Why don't you just go with infy on normal arc2 merc and crescent moon in hand

Deff the most dmg of all of this options. If you have convi from merc, even CM+Spirit will give you more dmg than self wield infinity, but if you go with CM+jmod, so much better.

That would be the same amount of -res and only +20 light dmg which is marginal on light sorc considering they get around +500 % light dmg from light mastery. Infinity also gives you frw and a good chunk of vita. Infinity is a lot better imo

I’m trying a 3/3/20fcr/2os wand with jmos and putting infinity on merc. Was going to potentially use iron golem for infinity to keep insight merc for synergistic life rep from prayer +medi+cleanse but if it’s just going to die I can likely do fine without meditation anyways.

Self infinity is likely best in slot but just wanted a different look. I know my wand setup does more dps with nova but not sure how is fairs with static since static does better with a lot of -res and doesn’t scale with + skills besides radius.

I’ll report back after reset when I test it out since I think I’ll be casting 2 statics no matter what, the dmg difference between my setup and infinity setup on static might be negligible and therefore the higher nova dps would be better from wand setup although I will have less mana and life regen, total life and frw

NOW this is what I wanted to hear(read) ... your play style and crunching numbers PER action(s)

Question: How many times do you have to "teleport" to keep your "Iron Golem" from dying during your encounters compared to how fast you can normally kill off the monsters &/or Boss?

... Now... test this out with a few Amulets in your build... Maras (if you have it), Saracen's, Rare, set or magical amulet, Seraph's Hymnn with your characters equpment.

What items would you switch to compensate for things like FCR etc?


This is what I was stating about research etc.

It does in d2r now as long as you don’t take off the amulet, it’s just not very tough

I've tried with my 1st Bladesin, who got killed at lvl 86 in HC. Only Pally shield with PGems survived a little bit longer.

I think you need to Tele around to keep it alive. So Insight Golem on a caster is a possible candidate.

It's not worth the amulet slot.
