What do people use 15 ias/Fire res jewels for?

I see people buying these jewels at high prices, I'm not sure what they're used for?

I mean, I know they're used to attack faster and to

Resist Fire more, but... Why do people need that?

The IAS hints at a physical build, but which physical build need fire resistance that much, so much that they're willing to pass on 40% ED for it, rather than getting it from charms and stuff?

(I also thought about trap sin, but same question, why do they need fire res so much? Or is it because there's nothing else worth having on a jewel?)

its mostly used in an adariels visage to cancel out the -30 fire resist

it is not for character.. they use that jwl for mercenary

Helm, especially for andy visage because it has -30 fire rez.

I want it so my merc doesnt get toasted by

Infector of Souls when he spawns with

Conviction aura. Fire res also good for people who run Travs

That and there's a few character build combinations that want jewels like that because fire happens to be left out of certain high res additions. Spirit for example adds 35 to anything but fire so if everything else adds to all res across the board, you end up with everything capped..except for fire. That then leaves either a jewel like this or charms.

I would agree with you but Spirit is mostly use for caster builds, whereas ias jewel tend to be for melee builds.. I get what you mean, but Spirit is a bit counterproductive in that exemple imho

Eth. perfect Andys + 15 IAS/30FRes is considered Best-In-Slot for Mercs. All said.

I'm not wholly sure which of the two is more rare/expansive, but they are in the same league.

PS: I was quite shocked myself figuring this out, after I found a 15IAS/28FRes jewel.

I believe it’s just the pursuit of perfection with 15/30

Previously used a 15/19 merc all res alr 75
