What auras do A2 mercs get in PTR?

General Discussion

So I know PTR is open and I was wondering what A2 mercs get for auras, the patch notes they can get all 6 auras but theres way more than 6. Just curious if they get the same aura as Infinity,I think conviction I cant remember the auras name

The PTR closed down on the 9th. The A2 merc auras in 2.4 are the same as they have been, but you now have access to all 6 of them in Nightmare and Hell difficulties.

Blessed Aim, Defiance, Holy Freeze, Might, Prayer, Thorns.

Aura options are Prayer, Thorns, Defiance, Holy Freeze, Blessed Aim and Might.

Currently you have to get the Prayer, Defiance, or Blessed Aim merc in normal or hell difficulty, and the Thorns, Holy freeze, and Might mercs are only available in nightmare. The new patch changes that and now all 6 are available in nm and hell.

Nope. Normal is the same. It’s mainly just a minor quality of life improvement. I can see why they didn’t allow all 6 in Normal. (early progression power creep)

" Developer Comments: The Desert Mercenary is already popular, but we saw an opportunity to add some quality-of-life improvements by allowing players to hire all six different Aura types in Nightmare and Hell difficulty, rather than having to switch between modes. With the general improvements to “Thorns,” we wanted to improve the level scaling to make this aura mercenary type more meaningful."

No, there are only 6. They can get the following auras:

  • Prayer
  • Blessed Aim
  • Defiance
  • Holy Freeze
  • Might
  • Thorns

The last 3 are not available on Normal, even in 2.4. Nightmare and Hell will have all 6 available.
