Description

Insight is favored among casters because of the comparatively cheap runes necessary for its creation, along with for the Meditation aura it grants.

Key details

  • Instead of wielding it themselves, most players let their Act 1 or Act 2 mercenaries carry it.
  • As of Patch 2.4, Insight can also be built in Missile Weapons.

D2Emu Tips

  • An Act 2 Mercenary with Prayer aura and holding Insight will have a double healing effect as Prayer is a synergy also activated through Meditation.
  • Due to the cheap rune price and relatively easy-to-find base weapons it is common to re-roll Insight to find a level 17 Meditation aura roll on it (1 in 6 chance).
  • Act 1 mercenaries are capped at +3 Critical Strike from oskills, so +3 Critical Strike reaches the cap.
  • If your Act 2 mercenary is using Twitchthroe (which is one of the better low level armors for damage), the mercenary can use an Ethereal Battle Scythe Insight on level 27 (an Ethereal Bill Insight can be used on Level 27 without any Strength/Dexterity bonus).
  • Some necromancers create Iron Golems from an Insight weapon, retaining the possibility of equipping the hireling with another weapon with an aura.
  • Insight also supports ranged-weapon builds.
  • While you could build Insight in any polearm base, you should think twice about making it in a Colossus Voulge because it's the only base your mercenary can't wield together with Cure due to its high strength requirement (that is unless you are opting for a non-Fortitude armor with + strength on it).
