Who uses Voice of Reason

Voice of Reason is a runeword for swords or maces with a level requirement of 43 and four sockets. Its main strength lies in its spell procs: a chance to cast Frozen Orb and Ice Blast on striking, which can be triggered frequently by fast attackers. It also provides attack rating and damage bonuses against demons and undead, plus added cold damage. The runes are relatively cheap, with Lem being the highest. This weapon suits characters who attack quickly and want to supplement physical damage with cold spells, though it lacks defensive or utility modifiers.
