The best Infinity base is a Mancatcher. Here's why! A Colossus Voulge merc has an 8-frame Jab at baseline, and the Mancatcher merc has a 6-frame Jab at baseline, making the Mancatcher attack around 33% faster. When given an additional +35% IAS through the Helmet (Andariel's Visage socketed with an IAS Jewel) the Colossus Voulge merc reaches a 6-frame Jab, and the Mancatcher merc reaches a 5-frame Jab, making the Mancatcher 20% faster overall. With the same +35% IAS headgear, cursed by Decrepify, the Colossus Voulge merc will have a 10.5 frame Jab, and the Mancatcher merc will have a 7.5 frame Jab, making Mancatcher 40% faster. Without the headgear, cursed by Decrepify, the Colossus Voulge merc will have an 18-frame Jab, and the Mancatcher merc will have a 10.5 frame Jab, making Mancatcher just over 71% faster. You may not notice 20% more frequent Crushing Blow procs under normal conditions, but you will definitely notice the 40% more when cursed by Decrepify.

its a year after, but the reason that you want high damage is that the faster the Merc can kill stuff, the more he will stay alive. The idea is not for him to help kill enemies, but rather for him to stay alive and keep your aura, and the first goal of gearing your merc is survivability. The idea here of course is high damage and fast attack speed with LOH

Not if you're trying to proc Crushing Blow as often as possible. The king of CB is the Mancatcher by about 20-33% depending on whether you're hitting a 5-frame or a 4.5-frame Jab. CA and CV are only at a 6-frame Jab at +35% IAS. CA and CV should be chosen if you want a Merc that is more capable of killing smaller, non-boss monsters, but if your merc is doing that for you then you're not built properly for grinding.

I made my first Infinity in a Stygian Pike, yes you read that right. Some guy in trade recommended me, I said you are crazy, but he showed me his Infinity and it was really in that pike. He further said it's only one frame behind Mancatcher. So I looked at the frames in all bases on maxroll and compared it with the dmg. I am aware that the IAS calculation is not too precise on there. But for what I was seeing, that guy was right. So, Stygian Pike it is.

Жыл бұрын
Using Stygian Pike for Infinity over a Colossus Voulge allows you to forego socketing your Andariel's Visage with an IAS jewel in order to hit the 6-frame Jab breakpoint, at the cost of raw base damage. The Stygian Pike only requires +20% IAS whereas the CV requires +35% IAS for a 6-frame Jab, meaning the helmet's innate +20% IAS alone is enough, and you can socket a Ral or something more useful into it, rather than the IAS jewel.... however, the only rationale (in my humble opinion) for using a base other than Mancatcher is if your goal is to have the highest possible raw damage number, to help your merc one-shot monsters with small health pools, in which case you'd choose the Colossus Voulge, but for every Unique monster or boss you should try to proc Crushing Blow as frequently as possible, in which case you should choose neither the Stygian Pike nor the Colossus Voulge- for that you'd choose the Mancatcher. The Mancatcher actually has a 6-frame Jab at baseline, and reaches a 5-frame Jab at +26% IAS. You can reach a 4.5-frame Jab (fastest possible with Infinity) by using Treachery for the chest piece. So in the best case scenario, Mancatcher can net you between 20-33% more Crushing Blow (at 5-frames and 4.5-frames respectively), and when your Merc is cursed with Decrepify or slowed by cold, that percentage is even higher. So yeah Stygian Pike and CV are only 1 or 1.5 frames slower than the Mancatcher, but when you're talking about a 6 frame attack versus a 4.5 frame attack, that's a 33% increase in DPS. Frames don't correlate linearly to DPS. Each frame lower gives you multiplicatively more DPS. The difference between a 2-frame attack and a 1-frame attack is +100% DPS. The difference between a 3-frame attack and a 2-frame attack is +50% DPS, 4/3 is +33%, 5/4 is +25%, 6/5 is +20%, and so the trend goes on.

In the case of the Summon Necro, it's probably better to go with an Eth Reaper's Toll, or an Eth Tomb Reaver, rather than either Insight or Infinity. Neither runeword is really necessary for that build, unless you lack mana per kill, or need the Insight to sustain teleporting with Enigma. It may still be smarter to summon an Iron Golem out of an Insight, and let your Merc carry a bigger boomstick.

