sry very late to the ladder, if infin already breaks immune, why do u use sunder? doesnt sunder do the same thing but wrecks your own resis?

if you're already gonna use the gc, shouldnt you use obstruction?

assuming merc is using insight for pvm

Because the debuffs stack. Also there are instances where infinity alone does not break immunities, such as cold imunes, etc.

sunder sets enemy resist from 100+ to 95, so your attacks will only deal 5% of their damage. this means you want additional -res to do a reasonable amount of dmg vs previously immunes. for cold sorcs, this is already achieved by their mastery, so no need to go infinity merc. for all other classes, the infinity merc helps vs previously immunes and non-immunes with -res, do it is still important to have one for elemental dmg builds, even though they use sunder

If u wanna kill at a much slower rate... or just use slots in belt for rejuv, mana pot, scroll id, and scroll tp, like everybody else....you could also run with cold sorc so u dont need infinity....

nah im soooooooo bored of cold sorc, literally what i play every god damn ladder, i played fire sorc when d2r launched, had a blast and loved it, then eventually made a lightning sorc and that was a bit meh, now i just did lvl1~hell act4 without any jsp with Nova sorc and i think its the best fun i've had in d2 in a very long time, im gonna finish hell without jsp power, then ill budget gear it with basic gg nn perf stuff like infin etc and mf a bit and probably quit for a good while again

Yeah in most cases no need for sunder with a ligt sorc wielding infinity

The odd case an immune won't break

Well just go for self wield infy in scythe, so your merc can wear insight. Low Budget Option is crescent moon
