Questions about 1.1 Auras

RE: Question for Isolde...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The paladin can have multiple auras going while wearing an item that grants an aura while equipped. The higher level aura takes precedence with regards to stat boosts, but both auras would be "on" for applied effects. If there were an item that grants holy fire, for example (not saying there is one), and you had holy fire enabled as your skill aura, you'd get the additional fire damage to your attack of the higher level aura, but both auras would "pulse" doing fire damage to enemies in a radius.

That's the theory anyway 

Hmm, the thorny problem I have with this "theory" (an odd thing to call an implementation detail/intention given who Isolde *is*) is that a group of Palys each running thorns, each wearing bramble, each with a2 merc running thorns, also each wearing bramble sounds awfully like either the theory doesn't "work" or the reflected damage is off the scale.

I've heard that Iron Maiden and Thorns and Spirit of Barbs all "stack" in the beta, so I wouldn't be totally surprised if it turned out to be the latter case.

A more likely answer would be that Thorns and Spirit of Barbs damage reflection are separate "stats", and you'll only get the highest boost for each stat, and no stacking from the above scenario.
