What is the best base weapon for Infinity for Andy + Fortitude Merc?
I see most people put it in a Thresher or Giant Thresher. What about a Mancatcher... it has slightly lower damage but higher attack speed. Isn't that better because the runeword has crushing blow on it?

not a huge difference tbh. both bases are fast enough. mancatcher is cheaper though (I think?) so that's what I'd make it in

https://warren1001.github.io/IAS_Calculator/
You can use this calculator to figure out which base is best. 20 or 35 IAS with Andy (depending on what you socket it with) will make a difference on which base is the best.

Also keep in mind resell value. Threshers/GTs have the reputation of being the best infinity base (because in most situations, they are) so they have the highest resale value (especially GT).
