best option for Infinity

Hello All,

Playing around here a bit, just curious, is it better to have sorc have Infinity or Merc? I have the runes, but just wondering if it is better to self vs merc cause i have good base for sorc for self use, but would have to go shopping for a base for the merc.

Thoughts and feedback please.

Level 89 just went to

Nova sorc and liking it used to be fire balling, but run out of mana quick, and pretty squishy. Right now have 3 piece

Tal set with HOTO, and Spirit and griff eye, and two SOJ and I have mage fist or Trangs gloves can use either. Have sandstorm treks on

Boots. FCR is 140 which is way bonkers, and MF is 285, so she is my MF character.

Act 2 merc with freeze, currently reapers toll with

Shael, Trech, and Deliurim

Helm. (just playing around with it, but can get Andy visage with a

Ral in there too).

Thoughts.

Thanks for the support.

Thats depends if you build sorc using lighting tree skills or others, because despite of

Conviction aura you get -45-55% lightning resist reduce too and there is nothing more really usable for sorc to be honest.

You wrote that you planning change your build for fire, so you should looking for good etheral base for your merc then. Depends of your other gear for merc, preferable option are Threshers, because of -10 base speed, If you combine that with e.g. Treachery with +45% IAS you reach higher breakpoitn then with other bases.
Apart from that I think there are better combination for pure DPS, but faster attack for me equal consistency.

I am lighting tree now, and it is pretty fun been playing around TZ andy and been having fun will thanks for the feedback.

Self-wield Infinity and give your merc Insight.

Typical ES

Nova build with self-wield Infinity:

Griffon's Eye w/ Lightning Facet
Infinity

Skin of the Vipermagi w/ Lightning Facet

Sandstorm Trek

Magefist

Arachnid Mesh
2x

The Stone of Jordan

Caster Amulet with 2 sorc skills, 10FCR (this allows you to hit the 105FCR breakpoint), and ideally some PR or PLR

Act 2

Prayer Merc:
Cure
Insight
Fortitude

I don't know what I was thinking, sure, If you going with

Nova then @Knappogue wrote everything, only

Boots can be change for rare option with some resistance on them.

If you go

Energy Shield then you don't want rare

Boots. Only poison res gets through

Energy Shield.

Sandstorm Trek is the BiS with its 70% poison res.

Oh god, after reading your comment I just google it, that resistances don't reduce damage going to mana pool from ES... maybe I shouldn't commented topics about strategies and stay only "hydepark" zone.

And I need reconsider my current

Nova build ( ‾ʖ̫‾)
