Who uses Temper
Temper is a three-socket helm runeword from patch 2.6 that can be equipped at early to mid levels. It provides enhanced defense, increased maximum life, fire resistance, and fire absorb, making it primarily a defensive item against fire damage. It is one of several elemental-themed runewords from the same patch, with others focusing on cold, lightning, poison, and physical. Compared to its counterparts, Temper offers fewer bonuses outside of fire protection, but fire is a common and dangerous damage type, so the substantial resistance can be valuable.
