Level 12-15 Fanaticism Aura When Equipped (varies)
This is one of the star mods of the Faith Runeword.
Fanaticism is one of the Paladin’s many Auras, located in the Offensive Aura Skill Tree. It is one of the most popular Auras with Diablo 2 players because not only does it improves the Paladin’s own Attack Speed, Attack Rating and Damage output, but it improves all of the Paladin’s allies’ Damage output as well.
A Level 15 Fanaticism Aura can increase the party’s damage by 144%; this is more than double the amount of original damage! With your Faith Runeword, you can now make use of the incredibly useful Fanaticism Aura, and not only up your own melee prowess, but you’ll be the pride of your allies as well!
+1-2 To All Skills (varies)
All characters of all builds can always enjoy a + to All Skills mod. This is a wonderful mod to have on a weapon.
+330% Enhanced Damage
Improving the damage of your current weapon by a fixed figure of 330% is a huge upgrade in damage potential. Faith might well be the Grief or Death of missile weapon s due to its high %Enhanced Damage mod.
Ignore Target’s Defense
Great for killing normal monsters quickly, but this ability doesn’t work on Champions, Uniques, Bosses or Players.
300% Bonus To Attack Rating
This will really help out when your % to Hit Monsters go down as you level up and enter Hell Difficulty. A 300% Bonus to Attack Rating is huge, and for this reason, some classes who don’t rely purely on their weapons to kill (casters, or the occasional party-multiplayer oriented Paladin) might decide to give Faith a go. Combine this with an Angelic setup, and they might actually have a decent chance to hit.
+120 Fire Damage
Icing on the cake for anyone who goes for Faith
All Resistances +15
It’s rare for a missile weapon to provide a decent bonus to All Resistance, but Faith’s +15 to All Resistances really can help out with those players who want to max out their Resistance in Hell Difficulty (most players would).
10% Reanimate As: Returned
A very interesting mod for Faith, and certainly visually entertaining on-screen. Kill a monster on stage, and there is a 10% chance that it comes back as a powerful Skeleton. This is not a world-changing, Earth-shattering mod, but it does make using Faith a lot of fun.
Summary:
This is one great Runeword to make in a bow. Massive weapon damage enhancement, the incredibly useful Fanaticism Aura, decent boost to All Resistances, +1-2 To All Skills, and mega boost to Attack Rating…it may be a bit expensive, but looking at all the stats and mods, it would hard for any player to deny its worth. If you’re rich enough, Faith can be a very nice Runeword to make in a bow and give to your Act 1 Rogue Mercenary, who rarely has nice weapons to choose from due to her dependency on missile weapon. With Faith equipped, she can deal good damage, and provide you with the Fanaticism Aura, while your character, if you were so inclined, can then wear or wield another item that provides a different aura (Dream Runeword for Holy Shock, Doom Runeword for Holy Freeze), so you’d have a total of two Auras going (or three, if you were a Paladin).
