Description

Infinity is a favored runeword that is considered best in slot for Act 2 Mercenaries when built in an appropriate base polearm, because of its potent Conviction aura.

Key details

  • The Conviction aura reduces enemy resistance by -85%. but against immune monsters it's divide by 5.
  • Meaning it only reduce resistance by -17% against immunities.
  • The Conviction aura can break immunities from monsters with max 116% resistance.
  • The -(45-55)% To Enemy Lightning Resistance on Infinity doesn't work for the player while equipped on mercenary.
  • Lightning immune monsters are the easiest to break because most of the time they have 105/110/115% Lightning resistance.
  • As of Patch 2.4, Infinity can also be built in any Spear, including Amazon Spears.

D2Emu Tips

  • Two important bits to consider that new user's might not be aware of: Infinity's Conviction aura does not affect Physical, Poison or Magic damage.
  • Some use a Colossus Voulge, because it is easier to obtain the guaranteed 4 sockets through Lazruk - however, it is not the perfect base for a mercenary (high requirements, so you cannot use it before your mercenary is ~LVL90 and slow attack speed, minimizing DPS), thereby potentially reducing the re-sell value.
  • There is a bug in the game when facing an enemy with level 12 Conviction aura, the negative effect of the enemy's aura persists on you (or your mercenary) until you take Infinity off and put it back on.
  • The Infinity/ Conviction bug is not an issue anymore as per patch 2.8.0:...
  • Infinity is BiS for an Act 2 mercenary if you are using an elemental damage dealing build like a Lightning Sorceress.
  • Important note here for choosin the proper base for your Infinity: To maximize the dps and crush/ps you choose Thresher or Giant Thresher base - but to benefit from it, Andariel's Visage your mercenary's wearin MUST include 15%ias jewel - to reach off-weapon ias 35% with Fortitude or 80% with Treachery.
  • The best answer so far for the eternal question.
