sometimes my act 2 merc just doesnt feel like using his aura for a few minutes. seems like it shouldnt be like that.
has been like this from the start since classic d2. i admit would be cool if mercs automatically had their aura up when the game began but it is unnecessary, not worth blizz paying someone to code this into the game when there are plenty of other pressing issues. plus from my experience it doesn’t take minutes, usually like 30 secs of teleporting around with my chars before it goes off… after that only becomes an issue if your merc keeps dying…
The merc needs to be slapped around a bit before he’ll get smart and turn it on.
Nah… Emilio prefers to run headlong into danger first, then turn his aura on when I need it the most… which is right before he dies.

Merc auras are seen as an attack by the ai. They will not activate it until the ai decides to cast it. At higher levels they tend to use Jab more than the aura so sometimes it can take a while for them to actually activate it.
