gear every now and again.
