Description

Breath of the Dying was (and remains) one of the best melee weapon choices available.

Key details

  • Awesome damage, great speed, rich dual leech, strong +30 to all stats and reduced req on top of that result in mighty melee choice for either your character or your mercenary.

D2Emu Tips

  • Because this RW works for all 6 socketed weapons, it can be built into missile weapons as well, but it is widely considered by most players as a waste since bows/xbows cannot be ethereal and it cannot take advantage of the Indestructible stat.
  • The chance of a perfect roll is 1/204 or 0.49%.
  • Colossus Blade with perfect ed and life leech!
