Who uses Smoke
Smoke is a low-cost body armor runeword that requires only two sockets and a level of 37. It provides a large boost to all resistances, enhanced defense, and defense against missiles, along with faster hit recovery and a Weaken charge. This makes it an excellent defensive choice for characters entering Nightmare or even Hell difficulty, as it significantly improves survivability without requiring rare runes. However, it offers no offensive bonuses, so it is often replaced once a character obtains more specialized armor. It is not ladder-only and works in any two-socket body armor.
