Who uses Kingslayer

Kingslayer is a four-socket runeword for swords and axes. It is a strong option for physical fighters who specialize in these weapon types, including Barbarians. The runeword offers a good chance of Crushing Blow and Open Wounds, which helps against tough enemies, and it grants +1 to Vengeance, allowing elemental damage on top of physical attacks. Although it is fairly expensive to make, its combination of attack speed, enhanced damage, and target defense reduction makes it effective in many melee builds.
