act 2 holy freeze merc bonehew socket question

i got myself a bonehew and i was thinking of what to sock it with. i'm thinking of a shael and an amn or 2x shaels but before i do any of that i want to know if the merc will reach a breakpoint...what are the merc breakpoints? someone posted an exact same question earlier and the answers were still unclear. can anyone share some knowledge on this subject? someone who has been through a similar setup...please! for the love of--

if you worry about break point here, seems SHAEL SHAEL is the best choice.

Shael Shael is a good combo, considering you're worried about the next BP.

Curious. What do you plan the merc to use next?
