I have a few questions about the mosaic build in general :

- what's better in the end for clear ? 3 charges all except 2 phoenix strike or 3 charges all except fire/thunder with 2 phoenix strike ?

cuz it impacts how many points we put in fist of fire

- not sure about remaining points too > tiger vs fade vs weapon block

- and is meteor really needed ? cuz if not we could just put 1 point in fist of fire and go for defences + play with no charge in fire/thunder

about charges, i got all max, besides phoenix strike that i change depands on area, mostly i use 2 charges for more area effect
tiger\fade\wb, its all depends on you,
weapon block, at level 16 you get 56% block, after that its 2 points per level, up to 60(max)
so its ez you get to lvl 16, anni+torch+helm+amu+soj+bo+eni+arach, thats +10, so with 1 pt you get lvl 11 wb, so you can put here 4 sk pt extra
Fade, depends on your gears, i personally got max res with only 1 point there, you can add some ofc
but i think if you can get it from gear, you better put it on other skills
Tiger strike, more physical damage, that means more life leech, how much more? like 1000% or so, depends on you, so thats my go, sick leech,
allmost like walking with with constand life tap that works also on mana, with that merc feels usless

k ty for the detailed answer

I'll try many set-ups and see how it goes

I'm using infinity mancatcher+forti+andy 35ias merc and no sunder to start, we'll try full charges and no fire/thunder charges too with 2 phoenix

I do it for areas with resist all elements monsters, like uber trist and uber Izuel (like venom lords),
That assassin do have phisical damage, but why kill one buy one if you can bomb all pack 1-2 kicks?

So yea, sunder is for uber areas, and i choose fire, because i can easily fix the fire res with flickering flame on merc
After playing with that build abit, you will see how unnecessary is the merc for dealing damage, and how slow the conv aura works, that all monsters usually dies before the conv take effect.
Thats why i do no reccoment on infi, I think its not needed, and better use something that will get you kill faster, I run with harmony for the vigor, i like it this way, there are maby other options dou to the fact that its not that importent slot

Merc that I run is,

Act 2 - Blessed Aim

The huge boost from AR makes grabbing your charges fast and easy and the conviction helps rip through higher player count like butter.

Infinity
Fort
Gaze


Also, I run Up’d War Travs as my boots.

- high kick damage
+10-25 damage
+Stats
+mf
