Giant Thresher

4 comments 46356 views

Description

Another highly sought-after elite polearm base for Act II mercenaries. In terms of weapon speed and overall DPS, the

Giant Thresher is very similar to the

Thresher.

However, the

Giant Thresher has a few distinct differences, the most notable being its elevated strength and dexterity requirements (although a high level mercenary will have no trouble equipping it).

A

Giant Thresher can roll up to 6 open sockets, in contrast to a

Thresher's max roll of 5. Additionally, the

Giant Thresher's quality level (qlvl) 85 makes it among the rarest base drops in the game.

Ethereal Value(s)

If Ethereal:
2H Damage: 60-171

NB These are the perfect values possible for a level 99 character.

Max sockets by iLvl

Max sockets iLvl 1-25: 3
Max sockets iLvl 26-40: 4
Max sockets iLvl 41+: 6

This item's qLvl of 85 is higher than these iLvl ranges. Therefore it'll never spawn within the marked iLvl ranges, unless cubed to iLvl 1.

The relationships between iLvl, qLvl, and aLvl are explained here.

Giant Threshers range adder of 4 is not to be underestimated, letting mercenaries or players to hit from behind minions or target unique monsters through mob packs. With kiting and quick clicking you can even kill dolls as a melee character while staying out of their explosion range. If you have the strength and dex requirements you should go with

Giant Thresher over

Thresher every time.

Mod edit : No, range adder does not work on mercs. It does work if you self wield it though.

feel like it's worth noting that on most classes you want both one of these and a

Cryptic Axe for your endgame, need the cryptic to roll a 4s for Insight - i keep my Obedience

Thresher (normal

Thresher works if giant is hiding) in the shared stash 1) so i only need one 2) so i don't delete an uber spawn generating a mule game, the faster attack speed for crushing blow is huge on otherwise un-one-shottable health pools, but for taking out

Fallen and foul crows you want your merc to one hit wonder as many mobs as it can and get to a new/real target

Excelent base to do the main Act 2 Mercs runewords, such as Insight, Infinity, Obedience ans Pride. Has an excelent DPS and base speed but is much harder to drop comparing with

Thresher.
