What do you think of Soldier of Light runeword on weapon for farming (ignoring the cost)? I've been using it and the proc seems pretty strong.

You are basically getting 200ed runeword (so can be preupgraded for more %ed than unique with jahs total), and 300 damage added, skills and spell proc.
It isn't bad at all.
Depends on stage of your gear, spell proc is just carried by its level and that pierce. Besides that pierce should help our thunderfury proc from axe, but thats about it (rest of damage is physical & cold). I think further you push the character, your phys damage goes up and spell proc becomes less and less relevant, as we don't have enough spell damage scaling on this build.
But im not sure, I might be just as well underestimating power of level 60 forked lightning.
Even without it it would be decent axe, basically a good craft without crafting. Problem is farming those runes if you played solo self found, it would be faster to craft something.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using your end game clear spec with Daedalus, mostly farming Faust. and Bremm. I would think the pierce helps with the lightning damage from that quite a bit. Though, I have no idea if Faust. and Bremm mobs have much lightning res. According to D2stats, I do 11k physical damage and 5k lightning, without Bloodlust or MOTW.

They have 35 elemental resists.
So if you put monster from 35 res to -25, that alone increases lightning damage by 92%.

Good catch, I had clip, but forgot to include it in video.. uploaded:



Basically, colosseum it, or kite zombies into a corner and die there, so you have easier access to boss. It is rather easy one overall.

Both spells (not weapon damage) and disintegrate really low chance. Nothing special imo.

something really strange at the soul of wrath... he gets down to half health (i dont 'fight' him) but then it stops, he keeps doing the same thing but his health doesnt go down

is there somehting im missing? Also, in your clip, you can move freely around, i get stuck immediatly and can only move in extremely small steps before he blocks me....