There is a differences between the pole axes/spears Each effect the game play very slightly. Where it can effects the players actions is on gold / potions / and having to reset your mercenary position. Each weapon base will change the way the Mercenary will deal damage and with the combination of Life leach and the variations of attack speeds. This is what effects what makes the decision what is the best weapon to choose for the Runeword Infinity. The Over all Experience will be the same, if you are just looking for the Stats from the Runeword. then you don't need to worry about the Weapon base other then the stats required to use it, but if you want to not have issues with the gold/potions/resetting player position then you want to get from the list below. Sustain for a Mercenary is based on Damage Dealt, Life Leach % and Attacks Speed. What Combination makes the choice matter for the Weapon base. Damage dealt is important (Ethereal), and the Min Damage Value (Better Averages). The Attack Speed of the Base Item Effects the number of attacks the Merc Jabs Spell(So faster "can be" better). This is why understanding Point Breaks for the Merc is more important, example being imgur.com/SDI5f9H but you can google to see other all the options out there. The actual damage output to the over all monsters base isn't really the problem or important in this situation, it's only a small factor. Sure, you can be optimized but if your Merc is having issues surviving, this means the attack speed isn't high enough so the mercenary can sustain itself in dense packs or whenever it is soloing mobs whenever lets say has amp damage effect on him. For sustain the Three best options for there survival is the Thresher/ Giant Thresher / Manchater.

if you ever play competitively, then your merc's crushing blow trigger frequency does very much matter. especially if you want to help someone reach level 99 first in ladder mode (or if you are the one competing). if you need to prepare players 8 diablo in under 30 seconds (or kill him as fast as possible) and your group is doing 500+ baalruns a day, then even a few seconds less due to a good merc setup saves a ton of time per day. if you play in singleplayer or just casually, then nothing really matters. do as you like and enjoy the game. btw in my experience in the european realm most people prefer the giant thresher over the regular one due to more consistent damage (the thresher's min dmg is less than 10 % of the max dmg). but seeing how it's a tc 87 item, it's very rare to get one eth 4 sox in early ladder. so most people just go with the regular thresher as a sub.

Now but what about additional damage your merc would do, answer is simple most of damage comes from crashing blow and difference is about 10% damage output . And if only mercenary would kill all bosses for me, I would gain 10% speed. So for that base I would need to play for couple days and hopefully get one….meaning I would not gain in 50 days ANY BENEFITS. So chill. Just put runewors in the right order Ber Ist Ber Mal. Cheers.

Despite my opinion, I definitely take advantage of finding great poleaxes, giant threshers in the trade market. People will pay absurd amounts for those 2 especially if they have any ED on them.

I was in your shoes a few months ago, so I grinded the Cows for a few hours every day on Players 5 with my Nova Sorc, and got really lucky with 2 Ber within 12 days of each other. I really recommend the cows!!!

What about self wielding a scythe as nova sorc and putting insight on merc to counter mana problems.

What about Insight in bows? I also thought you could roll Infinity in spears now?

I prefer threshers for insight and mancatcher for infinity. Get that insight plus to crit as high as you can because the life steal on crits keeps waheed alive.

Infinity is a hard choice for merc obviously eth mancatcher, but I wouldn't advise eth for a spearzon, unless you're really too wealthy. And obviously a nova sorc needs a normal base with style points, usable without any extra points in str/dex.

Treachery and Andy's pretty much works for me. I have an infinity in an eth Cryptic Axe for my sorceress. The conviction aura makes my sorc so strong it doesn't even really matter. I'm using a fire/blizz hybrid and it works pretty nicely

Colossus voulge has always been a dumb choice. 210 str requirement means your merc wont be able to use the item until your character is basically already completed.

Bro, I simply love all these guides and tips about Diablo. I love this game and I play the hell out of it. But the game is so complex and deep, that having a much more experience person guiding me to a better path is always good and even makes the game more fun

I have been waiting for a better base for my infinity. I have a eth Colossus voluge. Just sitting around so i guess i should just make it in that. Its better than waiting forever or spending too much.

I would advise not to make it in the CV. The strength req is too high and lowers trade value

You should be able to find a 4 OS eth Mancatcher far faster than a high rune. If you find them unsocketed, roll it for sockets in the cube. I would definitely recommend an eth Mancatcher over anything else, if you're putting it on an Act 2 Merc!

Ive seen a few arguements over infinity in thresh/giant thresh vs mancatcher. T/GT needs 75 ias (treachery, ias jeweled andys) mancatcher needs 52 (treachery, andys). Mancatcher gets a free helm socket and T/GT people are typically looking for that expensive fire res ias jewel
