Description

Venom Ward is a unique body armor focused on poison resistance, raising your max poison resist to 90% on its own.

Key details

  • While it would be effective to defeat Andariel in Normal, most characters would have defeated her by the time they are level 20.
  • There is some utility in it for equipping it on yourself or a mercenary for fighting Nightmare Andariel, but there are many better options available.
  • Stealth is almost always better for players, and most other gear is superior for mercenaries, but it will do in a pinch.

D2Emu Tips

  • This is a great budget mercenary gear option to those looking to farm Hell Andariel or even Ubers (specifically on a swap against Lilith).
