Is the IAS shared to all party member? Was wondering if an act1 merc with
Faith would give me 30+ ias, since reading Arreat Summit's website it's not
clear whether the IAS is shared or not.

The IAS is fully shared, the attack rating boost is fully shared, and the
damage boost is shared at 50% effectiveness.

Be aware that Fana has a fairly short range though, and(esp if you're melee)
it's not uncommon for act 1 mercs to walk far enough away that you're no
longer in range of the aura.

That's interesting, so the question now is, what are the dimensions of the
diablo window (800x600) in yards?

That was a picture from a subject on the diii forums:

They also talk about radius versus diameter, from what I read,
some skills mention radius while it should be diameter.

Hope this helps.

regards,
Marcel

Thank you very much. It does seems like Faith's 12-15 fanaticism has a
borderline radius, considering that, as Shiflet said, an act 1 merc is often
a bit far from a melee character.

Another question regarding another aura; Sanctuary (given by Azurewrath or
Lawbringer), according to Arreat Summit, works on super unique undead
monsters, but not on bosses. But, AFAIK, there are no undead bosses in the
game... am I wrong?

I think that all of the Act Bosses would be classified as demons, so
perhaps it is redundant, but it is nice to have it spelled out up front
when you are character building, which skills are and are not going to
help you defeat Duriel, for example.

New game!

It's not uncommon for an act 1 merc to:

-walk far enough away, and in a circle, to activate two or three boss packs
at once.

-walk far enough away that by the time she gets back the monsters are dead
anyway.
