Stealth runeword
Stealth is a Diablo 2 Resurrected runeword created by combining tal + eth into a 2 socket body armor. It requires at least level 17 to equip.
Given its many useful starter attributes and easy to find runes, Stealth is the best starter armor in the game. Stealth is so useful that often times it is used throughout nightmare and the beginning of hell difficulty.
Stealth increases your Cast Rate by 25%. Faster cast rate reduces the cast animation time of all spells. It does not have any affect on cast delays though.
