Who uses Wisdom
Wisdom is a three-socket helm runeword intended for ranged characters such as bow Amazons, throw Barbarians, and Act I rogues. It grants piercing attack, bonus attack rating, mana steal, and the valuable Cannot Be Frozen modifier. Amazons with the Pierce skill can reach 100% pierce when using this helm, making it a strong mid-game item that substitutes for both Razortail and Raven Frost. For endgame, it can also help compensate for lost Meditation when switching a mercenary from Insight to Infinity, all for the cost of a Pul rune. Barbarians looking for such bonuses may prefer a Primal Helm with staffmods like Double Throw.
