Level 12-15 Zealot Aura when equipped (varies)
This is one of the star Faith Runeword mods.
Zealotry is one of the many auras of the paladin, located in the offensive aura skill tree. It is one of the most popular auras among Diablo 2 players because it not only improves the paladin’s attack speed, attack rating, and damage, but also improves the damage of all paladin allies.
A level 15 zealotry aura can increase party damage by 144%; This is more than double the amount of original damage! With your Faith Runeword, you can now make use of the incredibly useful Fanaticism Aura, and not only enhance your own melee prowess, but you’ll also be the pride of your allies!
+1-2 TB All skills (varies)
All characters of all builds can always enjoy a +a All Skills mod. This is a wonderful mod to have on a weapon.
+330% Enhanced Damage
Improving the damage of your current weapon by a flat 330% is a huge improvement in damage potential. Faith could very well be the pain or death of projectile weapons due to their high percentage of buffed damage.
Ignore target’s defense
Great for killing normal monsters quickly, but this ability doesn’t work on champions, uniques, bosses, or players.
300% bonus to attack rating
This will really help when your % to Hit Monsters decreases as you level up and enter Inferno Difficulty. A 300% bonus to attack rate is huge, and for this reason, some classes that don’t rely solely on their weapons for kills (casters, or the occasional party-oriented paladin) might decide to give Faith a try. Combine this with an angelic setup, and they might actually have a decent chance to hit.
+120 fire damage
The icing on the cake for anyone who opts for Faith
All Resistances +15
It’s rare for a projectile weapon to provide a decent bonus to All Resist, but the +15 Faith to All Resist can really help those players who want to max out their Resist on Inferno difficulty (most players would).
10% Revive as: Returned
A very interesting mod for Faith, and certainly visually entertaining on screen. Kill a monster on stage and there is a 10% chance it will come back as a powerful skeleton. This isn’t a world-changing, earth-shattering mod, but it makes using Faith a lot of fun.
Summary:
This is a great runic word to do on a bow. Massive weapon damage buff, the insanely useful zealotry aura, a decent boost to all resistances, +1-2 to all abilities, and a mega boost to attack rating…can be a bit pricey, but looking all the stats and mods, it would be hard for any player to deny their value. If you’re rich enough, Faith can be a very good Rune Word to bow to and give to your rogue Merc in Act 1, who rarely has good weapons to choose from due to his reliance on the missile weapon. With Faith equipped, she can deal good damage and give you the Aura of Zealotry, while your character, if you wish, can use or wield another item that provides a different aura (Dream Runeword for Holy Shock, Doom Runeword for Holy Freeze). , so you would have a total of two active auras (or three, if you were a paladin).
