Who uses Oath
Oath is a runeword for swords, axes, or maces with a level requirement of 49 and four sockets. Its indestructible property makes it an excellent candidate for ethereal bases, granting higher damage without durability concerns. The runeword provides increased attack speed, enhanced damage, and bonus damage and attack rating against demons, along with a chance to cast Bone Spirit on striking and Prevent Monster Heal. This combination suits physical melee characters who want a reliable, high-damage weapon for mid-to-late game. The runes are relatively accessible, making it a cost-effective option.
