Who uses Wind
Wind is a two-socket melee weapon runeword that emphasizes speed and mobility. It grants increased attack speed, faster run/walk, and faster hit recovery, along with a chance to cast Tornado on striking. It also provides a moderate enhanced damage bonus and reduces target defense, improving hit chance. However, its damage output is underwhelming for a level 61 runeword, and the required Sur rune is very rare, making it a curiosity rather than a practical choice. Most melee builds will find better options, but it can be used for its speed bonuses in specific setups.
