Unbending Will Runeword

Unbending Will is a Diablo 2 Resurrected Runeword created by combining Fal + Io + Ith + Eld + El + Hel into 6 socket Sword. It requires at least level 41 to equip. Unbending Will was first released in patch 2.4.

The Unbending Will Runeword is a mid level sword Runeword released in patch 2.4. It is a great mid level and budget melee weapon that offers a huge boost to Enhanced Damage.

It is comparable to other melee Runewords like Black, Death, and Oath. It looks like this Runeword will fit as a Runeword specifically for the Act 5 mercenary after the mercenary balance changes.

With a relatively high chance to proc Taunt, you will have a consistent way of debuffing your enemies. Keep in mind that Taunt is a single target war cry. When used on an Act 5 mercenary, he will only cast Taunt on the enemies he is already targeting.
