Who uses Prudence
Prudence is a body armor runeword that focuses on defensive stats. It offers faster hit recovery, enhanced defense, all resistances, and flat damage reduction from both physical and magic sources. The mana after each kill and light radius are minor conveniences. With a level requirement of 49 and two sockets, it is a mid-game option for characters needing to shore up their resistances and reduce incoming damage. It does not provide offensive bonuses, so it suits tanky builds or those struggling with survivability. The runes are not too rare, making it a practical choice.
