In terms of the runeword stats - No. Only the base defense or damage of the item will vary. Lore will roll the same stats regardless if it’s a normal cap or an elite helm, one will just have higher defense. This is important for melee runewords which you want to often maximize your base damage. (Such as making Grief in a phase blade, not a ...
Common bases are dusk shroud, mage plate, and archon plate. The same applies to other rw armor like chains of honor and bramble. For melee weapons, you want to use the elite tier of the item base. Some melee rws have indestructible so you'd want an eth base. Mercs don't consume durability either so you do want to use eth items on them when ...
Short answer: No. Any Elite base is capable of destroying p8 games using dual mosaic, ofc. Detailed answer: It might matter if you're a min-maxer. There's definitively better bases and godly bases to be found, and those would exponentially increase your damage output.

Arguably the best suit of armor in the game is [Engima] (Jah + Ith + Ber), which is quite expensive in terms of runes. Given that expense, you’ll want a good suit of armor to put it in. Normally the routine for such gear would be “get the best armor your Strength allows”, but Enigmais an oddity in that it adds +0.75 Strength per Character Level, me...
Enigma isn’t the only game in town, there are 4-socket runeword armors worth crafting, as well. Case in point, Fortitude (El + Sol + Dol + Lo) and Chains of Honor (Dol + Um + Ber + Ist), which both have different ideal armor bases. Fortitude is mostly used as mercenary armor, which means its Strength requirements can be fairly high - your mercenary...
One of the cheaper runewords on the list is Oath (Shael + Pul + Mal + Lum), which grants some pretty insane bonuses for a runeword whose highest rune is Mal- something legit players can expect to find/cube up to with moderate grinding. These mods include up to +340% Enhanced Damage, +50% Attack Speed, and most importantly, Indestructible, lowering ...
Given its constituent runes and the benefits it confers, the Spirit (Tal + Thul + Ort + Amn) runeword is probably the most broken runeword in the game - and this is a game full of broken runewords. +2 skills, up to +35% Cast Rate, +100~ Mana, all that good stuff. The Spirit requires a sword with 4 sockets, and this narrows things down quite a bit, ...
Heart of the Oak (Ko + Vex + Pul + Thul) is one of the best caster runewords in the game, and moderately expensive due to its Vex rune requirement. It’s worth the cost, however, due to its +3 Skills, +40% Cast Rate and +30 - 40 All Resistances. It can only be built in 4-socket maces and staves, and while this sounds fairly flexible, we don’t want t...
There are at least two great endgame bows worth mentioning in Diablo 2: Resurrected: Faith (Ohm + Jah + Lem + Eld) and Ice (Amn + Shael + Jah + Lo). Given their Jah rune requirements (not to mention Ohm and Lo), these are pricey weapons, but their stats speak for themselves: Faith: Lv12 - 15 Fanaticism Aura when equipped, +1 - 2 Skills, +330% Enhan...
Spirit (Tal + Thul + Ort + Amn) is a great mid-tier weapon due to its silly good mods: +2 skills, up to +35% Cast Rate, +100~ Mana, but what’s better than using one Spirit? Using two! That’s right, you can create Spirit in 4-socket shields as well. Unfortunately, 4-socket shields are much harder to come by than 4-socket swords… unless you’re a Pala...
There are two frequently used runewords that require 4-socket polearms as bases: Insight (Ral + Tir + Tal + Sol) and the far more expensive [Infinity] (Ber + Mal + Ber + Ist). Two Ber runes makes Infinity one of the more expensive runewords in the game, and Mal and Ist aren’t anything to throw away lightly, either. Needless to say, you’ll want an i...
Call to Armsis one of those rare universally-used runewords, and this is due to the fact that it grants is wielder access to Battle Command and Battle Orders. Normally exclusive to the Barbarian, the former will give you +1 Skills and the latter will give you hefty bonuses to Life, Mana and Stamina. Alas, the former varies from sLv2 - 6 and the lat...
Grief (Eth + Tir + Lo + Mal + Ral) is a fairly expensive and, at a glance, unassuming runeword. It grants no Enhanced Damage, instead relying on its +Damage modifier, which isn’t well represented on your character screen. This massive bonus to damage, however, makes Grief one of the most potent physical damage weapons in the game, especially when c...
Sep 26, 2023 · However, if you use a Normal unsocketed base item to apply sockets using Larzuk in Act V, he will always install the maximum number of sockets. If you need a 2-socket item, don't give him an unsocketed Base item with a maximum of 3 or you will be disappointed. Base Speed: This is the base speed of the weapon, aside from class modifiers. The ...
Aug 24, 2023 · Crystal Swords are the most commonly-recommended base swords for Spirit. Because you aren't using this as a melee weapon, base damage doesn't count. It is, however, one of the earliest swords available with at least 4 sockets (maximum of 6) with a very low Strength requirement (43), which the early-level Sorceress will appreciate.

Nov 17, 2021 · Begravlsnatt-1150 November 17, 2021, 12:19pm 3. First check ww speed breakpoints if you’re using ww. One-handed weapons. Breakpoints: 15, 10, -10, -35. 2h swords are treated as 1h for this. Col blade is 5. Col sword is 10. So you would need a perfect 40ias grief in a colossus blade.
