it doesn't. math has been done hundreds of times and it tells the same story every time

additionally, the few cases where you don't benefit from additional - enemy res, you're already insta-killing those mobs. what slows down your clear speed is broken immunes, and a few additional skills does next to nothing vs - light res against those


Here are max roll calculations.

Regardless i agree, infinity is way better for broken immunes and in most situations better overall.

For The 999999999999th time, 105 FCR ES nova with sorceress holding infinity. Merc holding insight.

Any other nova build is vastly worse than this.

I've tested both and they are comparable. Plus you have more flexibility with infinity on merc

They aren’t even remotely comparable.

Infinity on sorc increases your damage by 200-250% depending on monster resistance level.

There is no other combo of weapon that will come even remotely close to that.


Nor is there any combo of weapon that provides you with as much suricciavility as insight on your merc.

You really only notice it on monsters with high LR in my experience. In my opinion it's better to go 200fcr for movement and killing speed

You are wrong. And have been proven wrong 999999999 times over the past 18 years.


This is a matter of fact. And it’s fact that a nova sorc should hold infinity. It is by far the best way to build a nova sorc. And it’s not even close.
