If this is real, then I guess we found new Merc weapon !

[Sherlock]

There is no picture and Arreat News gives ? about details but someone published it on forums , but if this is real, can you imagine Act 2 Merc wearing Light Faceted Griffons + this Polearm :

Infinity
4 Socket Polearms
Ber + Mal + Ber + Ist

50% Chance to Cast Level 20 Chain Lightning When You Kill an Enemy
Level 12 Conviction Aura When Equipped
+35% Faster Run/Walk
+305% Enhanced Damage (varies)
-49% to enemy Lightning Resistance (varies)
40% Chance of Crushing Blow
Prevent Heal
0 to Vitality (Based on Character Level)
30% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
Level 21 Cyclone Armor (?/30 Charges)

This was posted on BNet forums,

I mean lets see :

1. Griffons + Facet = -25 Light Res
2. -49pct from Polearm
3. Lvl 12 Conviction Aura -85pct all resists, -83pct def

I guess any Magezon, either Light Java/Spear, or Cold/Immo Zon can have use of this Merc !

I guess we will just let our Act 2 Merc kill Diablo Clone :clap:

Yummy! but the runes for it is too expensive. 2 Ber. no joke man! :P

[dnmorton]

the conviction is gravy, but the -49% enemy res only applies to lightning damage from the merc, not you....
same for the griffon's eye....

Yep , of course I know that ! Merc alone will be able with this combination to break imunity of Lightning Imune monsters and we will have use just of his Conviction aura ! Anyway, main problem for Infinity / Griffon (or anti-Lightning ) Merc would be lack of Leech.

Too bad this is not for Spears as well ! Can you imagine Infinity in Matri Spear and CS/Power Strike fully synergized :))) !!???!!! Blizard made same mistake as with Crescent Moon RW - again Polearms but not Spears :(((

But Infinity runes are realy really expensive !

[Decker]

Uh what's the point of having a bunch of -light res equipment when his attacks are physical? I love Conviction on my Javazon right now but as far as I can tell, my Merc does Physical damage not lightning :)

[S.O.S]

[resu]

[YogiRat]

Just a thought, dump the A2 and get a Barb, and equip him with a Lawbringer sword.

20% Chance To Cast Level 15 Decripify On Striking
Level 18 Sanctuary Aura When Equipped
-50% Target Defense
Adds 150-210 Fire Damage
Adds 130-180 Cold Damage
7% Life Stolen Per Hit
Slain Monsters Rest In Peace
+200-250 Defense Vs. Missile (varies)
+10 To Dexterity
75% Extra Gold From Monsters

cheap runes too!

[frend? or foe!]

try hireing a act 1 rogue and stick a faith bow on her!

[LovelyGods]
