Natural Defiance vs. Exile Defiance

[Ajax]

In 1.10 Holy Shield's defence bonus applies to all gear not just the shield

Didn't know that one, thanks.

Also 3 second pulses have been changed to 2 second pulses and of course auras don't stick (or hardly stick) so aura flashing is gone

Hm.... I knew that the 3 second pulses had been made more frequent and therefore aura "sticking" was not practical. But is it really aura "sticking" if you have multiple auras active at once? It seems like two different situations here. You're not switching back and forth between auras--both are active simultaneously. And the aura rotation beneath your feet is only an in-game reminder you have multiple auras active. (Just like if a Barb. you're partied with casts Battle Orders on your Paly. Your extra HP and Mana don't go away when the Battle Orders graphic at your feet cycles with your own aura.)

I just assumed it should be similar with auras from the runewords. Am I mistaken here? (I have low confidence in my understanding of game mechanics after my previous post about the AC of the runewords :))

Anyone?
