Wisdom is indeed great for a bowazon due to the piercing however I think the biggest boon from the runeword is the mana steal and mana after each kill. These two modifiers provide the sustain that the bowazon (and other characters) struggles with throughout the leveling process and early late game. Also it's worth noting that a throw barb would also benefit from this runeword as with the new changes to throw barb the 33% pierce will get them to that 100% pierce chance.
Another thing worth noting about the runeword Obsession is if you make this in a war staff it has zero strengh requirements which gives you alot of exstra points to vitality. If you go for the hoto/ocy - spirit combo you will have to spend at least 156 into strengh.
@@danielwhyte5391 and because of no shield no blocking and because of no blocking arrow spiked sorceress ^^ unfortunately the runeword is a bit out of place with the high requirement of the cham rune as it seems to fit better on a midlevel sorceres instead. There are plenty of issues to considder here and this is a runeword so no additional socketplaces as well! In fact this looks like an enhanced Chromatic Ire which is the unique exceptional cedar staff that has also 20 -25% max life, 20% fcr, 20-40% all resists, +3 all skills and +1 to each elemental mastery however on a level 35 requirement. Occulus + Spirit would furthermore destroy this even without using the monarch as base and going for a base that needs way less str. and not maxing on the blockchance you will have it way easier to obtain the same results except for the % life. Defense + blockchance make up for this by far. Overall the runeword feels not as good as you would expect from a highlevel runeword and they should have gone the whole mile and granted it something more benefiting in the defense section.
Haven't played in a while, but I see this from sin perspective. Plague? Venom Kick sin Flickering Flame ? Fire traps or Tiger Strike Dragon tail, you can even pair it with obedience
I am making a build with Plague and Dragon Tail (both Flickering Flame and Conviction on the merc). I am gonna wear COA with Fire Facets...and I am really excited...it'll be the most expensive build I have aimed for, for sure.
Plague could be insanely good for Act 5 merc if they stack. Double plague for negative resist and res aura,, plus he's going to be getting hit all the time so procs lower res and attacks all the time. This is of course with knowing more now than we did prior. Something to think about ^.^
I really like the Wisdom helmet as I love playing double throw barbarian. I just wish they would include higher runes and make the helmet just a bit better. The piercing attack and cannot be frozen along with the % attack rating is all very solid. Wish they would add a 10-20 to all attributes and 10-15 all res at the cost higher runes. Possibly Pul-Um-Mal ish or maybe a Vex-Lem-Ko. My Throw barb rips but my main obstacle is getting 100% pierce so this helmet will definitely be something I swap my Arreat's Face out for.
The best part is when the season ends, all the new ladder runewords will be available to make in single player and non-ladder. Well... you have to wait a long while until you can do that.
Plague might be useful on an Act 3 Merc, for slapping bosses that you've got problems with, while talking about non-poison builds. With the lower resist, it might be Blizzard's attempt to make an alternative for Infinity mercs. Especially if you have a Lightning version with Static Field, which already sounds great.
Wand with lower resist charges is better than sacrificing merc with insight runeword(meditation aura for mana Regen) for a Merc with a chance to cast lower resist when struck. Idk if lvl 12 low res can break all immunities or not without looking it up, but my guess is probably not. At -57% with lvl 12, even if breaking immunity, it will only function at 1/5 effectiveness rendering it fairly useless for anything other than absolutely necessary fights. Low res itself is very useful, it's just that using it on immunes is much less useful.
I think they could really start adding more rune words to the players under 40, helps with LLD’s and also the fact that act 5 norm to act 3 NM is a struggle for most starting accounts
Plague will be a great Merc wep pattern will be great for assassin's either martial arts or would be nice for the new blade traps as it will use effects on weapons also love obsession it's name is truly fitting as people will be farming for the perfect version
I wonder if plague would be good for a vengeance paladin. Chance on lower resist, stacks with convict and decent damage, melee modifiers and + skill. If it could go into a war hammer it would probably be insane
Plague is a tough one.. First thought is a kicksin weapon, or my best thought is a Rabies Druid. Plague paired with Trang gloves and bramble will put him to a whole new level of damage. You don’t have to attack fast with rabies.
mist would be good for a bow paladin flickering flame, something you didnt really mention, is that the 106 fire resist aura so thats great for some of the wonky "imma buff the team" builds. specifically the enchant sorceress. plague is screaming "medic paladin", not sure why it wasnt mentioned obsession would be cool for the already mentioned enchant sorc, since most of those also do damage reduction/mana shield to go full meme and melee.
half the community knows and half doesn't. Even when the runeword wasn't released and we were only able to look at it on blizz runeword files. We knew "Plague" Runeword was for Rabies druid. They're gonna enjoy all that psn buff and deadly strike with that freeze target CC.
