i think its for a melee char's/hdins merc, since infinity is the one and only for elemental damage dealers.

2 skills boost native aura, thats good
ow+pmh -> does it work on merc ? if so, its great for uberruns
freezes target: dont know how good this works ?
-40-60 cold res. hmm put gaze on him ^^
deadly strike is not as useful as crushing blow, right ?
45 ias on a +10 wias weapon hmm, dont know merc breakpoints atm, no time to check
loads of ed. the min damage on mine is like 2xx. max something with 1xxx.

well it lacks leech. in my experience 10 or so is enough, but dont know .


comments please!

its a wonderful merc weapon, you can use a tal rasha helm for the leech, or an andyface if you are richer (haha real word?)

whats the character using the merc?

 

[funpop]

atm i only play javazon, so i go with infinity. i got some hr's from a deal and thats my way to perm!

i have to decide if i use it myself, or sell it here. dunno, propably ill sell it, because i not gonna make a new char soon.

would be cool for fanazeal, maybe ww barb, bowazon that doesnt use faith merc. i think its best on a might merc for melee or defiance/prayer for hdin ?!

 

[adecoy]

well if you want a merc that EVERYTHING attacks, thats your man, so its the best for avoid being attacked yourself.

seriously, that doom is like a friggin, kill me sign -.-

 

[Dondrei]

Doom is nice, no leech or crushing but that holy freeze aura, damage and IAS is good.

 

[Jackson1]

Yeah... pretty good weapon. I used to have one myself. =)

OW works, PMH doesn't for mercs. Still, OW stops monster regeneration just like PMH does, for 8 seconds at a time.

AFAIK Deadly Strike doesn't work on mercs either. oh well.

Freezes Target does exactly that, freezes monsters that your merc hits, like Ice Blast does.

Sure, the pulse attracts monsters to your merc, but that's a good thing! That means less heat on your tail, and all the monsters are slowed to a crawl anyway.

 

[adecoy]

never said it was bad, well... meh, i have lost too many act 2 mercs to pissed off councle members on my pally to be so shure anymore

definatly depends on the char! ill take a aura spitter any day for say, my javazon or my sorc, but my holy freeze pride a2 merc just dosent deserve to die like that

but yes it is totally a good thing, to have the merc take the heat, unless its extreme circumstances.... but those are rare. they can be "-.-" material tho :laugh:

 

[Dondrei]

Deadly doesn't work on mercs? Aww, that sucks.

PMH doesn't work on any of the six Pandemonium Ubers anyway so there's no point in yaying or naying a merc item based on that.

PMH doesn't work on any of the six Pandemonium Ubers anyway so there's no point in yaying or naying a merc item based on that.

Plus the fact that he won't last long enough to even get the PMH thing going (if it indeed worked on ubers) That boy will be dead withing seconds once you get some action going in uber trist.
