Aug-29-2022

 

In Diablo 2 Resurrected, Runewords are an integral part of the game's gear mechanics, and they provide players with a powerful way to modify weapons, armor, shields, and helmets, especially in-game endgame Runewords. When your Ladder play reaches a certain level, you need some powerful d2r ladder items to help you quickly reach a higher level, among which endgame Runewords is a good choice. In this Diablo 2 Resurrected rune words guide, we're going to introduce you to the best Endgame Runewords in D2R Hell.

 

Enigma (Jah + Ith + Ber)

+2 To All Skills

 

+45% Faster Run/Walk

 

+1 To Teleport

 

+750-775 Defense (varies)

 

+(0.75 Per Character Level) +0-74 To Strength (Based On Character Level)

 

Increase Maximum Life 5%

 

Damage Reduced By 8%

 

+14 Life After Each Kill

 

15% Damage Taken Goes To Mana

 

+(1 Per Character Level) +1-99% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items (Based On Character Level)

 

Enigma is one of the most popular Diablo 2 resurrected rune words, and it provides +1 Teleport to any class. In addition to Teleport, it also has +2 skill, strong faster run/walk, massive defense, max life, damage reduction, and Magic Find chance. The biggest downside to the Enigma is the high cost of Jah and Ber, which makes it the best D2R armor for most builds if you can afford it.

 

 

Grief (Eth + Tir + Lo + Mal + Ral)

35% Chance To Cast Level 15 Venom On Striking

 

+30-40% Increased Attack Speed (varies)

 

Damage +340-400 (varies)

-20-25% To Enemy Poison Resistance (varies)

 

20% Deadly Strike

 

Prevent Monster Heal

 

+2 To Mana After Each Kill

 

+10-15 Life After Each Kill (varies)

 

Grief is known to be the best melee rune word in D2R, as it increases weapon damage to 400, increases strike quicken to 40%, and neglected the target's defenses, making it a mouth-watering d2r item for whirlwind barbarians. The Lo rune requirement will be your main obstacle to building this Runeword.

 

Chains of Honor (Dol + Um + Ber + Ist)

+2 To All Skills

 

+200% Damage To Demons

 

+100% Damage To Undead

 

8% Life Stolen Per Hit

 

+70% Enhanced Defense

 

+20 To Strength

 

Replenish Life +7

 

All Resistances +65

 

Damage Reduced By 8%

 

25% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

 

Chain of Honor is also known as COH, its biggest feature is +2 to all skills and +65 to all resistances, and it is the best all-purpose choice for nearly any build. The required Ber rune makes it an expensive armor, albeit much cheaper than the Enigma. COH's best bases are Dusk Shrouds or Archon Plates.

 

Infinity (Ber + Mal + Ber + Ist)

50% Chance To Cast Level 20 Chain Lightning When You Kill An Enemy

 

Level 12 Conviction Aura When Equipped

 

+35% Faster Run/Walk

 

+255-325% Enhanced Damage (varies)

 

-(45-55)% To Enemy Lightning Resistance (varies)

 

40% Chance of Crushing Blow

 

Prevent Monster Heal

 

0.5-49.5 To Vitality (Based on Character Level)

 

30% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

 

Level 21 Cyclone Armor (30 Charges)

 

Equipping Infinity grants a level 12 Aura of Conviction that reduces surrounding enemies' defense by 83% and resistance by 85%, and it's the best mercenary rune word for characters that deal elemental damage. When using Infinity as a mercenary, the best base is the Ethereal (Giant) Thresher. Infinity is also a major investment, as it requires two Ber runes, which is out of reach for many players.

 

 

Last Wish (Jah + Mal + Jah + Sur + Jah + Ber)

6% Chance To Cast Level 11 Fade When Struck

 

10% Chance To Cast Level 18 Life Tap On Striking

 

20% Chance To Cast Level 20 Charged Bolt on Attack

 

Level 17 Might Aura When Equipped

 

+330-375% Enhanced Damage (varies)

 

Ignore Target's Defense

 

60-70% Chance of Crushing Blow (varies)

 

Prevent Monster Heal

 

Hit Blinds Target

 

+(0.5 per character level) 0.5-49.5% Chance of Getting Magic Items (Based on Character Level)

 

Last Wish requires three Jah runes, which are out of reach for many Diablo 2 resurrected players, and ultimately more a flex of wealth than anything. While it works well for a range of builds given the Fade, Life Tap, Might Aura, and insane  Crushing Blow chance the cost is rarely worth it was given vastly cheaper and equally effective options.

 

Fortitude (El + Sol + Dol + Lo)

20% Chance To Cast Level 15 Chilling Armor when Struck

 

+25% Faster Cast Rate

 

+300% Enhanced Damage

 

+200% Enhanced Defense

 

+15 Defense

 

+X To Life (Based on Character Level)*

 

Replenish Life +7

 

+5% To Maximum Lightning Resist

 

All Resistances +25-30 (varies)

 

Damage Reduced By 7

 

12% Damage Taken Goes To Mana

 

+1 To Light Radius

 

Fortitude provides a large amount of enhanced damage and defense and averages all resistances, mainly used on the armor for mercenaries. Also, it would be better for mercenaries if the base item is ethereal.

 

Phoenix (Vex + Vex + Lo + Jah)

100% Chance To Cast Level 40 Blaze When You Level-up

 

40% Chance To Cast Level 22 Firestorm On Striking

 

Level 10-15 Redemption Aura When Equipped (varies)

 

+350-400 Defense Vs. Missile (varies)

 

+350-400% Enhanced Damage (varies)

 

-28% To Enemy Fire Resistance

 

+50 To Life

 

+5% To Maximum Lightning Resist

 

+10% To Maximum Fire Resist

 

+15-21 Fire Absorb (varies)

 

Phoenix is used more for off-hand armor and has a redemption aura, so it's easier to gain hit points and mana, while also lowering the enemy's fire resistance for niche builds. The classes that use Phoenix the most are Lightning Sorceresses and Javelin Amazon, and for basic items, Monarchs are the most popular.

 

Doom (Hel + Ohm + Um + Lo + Cham)

5% Chance To Cast Level 18 Volcano On Striking

 

Level 12 Holy Freeze Aura When Equipped

 

+2 To All Skills

 

+45% Increased Attack Speed

-(40-60)% To Enemy Cold Resistance (varies)

 

20% Deadly Strike

 

25% Chance of Open Wounds

 

Prevent Monster Heal

 

Freezes Target +3

 

Requirements -20%

 

Doom is an expensive runeword option that provides +2 to all skills and can reduce chilly withstand on opponents by up to 60%. Plus, it has the Holy Freeze aura, so it helps endure wickedness. It is mostly used by Blizzard Sorceresses and elemental druids, and for base items, the Berserker Axe is the most popular.

 

Call to Arms (Amn + Ral + Mal + Ist + Ohm）

+1 To All Skills

 

+40% Increased Attack Speed

 

+250-290% Enhanced Damage (varies)

 

Adds 5-30 Fire Damage

+1-4 To Battle Cry (varies)*

Replenish Life +12

Call to Arms is specially used as a weapon switch. It is a Diablo 2 Resurrected Item that allows all classes to use Barbarians’ Battle Command, Battle Orders, and Battle Cry. The Runeword is very suitable for improving the life, mana, and skills of any character. The most popular basic item of Call to Arms is the crystal sword.
