Who uses Chains of Honor

Chains of Honor is a high-level body armor runeword requiring four sockets and a character level of 63. It offers a broad set of bonuses that suit almost any build, including +2 to all skills, enhanced defense, strength, life replenish, and life steal. The damage bonuses against demons and undead make it particularly attractive for physical fighters, though the runeword's cost is steep because of the rare Um, Ist, and Ber runes. It is not ladder-only and can be made in any suitable body armor. This armor remains a strong end-game choice for characters that want both offensive and defensive benefits without committing to a more specialized runeword.
