Rhyme Runeword
Rhyme is a Diablo 2 Resurrected Runeword created by combining Shael + Eth into 2 socket Shield. It requires at least level 29 to equip. Rhyme was first released in patch original.
Rhyme is a popular shield Runeword due to its Cannot be Frozen mod. It is one of the only budget ways to this bonus reliably, as other uniques rely heavily on luck to obtain. Cannot be Frozen is almost a necessity for most melee characters, so this Runeword is an easy choice for low level players.
