Chains of Honor (CoH) is a Diablo 2 Resurrected Runeword created by combining Dol + Um + Ber + Ist into 4 socket Armor. It requires at least level 63 to equip. Chains of Honor was first released in patch 1.10.

Chains of Honor is the best all-purpose choice for nearly any build. Even though its Life Leach gears it slightly towards physical builds, the +2 to All Skills and massive bonus to All Resistances makes it a great choice for all types of builds.

The best base for Chains of Honor is an elite light armor (Dusk Shroud, Wyrmhide, Scarab Husk, Wire Fleece, Great Hauberk and Archon Plate). A Dusk Shroud requires the lowest strength, while an Archon Plate has the highest defense.

The required Ber rune makes it an expensive armor, albeit much less expensive than Enigma
