Can we have the hero ^roneye test chaos runs with 200fcr vs self wield infinity. 20 chaos runs each. And the coh jmod eschuta for the sake of fairness.


Actual gameplay > maxroll > napkin math


coh jmod eschuta is not 200 fcr, and is not the build that I recommend. I recommended the best build, not a retarded build someone uses in their signiture

the math on what? use maxroll to calculate dps of the builds (like I have) where u can see u clearly do more dmg with my build. it's nice you know that "math, logic, reason (redundant to logic)" exist, but you don't actually use it


Static does more dmg with infinity build which is about half of your total damage and the mana sustain is significant since your mana is also your health pool. Depending on the area and enemies, you will lose mana significantly and allows you to position move offensively. The synergy between medi prayer and cure also completely negates poison and sustains your merc. You’ll also have more efficient casts at 105 and have fewer redundant casts due to the slower cast rate allowing for greater precision.

I know that, and I know that, and I know (you think) that, and I know that.

But someone should put it to the test.

and as a bonus coh jmod eschuta

this is just patently false. if you have to start your argument with something that is certifiably false (unless u think p8 chaos monsters have less than 4k hp), then the rest is copium


Except that with infinity you will have -170 enemy lightning resist against non immune monsters. Most non immune monsters will have 70 or less lightning resist, putting them at -100 resist. Meaning your 5k nova does 10k damage. Those monsters have less than 10k life.

So it doesn’t matter. You are killing then regardless of what your chatavher screen damage says.

But against non immune monsters, the - enemy lightning resist creates a large delta on damage


You are wrong.

Self wield infinity > 200fcr

By far.

are you surprised or something? That's about where self infinity nova caps out, around 4-5k damage depending on charm cutting. Maybe up to 6-7k with merc infinity builds and full charms
Meanwhile warlocks run around with 13k blood boil with 4x the area covered per hit and 2x damage types piercing both as much as you do with nova, and stapled on top of their free 10k+ EHP from consume+oath and a demon hitting for 20k+ and defiler and sigil and so on


What is your build?
