Hoto / Infinity

Most of your kills are going to come from corpse explosion, not your skeles. Hoto allows you to cast CE / amp more often & hit the 125 fcr bp that much easier.

Conviction lowers enemy’s defense allowing your skeles to hit more often, and more importantly lowers their resistance making CE that much more affective. Infinity also has crushing blow which helps versus bosses.

Your skeles will do more damage with beast, however it’s not all that much more damage, plus, again, most of your kills are going to come from CE not your skeles.

if you can afford it just run beast/pride/infinity just run golem with pride or infinity then put the other on merc. you can work around considering your not spamming spells.

double axe beast / bered storm shield

summon necs normally cast amp on a mob then teleport next to them to kill a few then use c/e c/e c/e and the screen is clear so you have a choice in that do you want to clear mobs or kill bosses or somewhat of both

pride: highest physical damage on summons / this does make monsters shatter so you cant c/e them
infinity: conviction works with amp damage in that conviction lowers elemental resistance (fire) and amp is neg 100% physical while c/e is 50% fire / 50% physical so can weaken the monster to both.

DONT use an iron golem with ecv insight or ecv pride they are weak even when you fully snyergize them your best golem is CLAY they are a fucking tank i love them pvm or pvp you can have them with hp in 10-15 k range
my lvl 19 golem has 7218 life with hp boost from bo (191%) so your expendable golem has 13,786 hp and when it smacks monsters/players it slow them its the best :)

i myself use infinity on my setup and it works well

It is a bit of a personal prefernce. Same goes as the 125fcr debate vs 75fcr.

I just enjoy the full on aura build and it worked well for me. Did ubers and everything with it.

My personal is
Beast mainhand
Infy merc with might
Pride golem

Other setup works well but I liked this the most

Question : with Infinity merc (instead of Insight) what do you use to help mana burn with CE/Enigma w. Clay golem?