That’s a good question. Blizzard wasn’t very clear about this. It should for sure work on ladder, but non-ladder and single player is unknown. My guess is that it would be available in non-ladder and single player at the end of Ladder Season 1, similar to the other new runewords.
On plauge i believe that will proc pretty well. Places like worldstone keep and act 2 where alot mobs with range attack dreams confuse procs alot. Id be curious to see how often it procs. How long does that lvl lower resist last when it procs? Meaning i think the one struck works really well for dealing with alot big or small groups ranged attackers.
My thoughts exactly. It seems like it's meant to be a cheaper alternative to infinity for an act 5 merc. 20% chance to proc will be going off A LOT on a melee character.
Great video! Do the new rune words work in Single Player? I know you said they don’t work until after the ladder season, but I’m seeing other content saying they will work in single player. Maybe there’s been an update?
Thanks for the feedback! I re-read the patch notes and they still indicate that they are ladder only during season 1. I haven’t personally tested on single player to confirm (I only play online). If you have a source, please share it. In my opinion, the new runewords should be available right away in single player.
I think, they could also make a quick buck, by intertwining an updated diablo 1, access in Tristram, opened up like the cow portal, but done in Tristram. I would be beyond myself, if I could replay diablo 1, inside of diablo 2. Would be an awesome turn on things, considering they've mentioned no access to original voice actors, so I think, why not keep the original sound dialogue, update diablo1 graphics, and have a side quest access through diablo 2 Tristram. I know that would get some ideas flaring in the development team.
Or put the faith on your merc, honestly would rock....so you crowd control more and like you said 100% pierce and freeze man zon would wreck and just use the fanat aura on the merc, but both have thier perks, I like these changes ha ent played it yet though, finishing elden ring first haha

In the end they have chosen the right name for this game. At first you enjoy playing and find always new reasons to play. Sadly this is a never ending farming game. You beat the boss when you are broken and you beat when you are stronger, yeah the loot tons of loot and multiple builds for each class and different classes..the rabbit hole is really deep isn’t it? This game is the perfect definition of hell, you do the same thing over and over and costs hours ( months ?) of your life that will never come back. My hell lasted few years, is time to move on.
all the new runewords are useless for solo players.All the new lords are towards a PARTY which will stack auras. They wanna make us play in full party as diablo 2 reforged. 1 barb for buff go upfront and taunt, 1 bowzan for dmg, 1 java for dmg, 1 blizard sors 1 fire sors 1 necro for summon , 1 pala for huge - ress aura + skillers stack. and aoe curse, the summoner will use act 3 merc with the cleass runeword, the taunt barb can use act 5 merc you get the point
@@DarMonkey i honestly think its stupid. Its somewhat anti fun. Make it hard but not like this. The 2nd problem i realy see is there not many builds viable to farm up - which is limiting the fun. They shouldnt make some areas with monsters who take extra dmg from sources that deal dmg to only 1 enemy and less from area effects so theres a reason to go meele etc... right now u play a class to farm up to be able to gear something u realy want to play. Hate that in D2
@@Gardstyle35 You bring up great points. There’s a lot riding on runes and runewords to make many builds viable. We have a gaming culture now that is well-informed and, generally speaking, prefers to optimize their characters and play experience. Less optimal options feel like they waste time or are even worth not viable/playable. When you combine the age of the game design/mechanics with the challenge of delivering changes and enhancements to the community, it’s very difficult to balance the game and impacts of 20 years of compounded design decisions.
@@DarMonkey i honestly dont think thats the case. F.e. make regions maybe the act 5 red portals viable farm regions with not many but single strong monsters that take extra dmg from sources that only dmg 1 minion. Making lots of builds viable in that region - make it so u can farm there real good even though u may need more time. adding low lvl / mid lvl runewords that help making things viable earlier easier would also be an relativly easy solution without changing the end game and the balance too much.
Stupid they are just letting anyone make the runewords after season 1... the people who made it should be able to sell the ones they have at insane prices like the old days.
blizzard could have updated the old game with new graphics, threw in a rune and item store, with socketed weapons to buy, instead of letting bots run and ruin every season, blizzard could be earning that money, thru a built in store. and make all of the people realize its PAY 2 win, like is has been since the era of bots, which is even plaguing d2r as i speak.
