Description

An underwhelming weapon with fantastic modifiers.

Key details

  • One of only four unique items with the "-X to Monster Defense per Hit", the Woestave can reduce Hell Baal to 0 defense in 59 hits.
  • Equipped on a Holy Freeze mercenary it would grant three additive sources of slow against non-cold immunes, effectively crippling boss monsters.
  • Additionally it also has Open Wounds (Prevent Monster Heal doesn't work on hirelings) which prevents the high health regeneration of enemies including Diablo Clone.
  • Hit Blinds Target also doesn't apply to bosses, so effective curses including Life Tap or Decrepify will not be overwritten in these scenarios.
  • Unfortunately, the lack of IAS and a disappointingly low damage modifier makes this weapon a curiosity instead of being effective, even if upgraded.

D2Emu Tips

  • Another example of an item being potentially great were it not for the level requirement.
  • An excellent low level for a mercenary during normal mode and beginning of nightmare mode.
  • Woestave on an Assassin in Rogue Encampment.
