Who uses Cure

Cure is a helmet runeword from the patch 2.6 set of elemental defensive helms. It is easy to make and equips at level 35, making it a solid early-mid game choice. Its bonuses focus on poison resistance and reducing poison length, and the level 1 Cleansing aura also cuts poison duration for the wearer and nearby allies. The inherent 50% poison length reduction stacks with the aura's 39% reduction, bringing total duration down by 89%, which renders most poisons harmless. It also provides vitality, faster hit recovery, and a small life boost.
