My A2 Nightmare mercenary changed aura’s from Might to Blessed Aim. I’ve hired 2 Act 2 mercs with the Might aura on my now level 70 sorc. While his aura’s aesthetic (aura graphic of gold triangles around his feet and mine) is still the might aesthetic, the Mercenary screen (key ‘o’) changed to Blessed Aim (icon of small square, larger circle, larger gear circle and states "Blessed Aim - When active, aura increases the attack rating for you and your party - Current skill level: 16, etc.). I don’t know what I’m getting, but I hope it’s Might aura with this merc. As a software analyst, this is clearly a bug to me. Please address. Thank you.
16 days later and nothing…I just posted this same thing yesterday. Over two weeks and you haven’t gotten a reply ?
It’s a minor bug, as OP states, the tooltip changes but not the aura. All of my mercs have the same problem, you hire might in nightmare and the tooltip changes to blessed aim in hell, but the aura that the merc uses remains might. Some people say that aura itself also changes, but I haven’t seen any screenshots of that, I’ve tried to hire various mercs in act 2 and all auras were functioning properly for me.
In some games it is just visual. Just had one where it said defiance in his menu but he did use holy freeze. But sometimes he does not use holy freeze at all. It is very anoying and can be quite dangerous in hardcore. Especially not knowing when it will work properly.
