To give, or not to give...

...an Infinity to my meteorbers mercenary? Saving up for it, but is it really worth it? Many people say its not going to break the imunes of those fire/cold imunes...

ALSO. I run andy/mephisto in 8 player games. Anyone has some advice how to keep my merc tanking them? In 8 player games it is really hard, but also interesting :cool:

Even though Infinity can't break most cold immunes, I still use one on my merc for my meteorb. I did it for few reasons:
1) It does lower the fire resist of monsters that are not fire immune.
2) It has high dmg, making my merc to do 1k-6k.
3) It has 40% crushing blow.
4) It's party-friendly if you join public games with other chars doing elemental dmg.
5) My meteorb has no mana problem, so I don't need an Insight. My merc has no leeching problem, so no need for reaper's toll. Obedience doesn't do much more dmg either. So I can't think of another weapon for my merc anyway.
6) I made the Infinity myself, so might as well use it:)

I'm torn on this aspect. I'd go with no, because I don't find Hybrid sorcs to be all that powerful, meaning they would waste it =D. I run Infinity on my FA/Fire zon and it can break some immunities, but most of the time it won't break all Fire/Cold on High end monsters.

I could see this being of some use against Andy. That punk is weak against Fire and dropping the resistances more? Well, she'd go down fast. Meph? If you are decked out, you may be able to keep the merc alive. If you are MF equipped, I'd say-hope you have the 50K ready.

Merc needs life, defence, leech (except on Meph, doesn't work), resistances, wonder of wonders damage, FHR and CBF. If you are close to Infinity, get it. Worse come to worse make a new character who will make better use of it.

A light sorc can probably make much better use of it, or a javazon.

As above post, light sorc would probably make better use of it.

However, you cannot deny the fact that a meteorber will be a good bit more effective with it. -Res does wonder for any element, including meteors.

I guess the question should be rephrased like this. If you have only one Infinity and several main chars including lite sorc or trap sin, then certainly don't waste the Infinity on your meteorb. If you have only one meteorb char to equip, and you have several weapons to choose from including Infinity, then it's not a bad choice at all.

The situation is, i want to make a uber leet meteorber :laugh: And i want to get her all of the best items. Btw light sorcs, javas and trappers with infinity are so common... I dont like being like everybody else :azn:

should do lightnig + fire hybrid then =P

Although it would (as stated before) be more effective with a light/fire sorc it will still make a noticable difference with a meteorb. If your dual tree you dont need it to break immunities (which it does a crappy job of anyways), you just really need that lower enemy fire res on cold immunes. I had one on my last meteorb and I loved it.
