Description

Call To Arms is a very favored endgame rune word.

Key details

  • It grants Battle Command, Battle Orders and Battle Cry oskills, normally exclusive for barbarians.
  • Most characters use Call To Arms just for Battle Command and Battle Orders buffs (and as a result make it in weapons with low requirements), while its other affixes, including ED, IAS and life steal lets it be used as main weapon, until we have a better choice.
  • To maximize the buffs, make Call To Arms in one-handed weapon and pair with Spirit shield for +2 skills (or, if the Monarch is too heavy, any other shield with +1 skills, including Splendor, Lidless Wall, Sigon's Guard).
  • Follow the same cast order as barbarians: Battle Command twice (so the second cast is buffed by +1 skill) and then Battle Orders.
  • Since the skill bonuses are oskills, they are limited to +3 for barbarians.
  • Use two much cheaper "Echoing" +3 warcries weapon (is available for purchase from NPCs) instead, which can later be replaced by Heart of the Oak (also +3 skills, and FCR).

D2Emu Tips

  • "*Call To Arms: Barbarians are capped at +3 to the skills Battle Command, Battle Orders, and Battle Cry.
  • It has the same low Strength requirement as the Crystal Sword, but it has a maximum of five sockets, meaning Larzuk can more easily provide a suitable base.
  • If you build CTA for a Paladin, try to find a War Scepter, Divine Scepter or Caduceus with automod +3 to Holy Shield.
  • Due to the large span for rolls on CTA stats, it typically makes sense for online players to buy a premade CTA - it will be cheaper than the expensive runes needed to build the runeword.
  • The most popular offhand runeword for any build because it grant acess to Battle Orders.
