Description

Another highly sought-after elite polearm base for Act II mercenaries.

Key details

  • In terms of weapon speed and overall DPS, the Giant Thresher is very much like the Thresher.
  • Still, the Giant Thresher has a few distinct differences, the most notable being its elevated strength and dexterity requirements (while 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.

D2Emu Tips

  • The Giant Thresher has the highest total attribute requirements of any base item in the game.
  • 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…
  • Excelent base to do the main Act 2 mercenaries runewords, such as Insight, Infinity, Obedience ans Pride.
  • The Lord of Destruction expansion pack has been out for more than two decades and I am still unsure if this item is a Thresher that is giant, a Thresher for giants, or a tool with which to thresh giants.
