Description

Beast has three main uses: (1) as a niche offhand for a Frenzy barbarian, (2) to grant Fanaticism aura for summon necromancers and druids, and (3) to enable the niche yet terrifyingly potent Werebear sorceress build.

Key details

  • You read that correctly: Sorceresses can use Beast to become a Werebear, multiply their melee damage with Enchant, and stack two Dream Holy Shock auras with Lightning Mastery to output tens of thousands of damage per melee hit (at the expense of ranged and AoE spells).
  • The socket base for this runeword varies significantly depending on how one intends to use it.
  • A Beast for a necromancer, druid or sorceress will be made in a low stat requirement base, including a Double Axe, whereas a Frenzy barbarian would make Beast within a Berserker Axe.
