Dragon Runeword
Dragon is a Diablo 2 Resurrected Runeword created by combining Sur + Lo + Sol into 3 socket Shield or Armor. It requires at least level 61 to equip. Dragon was first released in patch 1.10.
The most, and arguably only, interesting property on this Runeword is the Holy Fire aura. Since this Runeword can be made in both body armors as shields, the auras can be stacked to level 28. When combined with a Hand of Justice, the aura can be further stacked to level 44.
With the planned improvements to AoE Damage Aura Skills and Hydras, this setup could prove to be even more effective in patch 2.4.
