Infinity lowers monster defence as well as resistances. So it's also useful for standard melee summons.
Real reason though is that all Necromancer builds always end up using Corpse Explosion which is 50% fire damage. For a mercenary weapon Infinity also does decent damage so all round good choice although there are other options.

Alright, thank you for the facts!
What other options would you consider? Pride?

Yes Pride is another option. I tend to also use Insight on Iron Golem so you can spam Corpse Explosion to your hearts content ;0. But from what I've read Clay Golem is the better tank.Jayeffex wrote: 10 months agooooh i forgot that Corpse Explosion does fire damage lol. didnt play for a while ahah.M1ck wrote: 10 months agoInfinity lowers monster defence as well as resistances.

Lots of viable options for this build...

Merc is your biggest damage dealer, so having a weapon with no enhanced damage / crushing blow is not a good idea. Also Pride has freezes target, which could destroy corpses so you cannot explode them.Jayeffex wrote: 10 months agooooh i forgot that Corpse Explosion does fire damage lol. didnt play for a while ahah.M1ck wrote: 10 months agoInfinity lowers monster defence as well as resistances.

I run an A1 Merc with Faith for my summon Necro. Is it BiS? No. Is it fun? Hell yes it is!
Any LoD trade I have can be move to RotW.
Will accept/substitute Statues for Jahs and 2 Keys for an Ist.

I remember that I made a comparison a while ago (on https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/), and for the Necro Summoner the Infinity's ( Conviction) defense reduction vs high defense monsters (like bosses) increases you overall Skeleton damage more than Pride ( Concentration) or Beast ( Fanaticism) 
Thank you guys for your help and feedback!
