I rolled a Lightning Furyzon, and I’m hitting the wall where if I don’t have the Infinity, nothing dies, except me. I just need to start saving to be able to buy and Infinity, but I don’t know what they go for?
Have you finished baal? Pre-infinity, you should stick with cows. Imo try to get a rush so you can cow
Hell Cows? Because I’m 57 and just beat NM, so I think Cows is a way off.

Lowest Infinity would still be around 1.5 to 2 bers. Normally 2 Bers and you save on base cost if you buy low roll.

Hmm, lv 57 you can’t yet equip infinity, it needs 6x (61 or 63 I guess)
I’d just get in public NM Baal runs, pretty fast to lvl and free
Edit: checked it’s rlvl 63. I do play a Javazon myself and yes she needs to skip things, but once Valk maxed and with a CTA, dying is rare. NM cows can also drop good stuff
Ah, yeah, Hell LF Java you’ll need to skip stuff due to immunes for a while
I am also facing similar issue with my nova sorc recently, struggling in hell.
But at least sorc still have TP to skip immnuities and reposition my merc. Along the way I switch different merc to help my sorc.
What I suggest
- respec to physical dmg, respec back Lightning Furyzon after complete hell (I am no expert in build)
- if you are in bnet, join rush game or ask someone to help in forum to rush u
- try different merc to help (this is not easy w/o tp to reposition)
in the mean time, u can Join NM baal run in till high 60+ - 70 lvl
You can only buy a cheap Infinity which build on a wrong base. Even that, it is more than a BER usually since the most important Mod, the Aura, cannot be screwed. So you might want collect runes and roll one by yourself. Enigma is another example of friendly runeword.
Runeword like Faith is not friendly, suggest buying instead of rolling by yourself.
After you get an Infinity, you might want work on a Griffon’s Eye, which might be even more expensive.
On my javazon (LF for ranged and LS for melee encounters - lucky enough to get a mediocre Titan’s), I swap to poison jav for immunes and when that doesn’t work, I use the phys jav throws, but yea, it slows things down quite a bit - not a fan of immunes (resists I think are OK, but immune is stupid, esp when a lot of the monsters are immune). But I did get to mid-80’s w/ the build, and presently on other chars to lvl to 90s.
I’m sorry, I’m not hip with all the lingo. What do you mean “Roll” one myself? I literally don’t have the runes, but I have a ton of uniques worth PGems, Which I was hoping I could make enough of to trade for a Ber.
usually 40 pgems may get an Ist (or lower), and then Ber is about 30 Ist; 2 Ber means, ugh, 2400 thus about full 20 chars stash full of pgems
I feel Infinity isn’t really that important at this stage. with those resources you may gear up other parts pretty well (like getting Razortail, Titan, Spirit shield, CTA). I played Javazon without Enigma/Infinity and still had tons of fun, just go a bit slower and skip some mobs that are hard
even having Infinity, it may not break all immunes, and some broken immune ones still would have like 98% lightning res, meaning you are dealing 2% dmg than you would normally do; in other words, they are way tankier than Baal. so still skipping them would be best
BTW there is a forum giveaway right now, look into the other post. no Ber run or Infinity obviously, but still tons of good stuff
Edit: “roll” meaning to roll a dice. Infinity has -45 to -55 light res, random, so when you make your own, you roll a dice whether it is 45 or 55 or 48 or whatever in between
Might not be popular but the poison jav skills are pretty badass now, have a slightly weaker lfury but a great 2nd damage type and of course jab for 3rd damage type against pois imm / lite imm.

I agreed on this guy. Poison has two skills only. Make max for both and use left of skills for lightening jab. Around 85 even less level it is easy to kill everything in hell. No need infinity.
If you’re on ladder, Poison works well with a plague A5 merc, if non ladder, not so much, but at least you would have dual damage.

I really hate these types of videos. “BUDGET VALK DUDE!” “Now you will need two chams, the BiS WEAPON, a Perfect Razortail, and three Rainbow Facets!” Please, until you complete hell with a Stealth Leather Armor and a White Weapon, with a regular pike on a level 2 Def Merc, I don’t want to hear about “budget builds”. It’s easily my biggest pet peeve of D2R. We didn’t have this crap back in the 90s, because Youtube wasn’t a thing.

Yes some idiots ytb posted budget build with end game items like wtf… Those dunno what is budget build. Just for cheating watch /sub
It’s relative to Infinity I guess

I just learned that a bad HF torch is worth at least a Pul, which I have, and would be possibly more helpful to me leveling than an Infinity.

You can use Infinity at level 63 assuming it is in the proper polearm that your merc can use. The torch is level 75. I wouldn’t equate the way the game changes with Hellfire Torch to how it changes with Infinity. I just did some math for what I think the value of a bad Infinity is in another thread a few minutes ago. Check it out if you want.
