Description

Holy Thunder is a moderately potent low-level melee runeword with a very modest barrier to entry.

Key details

  • Because the player can acquire most of the necessary runes from the Rescue on Mount Arreat quest reward, a 4os War Scepter or Divine Scepter is the most challenging acquisition needed to utilize the runeword.
  • A War Scepter Holy Thunder will have a base damage value of 16-37, while a Divine Scepter will have a base damage of 25-70 (assuming neither is of Superior quality).
  • Note that the latter will have a clvl requirement of 25 rather than 21.

D2Emu Tips

  • At level 21, a paladin doesn'have acess to Holy Shock yet and already will be destroying everything with Holy Fire.
  • Nice stats early in the game, but very high repair prices due to the Chain Lightning charges.
