Description

Wind has the unhappy distinction of being nearly the worst possible use for a Sur rune, second only to creating a "gemmed" item.

Key details

  • Because it contains only 2 runes, Wind could theoretically be used in weapon types with exclusively small sprites, including Katars or Daggers.
  • Still, Wind lags behind runewords including Plague, Chaos, or even Fury; elite uniques including Fleshripper; and exceptional uniques improved with Recipe: Elite Version of Unique Weapon including Bartuc's Cut-Throat and Heart Carver.

D2Emu Tips

  • 120-160% of enhanced damage is very weak for a Sur rune.
  • A possible option for assassin claw as well, Wind still remains unpopular due to the pricey Sur it involves.
