Matriarch Infinite, 'Infinity' PStriker with A2 Might 'Doom' Merc Zanarhi
Infinite is the fourth character in my Sept-Sept Sept, but the first three were completed quite some time ago. So she's the first in the final push to finish my second 7x7+2. This was a build that I'd been eyeing for quite a while: 2H PStriker with Infinity, allowing 10-frame attack (with 24 BoS and 15 IAS) with solid -eLR and allowing making fire and cold attacks more damaging. I built Infinite her own Infinity:
Build and Equipment Overview
Infinity has -eLR and Conviction, so I focused on second charge. But at 10-frames, I wasn't always able to control, especially when there were lots of fireworks and tight quarters, so the first and third charges got used also. With Infinity, even a misfire generally ended up being okay, and the third charge was pretty useful with its freeze duration.
I put 19 hard points in BoS, which ended up being more than needed with +skills on switch, but I didn't bother respec'ing. She also maxed PS, and the synergies for the first two charges, and then opened up 1-point DFlight for mobility, and the rest went into the third charge synergy (ended at 9 hard points). I used Dragon Tail as the finisher: the AR% was the main reason I tried it out instead of normal attack, and the knockback ended up being quite useful for crowd control. No points in Trap Tree.
- Infinity Thresher (-54 eLR / 261% ED roll)
- Swtich: CtA / Lidless (not sure why I didn't replace with Spirit with +strength from final gear
)
- CoH
- +2 Assassin Circlet w 12@, 21 strength, 6 dext, 68 mana, 3 iDR (socketed wtih 13@ / FHR jewel)
- Gores
- 2/20 MA gloves 3ll and 25 LR
- Rare belt with 24 FHR, 19 strength, 36 life, 15 CR, 16 LR
- 29@ Mara's
- 250/19 Ravenfrost and rare ring with 103 AR, 6% ml, 22 FR, 11 MF, 57 mana
- Backback: 8 MA Skillers (with life, dext, damage, 1 with FHR), SCs focused on AR, FHR, and resists
This allowed 10-frame attack, 75/74/75/70 on resists, and 86 FHR breakpoint with >2100 HP on 2H main. CoS provides crowd control, AR was ~4200, which was plenty with Infinity's Conviction aura. She ended up being less of a glass canon than I had feared
Merc:
- eth Doom Giant Thresher
- Fortitude
- eth Vamp w shimmering charm with min damage
Playthrough
Infinite followed my standard twinking for Assassins: Envy Gear, to damage jewels melee, fire traps once merc could equip insight, and then lightning trapper at level 42. She re-spec'ed at level 63 to equip her Infinity and final build (minus Mara's and the rare ring, which were added when level supported).
I ended up settling on p5 after starting at p7 for Den of Evil, and kept it there for the rest of the playthrough (except p1 for Ancients), finishing at level 86. A noted, she ended up being sturdier than I had anticipated, but also not quite as powerful offensively as I had hoped. In later acts, it ended up taking multiple PS cycles to take down normal monsters with higher life, even for non-broken-LIs. But she was quite safe as long as I didn't wade in too recklessly. And even if she got surrounded, a few Dragon Tails in each direction generally gave her breathing room to get a foothold.
She completed all quests and full-cleared all A85 areas, plus all the A3 temples and A5 red portals. Anya rescue had Gloams (including multiple bosses), amp Witches and Shambling Horde, which required care, and Nihl's level had Vipers, Temple Dogs and Archers, which likewise required attention (and a merc resurrection). She almost made it through without a death, but got caught in the Throne Room by this boss after I got too far ahead of the merc and was slow on the CoS and didn't shut down the pack before a few had joined the boss near Infinite. But we successfully retrieved the corpse and had our revenge!
HF were Sol (NM) and Io (Hell), but she picked up a Pul in A5 Hell. The only other notable drops were a BK CB and an eth Frostwind, both in A5 Hell also. Next up is the Leap Attack/WW Barb. I also will be mixing in 20-30 minute sessions with my untwinked 99er Sorc to start the push to 98.75. Full read outs for Infinite are below:
