Infinity for fire sorc

[comicalflop]

Inifnity is the choice for lightning sorcs all the way. but does a fire sorc benefit as much from a merc wearing infinity? I have a 27 fire sorc that I plan on using for mfing and I'm wondering if I should get infinity cuz I hate immunes and wondered if infinity is as beneficial for fire as lightning. I also hate hybriding, so I'd like to make a pure fire, would this work or does infinity only work for light builds?

If you can afford it, do it. As far as I can tell, fire immune monsters in the pit, tunnels and chaos sanctuary lose their immunities with conviction, and Andariel, being already weak to fire, will just be a goner.

Infinity on your merc works just as good for every sorc. Infinity only benefits light sorces more if the sorc actually wears it. The only monsters I can think of that you will not be able to break their fire immunity is the Minions of Destruction at Baal's Throne.

Infinity works HORRIBLY for cold sorces. The vast majority of cold immunes cannot be broken.

Thanks that answers my question.
I'm wondering now what I should do for gear, I read the section of tal's vs. shako/hoto and was wondering which route to go, figuring for MF runs and rushes
Full Tal's=more MF, more life less mana, 10% less fcr, less +skills, More damage due to +masteries and -% resistances
Hoto/Shako=less mf, more mana less life, 10% FCR, more +skills, less damage, won't be called noobish
And since I MF mostly in solo games, and I will have infinity on merc, will it be nescessary to get +fire gc's, knowing I will have a storch and anni?

Why would you MF with a fire sorc? hahaha

Because nobody relle does it, I like to be unique every once in a while
Fireball's splash damage is pretty good, and with infinity removing immunities shouldn't be a problem
and I'll have access to static field anyway, so bosses are no biggie and infinity takes care of most immunes.
Granted I realize a CL/FO or a pure light or meteorb would be better, but personally I don't like them. So pure fire it is.
