Best fire Druid merc weapon?

So got my fire Druid into the end game, ready to respec to his final form. Just wondering what’s better for the merc’s weapon: Eth reaper’s toll, or Infinity?

He’s rocking the standard fire Druid gear, I may play with 1 respec and try the were bear earthshifter armegadon route for fun though

Here's my dru example:
Fire shifter, armag+fireclaw. (Merc - a2 holyfreeze, coh, infi). Gear: coh, Phoenix, Plague pb, mara, head can vary - Shako, jalal, Ravenlore, flicker with good mods. Magefist or lavagout/ Hellmouth, strings, aldur boot, carrion + Raven rings.
Pretty much straightforward build: you go out there, shift, seek for mobs, cast armag and move in (whack em when they burn).
Even without fire sunder, no problems at all - Conviction + LR proc from Plague is vicious. Phoenix adds to that ).
Considering sunder, Plague is less needed atm, so dual Phoenix also looks interesting (-56% massive Pierce from both hands, and stronger invigorate by aura - but a bit low swings, so Werewolf looks a bit better in this case.
Skills: max armag+fc, at least 5 Fissure (for 20 sec armag), the rest goes to Lycanthropy for life, and Firestorm/mb to boost damage.
GC's - either elems for better roasting, or ss if you prefer more tanky approach.
The only minus is clumsyness - as a shifter, you move on foot, no tele. Feels meh after you just swept a tz tombs with nigma-jumpin summoner

Neither, I use act 3 lightning merc to proc static.
Crescent Moon is the weapon, ideally Spirit/vmagi/ Eth griff are the rest but Monarch has high str req so currently i'm using random +str armor/head.

Well having tested both I can say Infinity is a much better merc weapon for the standard fire Druid.

But noname2 might be onto something and maybe a dual Crescent Moon act 5 Frenzy merc might be worth a try for the Static Field proc… idk

it's not for the proc from cmoon but the inherent static from merc skill. Act 3 light merc casts those very frequently, if u tele into packs. Cmoon only serves as -light res source.
With Armageddon your dmg is mixed fire+physical; either reaper or Infinity only amplifies 1 of those, and Infinity doesn't work very well vs sundered monsters. (only 17%, compared to 5% + at least 43% on yourself = about 33% amplified dmg) Infinity conv also has limited range vs druid fire skills that can cover entire screen.
Compared to static from act 3 merc which is very stable -50% health for all non light-immunes.
