It lowers resistances to light/fire/cold and defense of enemies within 13 yards radius by -85% (-5% per level). Infinity grants level 12 Conviction when equipped (Paladin aura usable by any class). There are no Ladder-only runewords in D2R, you can make everything on NLD. This runeword can be made only on Ladder but it is obtainable on Non-Ladder via trade because all Ladder characters convert to NLD after reset. *Ethereal items used by a mercenary do not lose durability. +(0.5 Per Character Level) +0.5-49.5 To Vitality (Based On Character Level) Two-Hand Damage: (173-215) To (798-990) ĥ0% Chance To Cast Level 20 Chain Lightning When You Kill An Enemy

We are talking almost 1k fg difference in merc gear, mostly irrelevant for pvm and useless for pvp. For the investment going from a Andy+Ral Treachery and GPA to Andy + 30fr/15ias Treachery and GT you can gear up things elsewhere that will make a wayyyy more impact than this. I might add that if you're ending up at 80ias, go GT if you can afford it, otherwise just take a GPA and call it a day.Įdit 2 : getting a 30fr 15ias jewel is really expensive, more than 500fg, and so is a GT at over 700fg.

the image is way more badass than all other polearms (subjective)Įdit : added 80ias breakpoint average damage difference.

it has more balanced min/max than Thresher,.

I think going with a GPA is better because At 80ias it is only 7 average damage more than Giant Thresher. At 65ias GPA is 42 more average damage than Giant Thresher. Then again, will this make a huge difference vs the higher average damage of GPA weapon? I didnt do the math but I know that crushing blow has diminishing returns when health is low, therefor maybe having higher average damage makes up for it. Why Giant Thresher/Thresher are better with 1 frame faster is because it will trigger Infinity Crushing Blow and Treachery Venom more often. If you are talking only in terms of DPS, then GPA is the best at all ias breakpoints listed above except at 35ias where Cryptic Axe is better by 17 average damage (only weapon damage, not taking into account any other modifiers).
