Aura When Equipped

Aura When Equipped items allow players or hirelings equipping them (or an Iron Golem made from them) to supply auras. Aura level cannot be increased by skill bonuses, but equipping more than one item supplying the same aura will supply that aura at a level which is the sum of their levels, regardless of the items used: a Barbarian equipping two [[D2 Rune Word weapon#Lawbringer|Template:D2 Unique bold]] swords (Level 16-18 Sanctuary Aura When Equipped each) supplies level 32-36 Sanctuary. Auras receive passive bonuses including synergy bonuses, but they do not apply synergy bonuses.

Players can supply as many different auras from items as they are able to equip. However, items count as a separate source and will not enhance the same aura supplied by a Paladin or Act 2 hireling: only the higher level aura will be supplied (although radial damage of Holy Fire, Holy Freeze, Holy Shock and Sanctuary from both the Paladin and the items he equips will be applied).

Hirelings can also supply as many different auras from items as they are able to equip. However, when they are first equipped by a player in a game only the aura of the last item equipped will be supplied: if that item supplies no aura then no aura(s) will be supplied. The levels of multiple Aura When Equipped items will still supply that aura at a level which is the sum of their individual levels when one of them is equipped last by a player in a game. Fortunately, after death and resurrection or exiting and then entering a game all auras will be supplied. [1]
