Who uses Coven

Coven is a ladder-only helm runeword from Reign of the Warlock, available at level 51 with three sockets. It provides a mix of offensive and defensive benefits: a chance to cast Sigil: Lethargy slows attackers, while +1 to all skills and faster cast rate help casters. Enhanced defense, life after kill, and fire resistance improve survivability, and the magic find bonus adds value for farming. The 5% proc chance is low, but the effect lasts long enough to matter in extended fights. It serves as a solid mid-to-late-game helm, though endgame options may surpass it.
