Description

Often overlooked for weapons like Breath of the Dying or Death, Doom has a niche with the use of Cold Rupture: a potentially enormous amount of -Enemy cold resistance for cold sorceresses (while Cold Mastery diminishes its usefulness).

Key details

  • It also can be chosen by Zeal paladins looking for additional utility, freezing nearby enemies with its Holy Freeze aura and granting additional skills and solid enhanced damage.

D2Emu Tips

  • The Runeword Doom is one of the three ways to obtain the Holy Freeze aura.
  • No1 can argue the power of the Death phantom but not losing time in the previously cold immunes-high cold resist mobs in the game makes it seriously worth your time.
  • With Doom and enough +skill from your gear, one point in Cold Mastery is all you need to bring all non-immune monsters down to -100% resistance and immune monsters close to zero.
  • With his nice 370 enhanced damage, 45 Increased Attack Speed, 20% deadly strike and open wouds, Doom is a nice physical damage runeword.
  • If considering this runeword for a mercenary please note that "Prevent Monster Heal" does not work with mercenaries.
  • Doom Wind Druid - Wind druid guide with cold emphasis.
  • Best in slot weapon for a Blizzard Sorceress, since Blizzard has cool-down time and Faster Cast Rate isn't that significant.
