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 its effect is divided by 5.
  • This means it only reduces 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 a 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 users 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 Larzuk - 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.
  • The best answer so far for the eternal question.
