pride for ig?

[imanoobersmiter]

i was thinking last night and i was looking through my stash i found i have a pride great poleax sitting in my stash from when i thought i wanted that (till i found out a bit too late about the cold dmg) anyways i was wondering if it would be worth making an ig outta and how the auras would stack with the might and conviction of my merc how much dmg would this increase my merc and my skellys?

I have a Merc (for my summoner) thats been running with Pride/Bramble for months now. I was initially amazed at how much it speeded up the skellies and minions...and then I started getting annoyed.

The feezes target mod makes me want to scream sometimes, especially when you are trying to start an army. The merc shatters quite a few of his enemies, leaving no corpse...which is not as big a problem when you have lots of skellies, but I've found it is a substantial problem.

The bigger problem is the blind target Mod. It overrides my curses (continually) making things harder.

It also has no crushing blow, and since I have Beast on my Necro (and a Might Merc) the skellies already have a lot of damage.

I've decided to switch to Infinity, since I have maxed mages and I have a preference to reviving Gloams and pit lords and other monsters with nasty elemental attacks. Infin also has crushing blow and more overall damage for the merc.

I might stick with the bramble on the merc just because it is so cool to see 45 minions with thorns aura.

Hope that helps ya.
