Infinity Pally

[WaynesWorld]

What would everyone think about a Pally that has max Res. Light, Cold and Fire with max salvation and Max Vengeance while using infinity on the merc.

you can always have salvation and convict on and do crazy damage with vengeance. you can also turn this into an auradin if you choose.

To be brutally honest? Not great.

Infinity grants level 12 conviction. A reduction of targets resistances of 85% compared to level 25 conviction of 150%. 85% has no hope of breaking any immunities as well as not sending too many monsters resistances into the negatives. Given that in hell, monsters have the same resistance set up as your character, that is can be as low as -100%, that's a big advantage.

Every point in Conviction equals 5% extra damage in one way or another. Every point in salvation or a synergy only offers 2% and 3.33%.
I think you'd be better off with the +2 to skills from a Chains of Honor with one of those Ber's from infinity. After all, +2 skills is an extra 12% vengeance damage and helps pump conviction up to level 25 easily leaving more skill points for the synergies.

Btw, Welcome to the forum!

85% has many hopes of breaking immunities. At least lightning immunes.

And comparing -5% enemy resistance to +2% damage is kinda hard, since they both don't diractly add, but are multiplied and depend on the enemies resistane and stack with some things etc.

Still, weaking your conviction and using up the merc weapon spot isn't worth having salvation and saving skill points imo, even if the avenger is very skill-tight

I had a dream/dragon/holy freeze + infinity merc and didn't like it because the merc didn't always keep up with me.

Having conviction on yourself is far superior.
