Who uses Mist
Mist is a ladder-only runeword for missile weapons, requiring a Cham rune and four others, so it appears in the late game. Its Concentration aura boosts skill and damage, and the high enhanced damage, piercing attack, and attack rating make it a solid physical bow. The +3 to all skills also benefits many builds. While it can be used by an Act 1 mercenary, for a player character it is often considered less efficient than the Faith runeword, which grants a Fanaticism aura instead. The five-socket base should be a bow or crossbow, and the runeword is restricted to ladder play.