@@DarMonkey I could see it being interesting but part of the reason I play Classic HC is because the excitement for rares vs needing high runes is a more enjoyable experience. I would like to play Lod and do these new runewords but I never ever find high runes lol.
blizzard didnt do a remake, they did a shitty imitation of the past. and then by adding new runewords, they defiled the imitation even more. blizzard must be under new management, what a pile of LOST MONEY for them lately.
the old game and new graphics, not a new game and shitty graphics. blizzard failed to deliver, AGAIN, that's so many fails since overwatch one, which became a fail the way they tried to smash every ow1 player into ow2 and they lost their ow1 everything. just unimpressed by blizzards moves these days.
These rune words are such trash no reason to even play the game anymore Why play when they arent any better then current rune words?? At least make better words then we already have Lmao blizzard just doesn't listen to its fans

They wanna make us play in full party as diablo 2 reforged. 1 barb for buff go upfront and taunt, 1 bowzan for dmg, 1 java for dmg, 1 blizard sors 1 fire sors 1 necro for summon , 1 pala for huge - ress aura + skillers stack. and aoe curse, the summoner will use act 3 merc with the cleass runeword, the taunt barb can use act 5 merc you get the point
and now not a single new one has been released in 2 years 🙂 they intentionally neglect D2R so switch to D4 where they can get away with a game shop
Solid Huuuuuge Video
Thanks for the feedback!
never god a zod in my live....
It’s crazy how rare high runes really are. I did find one Zod in original D2 after playing for years.
@@DarMonkey i honestly think its stupid. Its somewhat anti fun. Make it hard but not like this. The 2nd problem i realy see is there not many builds viable to farm up - which is limiting the fun.
They shouldnt make some areas with monsters who take extra dmg from sources that deal dmg to only 1 enemy and less from area effects so theres a reason to go meele etc...
right now u play a class to farm up to be able to gear something u realy want to play. Hate that in D2
@@Gardstyle35 You bring up great points. There’s a lot riding on runes and runewords to make many builds viable. We have a gaming culture now that is well-informed and, generally speaking, prefers to optimize their characters and play experience. Less optimal options feel like they waste time or are even worth not viable/playable. When you combine the age of the game design/mechanics with the challenge of delivering changes and enhancements to the community, it’s very difficult to balance the game and impacts of 20 years of compounded design decisions.
@@DarMonkey i honestly dont think thats the case. F.e. make regions maybe the act 5 red portals viable farm regions with not many but single strong monsters that take extra dmg from sources that only dmg 1 minion. Making lots of builds viable in that region - make it so u can farm there real good even though u may need more time.
adding low lvl / mid lvl runewords that help making things viable earlier easier would also be an relativly easy solution without changing the end game and the balance too much.
Stupid they are just letting anyone make the runewords after season 1... the people who made it should be able to sell the ones they have at insane prices like the old days.
blizzard could have updated the old game with new graphics, threw in a rune and item store, with socketed weapons to buy, instead of letting bots run and ruin every season, blizzard could be earning that money, thru a built in store. and make all of the people realize its PAY 2 win, like is has been since the era of bots, which is even plaguing d2r as i speak.
I imagine plague is for rabies druid.
Thanks for the comment. It’s interesting to see the variety of uses that people are identifying for plague.
@@DarMonkey I could see it being interesting but part of the reason I play Classic HC is because the excitement for rares vs needing high runes is a more enjoyable experience. I would like to play Lod and do these new runewords but I never ever find high runes lol.
blizzard didnt do a remake, they did a shitty imitation of the past.
and then by adding new runewords, they defiled the imitation even more.
blizzard must be under new management, what a pile of LOST MONEY for them lately.
WTF is a dar monley?
Shhh, it’s a secret… Trust me, you don’t want to know.
Kinda lame no endgame runewords
Yeah, there’s not much offering for top tier runewords, but the new ones do open up some more builds and mercenary options.
none of them are that good. Devs need to make some meaningful changes and stop trying to appease purists who want nothing changed.
all useless items
So they are literally just ripping off of project diablo 2 and path of diablo... cool
the old game and new graphics, not a new game and shitty graphics.
blizzard failed to deliver, AGAIN, that's so many fails since overwatch one, which became a fail the way they tried to
smash every ow1 player into ow2 and they lost their ow1 everything. just unimpressed by blizzards moves these days.
man u really need to just go bald, please for the sake of everybody.
I’ve been trying to do that for 15 years. I’m working on it, just a bit too slowly... 😀
These rune words are such trash no reason to even play the game anymore Why play when they arent any better then current rune words?? At least make better words then we already have Lmao blizzard just doesn't listen to its fans
