How To Make a Stone Runeword in D2R?

To make a Stone Runeword in Diablo 2 Resurrected, you will need the following:

• A two-socketed armor (such as a chest plate, body armor, or a cloak).

• Shael rune

• Um rune

Once you have the necessary Diablo 2 Resurrected items, follow these steps to create the Stone Runeword:

• Insert the Shael rune into one of the sockets in the armor.

• Insert the Um rune into the other socket in the armor.

Once both runes have been inserted, the armor will be transformed into the Stone Runeword.

Note that the order in which you insert the runes does not matter, as long as they are both inserted into the same two-socketed armor.

What is Stone Runeword Good For in D2R?

The Stone Runeword provides several useful bonuses to the character who wears it. These include increased defense, a boost to the character's vitality and energy, damage reduction, faster hit recovery, and the ability to cast the "Molten Boulder" skill. The Molten Boulder skill creates a large boulder that rolls along the ground, dealing fire damage to any enemies it hits.

If you aim to enhance the durability of your character, depending on a Rhyme shield may not be the wisest choice. Instead, the Stone runeword is highly regarded in this aspect, as it caters to players who prefer to withstand heavy attacks with minimal concern.

Here are the best bases for Stone to achieve different effects for different classes and specs in Diablo 2 Resurrected:

Archon Plate: Offers a good balance between defense and strength requirements. Archon Plates have a defense range of 410-524 and require 103 strength.

Dusk Shroud: Lower defense than Archon Plate but has a lower strength requirement. Dusk Shrouds have a defense range of 361-467 and require 77 strength.

If your character or mercenary has enough strength to wear an Archon Plate, it is a popular choice due to its high defense. If you're looking for something with a lower strength requirement, consider a Dusk Shroud or Wyrmhide. Make sure the base armor you choose has a high defense roll to maximize the benefits of the Stone rune word.
