It’s so much worse than reaper’s toll

If your ar is really terrible use a blessed aim merc before infinity

my question was more about how conviction effects monsters defensive wise
iam running a setup where i dont miss the monsters xD

Infinity is the best option IF you can chant yourself.
Or if you have considerable amounts of elemental dmg on-hit, or proc static on attack and such things.
If you only use it for the -def%, you’d better find a way to pump your ar.

Then dont use infinity lol
You’re melee as in physical dmg right?
If you dont do elemental dmg and if you dont have trouble hitting stuff, then infinity does nothing for you

hitting 100% with reapers ofc. bc its ignore target defence
with death testing just now with act 1 merc having around 85% chance in a lvl 96 TZ without enchant
think thats fair enough~
still wondering what weapon on merc yields the most damage to me
might pride or
might fana with gt ebotd or reaper
or fana with death~

all seem very on par~
the most convinient is reapers cause u break all immunity urself and its giga safe for HC

edit: yea was just wondering what the conviction actually does for physical resist

edit 2:

attack rating with maul should be a non issue since the skills gets 460% ar bonus with level 41

if you're considering sacrificing a2 merc for a1, consider just using a2 blessed aim merf for the huge attack rating bonus.

attack rating is a non issue with maul gettin 460% bonus ~
with reapers its ignore defence
with botd its -25%
hitting is not my issue guys xD
i just wanted to know how conviction works on physical resist

I actually can't remember if it removes physical immunity, i don't think it does, and therefore likely wouldn't lower their damage reduction. Would be a massive change to the game if it did. You'd need amp/decrep to peel it off so reapers/some other amplify effect would be fine(a1 merc + witchwild string also would work) Conviction lowers a monsters defenses, but i've always read that as reducing their total defense which is what your attack rating is trying to overcome.

iam kinda considering not to worry about physc immune and just skip them alltogether~
some packs i cant even break with reaper
and for everything else the dmg on death gives me more clearspeed over the 1-2 packs every other time that i cant kill i guess
