Insight is most commonly used as a weapon for an Act II Mercenary, as the Meditation aura is an amazing boon for low-to-mid-game characters that struggle with mana-intensive builds and few tools to deal with it. Great poleaxe is also tied with giant thresher for the best range-adder- anyone know if that affects mercs?Level 12-17 Meditation Aura When Equipped However if you don't want to socket andys with an ias jewel, you'll end up with 84 damage per frame.Īlthough the difference isn't great and these are harder to find than the other polearms. or 94.4 damage per frame with a 5 frame attack.Ī 260% ED insight in a giant thresher would have 420 average damage or 93.3~ damage per frame with 4.5 frame attack. the 15% ias jewel does not help with any other kind of polearm though.Ī 260% ED insight in an eth CA or CV would have 496 average damage or 90.2 damage with a 5.5 frame attack.Ī 260% ED insight in an eth GPA would have 472 average damage. obviously a poor option with precisely 65 ias although if you socketed your andy's with a 15% ias jewel you could bump this down to 4.5 frame jab. Insight has zero on weapon ias and your merc has 65 off weapon IAS you say.ĥ frame jab with a thresher or giant thresher. I'm using this calculator- i'm pretty sure it's accurate: Giant thresher is slightly more average damage and more minimum damage than thresher but with higher requirements, although the requirements aren't too high either way. (minimum damage is more useful than max damage.).

TLDR: Great poleaxe is the best polearm with your setup, but the difference is small.įirst of all: cryptic axe is clearly superior to Colossus volgue because they both have the same speed and average damage, however cryptic axe has lower str req and also higher minimum damage.
