Who uses Gloom

Gloom is a body armor runeword that focuses on defense and survivability. It offers high enhanced defense, all resistances, and faster hit recovery, along with a chance to cast Dim Vision when struck, which can disable ranged attackers. The strength bonus and damage-to-mana conversion add utility for melee characters. With a level requirement of 47 and three sockets, it becomes available in mid-game and remains useful through Hell for its resistances and physical mitigation. It does not provide offensive skills, so it suits characters needing a defensive chest piece.
