Who uses Silence

Silence is a high-level weapon runeword offering a broad set of bonuses. It provides enhanced damage, +2 to all skills, and all resistances, making it versatile for both melee and caster builds. The damage bonus against undead and attack rating against them help in undead-heavy areas. It also reduces requirements, easing stat investment. Available at level 55 with six sockets, it is not ladder-restricted. While it was once among the most powerful runewords, later additions like Grief and Last Wish have surpassed it, but it remains a solid option for characters needing a mix of offense and defense.
