Who uses Obsession
Obsession is an endgame staff runeword for Sorceresses, requiring level 69 and six sockets, and it is ladder-only. It is extremely expensive due to the Zod rune. It grants +4 to all skills, fast cast rate, faster hit recovery, knockback, and vitality, plus an indestructible modifier. When made in a staff with the right +3 staffmods, it can provide up to +7 to relevant skills, though such bases are very rare. It occupies two equipment slots, so it competes with a weapon and shield combination, but the skill bonus and FCR can be substantial.
