Infinity is really useful but you're missing the point of casters if you feel like you should be able to farm anywhere, most casters do so much damage that immunes work as a way to keep them in check compared to phys damage dealers which are much slower to farm, especially versus density.Īnyway, Conviction Aura is 1/5 as effective vs immunes, Infinity carries a level 12 aura which translates to -85% resists, versus immunes that translates to 17% effective decrease in resistances. Infinity is mostly useless for a cold sorc. Also, since cold mastery already reduces resist, having conviction can be redundant for reducing non-immune monsters since cold mastery will have already reduced them to the maximum of -100 already. When they have an infinity, many people go light because many monsters have lower light resist compared to fire and especially cold and far more light immunes can thus be broken. Then and only then, do -resist stats come into play and only when worn by the player or merc doing the damage. If the monster has 115% light res for example, conviction aura will reduce this below 100 to 98 making the monster no longer immune. Infinity has a lvl 12 conviction aura which reduces fire, cold, and light by -85 resist so by -17 to an immune monster since it is 1/5 strength. An elemental immunity can only be broken by the conviction aura and/or lower resist curse and do so at only 1/5 of their strength. At that point they will be immune to the specific elemental damage as well as any -resist stats. This dramatically reduces the amount of mana you use, which means less reason to worry about mana regen.Īn immune monster is one that has resistance above 100%. You no longer have to hit the enemy with 347 chain lightnings to kill them. When you get to the point where you have an infinity and a lot of that GG gear, you’re pumping out insane amounts of damage. If mana was a problem I’d use them and my hoto). At that point you regen tons of mana even without insight.įrom there yeah you’ll have to use mana potions but I just keep a slot or 2 on my belt for them and I find mana potions on the ground much faster than I can use them (I’m not wearing my SOJ’s and usually wear my oculus. Battle orders makes your mana pool even larger. Then with all of your gear you get a fairly decent amount of mana especially if you’re rocking 2 SOJ, arachnid belt, and a Hoto. You get the 1 point in warmth because well duh? By the time you add in all of your +skills it becomes fairly strong.
