infinty vs pride

what weapon is better personally i say finity but i had huge debate today why concetration would do better then conviction yes higher brings it out but im not pvpin

 

[Latex Glove]

Ubers:
Infinity

Elsewhere:
Whatever makes you feel better, really. If you have maxed Corpse Explosion, use Infinity, as it will boost such a skill as much as Amplify Damage does. If not, use Pride if you wish.


I personally would use Infinity for area clears, and perhaps use Pride if I was only hunting bosses.

That is, of course, if I were rich enough for such lovely, overpowered items.

 

[Doppel]

You can use both. :grin:

 

[canudig]

infinity....so many discussions already about this though.....the horse has been kicked to a pulp already lol

 

[Doppel]

(Oh, and if you do use both, then put the pride in a nice scythe, it'll make you look great)

 

[DTtheBlackMage]

^ good idea i was going to do that with infinity with with ca pride might be made if ikeep my summoner i'm in process of makin shock summoner druid see if its funner then good ol fishy

Bah, eth "Obedience" Thresher FTW!

(Just kidding. Although I made one of these last night and am really impressed with it. I want to try running some bosses on the weekend with my Fishy, just to see how much they squeal when my Merc pokes them for 5K+ damage and 40% CB.)

obidence is really hard to find i might make one of thsoe to

I have one made in an etheral great poleaxe. It rocks, takes down bosses faster than some players. :thumbsup:

Not too bad, I think, to make. Most of the runes for it can be found in NM/Hell or from bad forges. The ethereal polearm might be the hardest piece to find, and I ended up trading for one and socketing it myself for 5 sockets (thanks Larzuk), but it was well worth it. I had tried running Pits for eth Threshers/Giant Threshers for 2 weeks to no avail. I should've made one of these long ago. This is a serious beatstick and I love the stats on it. Just about perfect for a Merc, and very good for a Fishymancer, because you're casting Amp all the time. With Amp in effect, he should be getting up to 10K damage per poke. I wonder what he would get with a "Fortitude" on...

 

[Moe the Barkeep]

Yeah, the runes are pretty basic ones, nothing expensive. I made 3 so far, 2 threshers and 1 GP, all etheral. Gonna hoard them. :grin:

The only minor problem I have with Obedience is the cold damage, shatters some corpses. Otherwise it would be perfect.

 

[Eilo Rytyj]

Meh, the Cold Damage isn't that big a deal. It means a little extra enemy slowing for you, which means more crowd control. Like you don't already have enough as a Summoner... Plus a lot of the monsters in Hell are Cold Immune, so they're immune to shattering. I've gotten to the point where I don't care if there are any Cold Mages among my ranks; it's far too annoying to sort through to unsummon them.

I still end up with more than enough corpses for whatever needs I have. You don't need every corpse, one or two lost here and there doesn't matter if everything drops in a matter of seconds anyway.

 

[Romasm]

You can use both. :grin:

Infinity -> merc
Pride -> iron golem
Beast -> U

Thats one hell of a team. Just be carefull the irongolem doesnt die.:wink3: :laughing:

 

[Radamer]

If you use Skeleton Mages, then definitely Infinity. A might merc with a conviction aura on top of that will work wonders for both skeleton types.

 

[nicro tower]

Infinity -> merc
Pride -> iron golem
Beast -> U

Thats one hell of a team. Just be carefull the irongolem doesnt die.:wink3: :laughing:

oh my god... that would be some leet damage right there...

 

[bruticus]

i heart obedience. cheap and very effective .. the 40%CB without any Ber runes? sign me up.

 

[Painman]

I <3 Obedience too. Using an eth Thresher one on my Fishy merc, he does a great job.

I'll replace it with Infinity if I get around to it and have the wealth - being a mage user, I'd like to have an aura that helps them too, and makes my CE more lethal. Pride only helps the merc's/skel's melee attacks. It has no Crushing Blow. Infinity seems to offer more overall, and a more balanced contribution. CB, lower defense, lower resists. Yum.

 

[DTtheBlackMage]

everyone keeps talking bout pride i have bramble eth andys n finity what would be better obidence or pride?

 

[maiku]

Best probably would be "Infinity" overall. Ethereal "Obedience" makes your Merc into an incredible physical-damage powerhouse of his own, mangling and killing anything he comes across, but it doesn't really help out your skellies. Both "Pride" and "Infinity" will offer a lot for your skellies, who are the real meat and potatoes of your army. But for me, considering I haven't found legit runes to make myself a "Pride" or "Infinity" (and I'm working mostly with self-found or lower runes I trade for), eth "Obedience" is wonderful, short of an eth Tombreaver or something. If I did find or make legit HRs to make either a "Pride" or "Infinity," I'd make the one available to me and move the "Obedience" to another char.

 

[Painman]

^^ And out of those 2, via cubing and finding, you'd make yourself an Infinity far sooner than you'd get to a Pride, as a single Cham is 4 Ber... even trading for Bnet dupes, an Infinity is arguably easier to assemble than Pride.
