- The first runeword, called “Elementals Gambit,” focuses on enhancing lightning skills for Sorceresses using two socketed orbs.
- The second runeword, “Ogre’s Brawn,” aims to compete with the popular Grief runeword for two-handed axes and hammers, offering high damage and survivability bonuses.
- The third runeword, “Fighting Chance,” provides early-game support for melee characters with increased movement speed, defense, and magic find.
Elementals Gambit: Enhancing Lightning Skills
Sweet Phil introduces the “Elementals Gambit” runeword as a way to make use of otherwise useless gray or white orbs for Sorceresses. This runeword provides bonuses to Nova, Lightning Mastery, and Energy Shield, making it a powerful option for lightning-based builds. The runeword has a wide range of potential rolls, allowing players to customize their build based on the desired lightning skills and resistance reductions.
Ogre’s Brawn: A Competitor for Grief
The “Ogre’s Brawn” runeword offers an alternative to the popular Grief runeword for two-handed axes and hammers. With bonuses to enhanced damage, attack speed, life, mana, resistances, and more, this runeword aims to provide a viable option for melee characters. While it may not match the exact stats of Grief, it offers a unique playstyle and the opportunity to use a weapon type rarely seen in the game.
Fighting Chance: Early Support for Melee Characters
Sweet Phil’s “Fighting Chance” runeword is designed to assist melee characters in the early stages of the game. With increased movement speed, damage, defense, and magic find, this runeword can provide a much-needed boost to melee characters’ survivability and item farming. While it may not be as powerful as endgame options, it offers a solid foundation for new characters and can help them progress through the game more smoothly.
