Help with my Infinity base

General Discussion
1

I’m excited to finally make my first infinity (14 years playing casually), i have three bases:

  • Eth Thresher
  • Eth Cryptic Axe
  • Eth Great Poleaxe

Which will be the best? should i find or buy another base? thanks

I’d pick Thresher simply because of attack speed, work that crushing blow!

Depends on his other gear.

Thresher + Treachery + Andys with a 15 ias/resist fire jewel.
Cryptic Axe + Fortitude + Andys with a 15 ias/resist fire.
Cryptic Axe + Treachery + Tal Mask with a 15 ias/ed.
Great Poleaxe + Treachery + Vamp Gaze with an Um.

Those would be the three options I’d run personally. Out of those I prefer the first for the CB and higher IAS. All three work well in different ways.

This almost. i would put cham in gaze…
And 15 ias 30 fire res in andys.

Yeah my bad on the andys jewel, was editing stuff and forgot to change, had a vamp gaze there originally.

I don’t entirely agree on the Cham though. I’ve never had cannot be frozen on a merc and haven’t had an issue with it.

Also like to mention I’d also rather fond of running Cryptic Axe + Treachery + Tal Mask with a 15/40.

I have treachery and andys with ral currently, but i’m looking for a good ethereal base to make Fortitude or do it in the one i have (eth 817 Shadow Plate)

I’d suggest looking at this link and figuring out solid ias breakpoints.

I think my issue with it was the only times your merc gets frozen really is when cold enchanted mobs die. I generally either kill those before the mercs in range, tele away, or am in an area where the merc literally can’t die anyway. It also doesn’t effect holy freeze so ehh.
