Diablo II Posted 2022/04/28 at 2:40 PM by RenataKane

These can only be used by characters playing Ladder during this first Ladder Season of Diablo II: Resurrected. Helm RunewordsWisdomBiS for Bowazons and some Javazon builds; a great alternative for Throw Barbs who can't get Arreat's Face.Flickering FlameGood for Fire builds, though there are arguably better choices.

Fire Druids will probably prefer Ravenlore, which can give a higher reduction to enemy fire resist (10-20%) plus all resistances, not just a boost to maximum fire resistance.

Fire-based Sorceresses are often built for Magic Find and may prefer the Harlequin Crest for this reason, though it gives +2 to all skills instead of +3 just to Fire.

New Weapon Runewords in Patch 2.4Pattern (Claw)Low level Claw Runeword hampered by limited appeal.Undying Will (Sword)Budget version of a desirable, higher-level Sword Runeword; however, it has a stronger 2-handed competitor and is limited by availability of 6-slot base items.Mist (Bow)Primarily an alternative for an Act I Mercenary for the Act II's Mercenary Pride runeword.really Plague (Claw, Dagger, Sword)Making Poison Fun AgainObsession (Staff)Someone has to come in last.
