Description

With extremely high damage, 40% crushing blow, and an Enchant proc which supplies a large attack rating bonus, all together with 40% faster hit recovery, along with a defense and resistance boost (effective since the wielder will not be wearing a shield), Obedience is certainly a strong way to level a playing field in Hell Difficulty.

Key details

  • All for two common runes and three runes that are not at all difficult to acquire.
  • As a polearm, this is equippable by Act 2 mercenaries, and ranks among the best weapons available for them without needing to pay an arm and leg.
  • As of Patch 2.4, Obedience can also be built in any Spear, including Amazon Spears.

D2Emu Tips

  • Since attack speed doesn't matter, the biggest damage stick you can make wins out, so Obedience having huge defense, resistances, stats, crushing blow, - target defense, attack rating from Enchant, faster hit recovery, and of course the 370% enhanced damage, makes this almost best in slot for a flier barb.
  • A skill level 21 Enchant has the following properties: Duration (seconds): 624 Fire Damage: 74-96 Attack Rating: +200%.
  • Due to the Druid's favorable Increased Attack Speed breakpoints while using hafted weapons, a Werewolf specializing in Fire Claws can make excellent use of this weapon's unique combination of potent melee affixes and -25% to Enemy Fire Resistance.
  • If you find yourself unlucky at finding an ethereal Thresher with 5 sockets or cubing one with the horradric receipt then this is your runeword.
  • Obedience is mighty, and highly recommended to anyone, especially mercenary-dependant builds.
  • Obedience + Guardian Angel + Tal Rasha's Horadric Crest amounts to 90 resist all on mercenary and gives him a life leech, so it's a budget setup to survive Travincal runs (or pretty much anything else).
  • As of Patch 2.4, this runeword can be placed in Spears, making it a strong choice for SpearZons specializing in Fend.
  • Obedience gives 20-30 all res so its possible to put Andariel’s visage even without a Ral rune.
