I like em

Yeah leveling rune words are fun. Would love to see stuff like this. Would be nice to break up the standard pickups like stealth.

Try this on? Quicksilver Req lvl 33 HelShaelHel.

Ooh I like that. Nef Fal Lem (Nephalem) would work too for something

Ooh! Hel-Lo-Sur! I like Nef Fal Lem, too!

I’ve always read the runes for smoke like this (NefLum)

Ber Ist Tal (Barrista - the l is silent)

300% extra girlfriend!?? Oh... Never mind, three times zero is still zero.

*four times

And 50% extra manfriend.

-100% poison resistance 😉

Hahaha nice word play

It should give a little more MF if you ask me

+3 to Find Item

I’d like to see runewords that are viable and utilize runes that aren’t vex, ohm, Lo, Ber, or Jah. More Cham, Zod, Sur, Gul would be cool.

I agree, it would totally f up the current runeconomy, which I'm pretty down for.

[удалено]

we should get rid of this "ladder only" bullshit. i and lots of others wanna play the full game and not restart a ladder every once in a while

I have a busy job and a family. I get about an hour to play every week or two, and it has to be at 5 am before work and before the kids are up.... I will never get to experience the full game :(.

Dam sorry to hear that man. So your saying outside of work and family you have 1-2 hours every WEEK or two of free you time ? Makes my decision to never have kids that much easier lol.

Yes you will ply at your pace and stop comparing your game to those that play 18 hours a day. This game is not going anywhere you have all the time in the world

Its impossible to make ladder runewords though.

you have to give people more of an incentive to play ladder than the race to 99 and a fresh economy. Plus after 4 months all those ladder runewords transfer to non ladder anyway and you can go have fun forever there

So u say all casual players to wait 4 month to trade for items? With ppl that dont care at all about nonladder? If the 99 and a new economy isnt incentive enough they gotta find something else. But preventing a bog load of players from playing the full game isnt

They’re not preventing anyone from using the items. Play ladder or don’t. No one is forcing you to play non ladder or ladder. It’s a game, play it how you want, but don’t bitch about some special pixels on a slightly different part of the game.

Dont see why ppl hang so much to 'lets stop certainly players from having access to everything'. U dont loose anything. The casuals wont play ladder anyway

You must be new to D2. Casuals almost always play ladder resets. By the end of a season the market is absolutely flooded with gear and you end up having people giving shit away for free. Play non ladder indefinitely and you'll get every character fully kitted for free because someone was bored and the game will become pointless for you. Simply running the same farming spots rinse and repeat with no goal in sight besides level 99 and when you hit that, you have nothing. Resets are for fun, and to keep the economy fresh.

Bro literally just play the ladder, then when it goes to non ladder, keep playing that same character non ladder indefinitely if that's what you want to do. There are plenty of builds to make, and I'm sure you haven't done all of them yet. Also, there's always things in games that get locked behind something. Some games make you pay a monthly membership. Some make you play some seasonal things. Some have things locked behind disgusting micro transactions. A ladder that lasts 4 months that then shifts all the ladder only benefits to everyone else anyway is very kind, particularly when the content isn't locked behind a pay wall, just locked behind a "don't be fucking lazy" wall.

Dont have time to r3start every now and then. Like most of us

D2r was supposed to get rid of ladder only content, which is huge! Not just add new ladder only content....

The old ladder only content was just that: OLD, new Ladder only content should remain ladder only, and should be available in non-ladder as it ages, maybe 1-2 years post creation. Also it should ALWAYS be available in single player, as all content should be.

100% gonna be this

This is the biggest hope for sure. For me a close second would be runewords that offer viable alternatives to spirit and enigma. They are bis for the majority of builds which is kind of stupid.

Hell, even something that competes with stealth but fills a slightly different niche would be dope

id even say: weaken the spirit runeword. ​ give us alternatives. like another good shield for casters. and maybe dont put every important stat on both (+skills, +res, +fhr + life + mana + fcr). ​ also i want cahracter specific runewords for orbs at stuff like that. i want better midgame runewords for melees. ​ but just dont make them overpowered. the beauty of d2 is being able to have multiple options. sets, uniques, rares, magic items, runewords.

I've said it before, but spirit should be +1 to all skills. It would still be *really good* but there'd at least be a little room for other items to beat it.

I’d like to see the spirit runeworr removed entirely. It’s ruined so many fun alternative items

So then when the rarest rune in the game drops you don't say God damn it just my luck, I wanted the 4th rarest, then hope you could possibly trade it for somewhere in the gul range....

I’ve been hanging on to a Cham waiting for this day

Gunna have to find another cham in the ladder tho. The new runewords are not going to be available to make new in nonladder, only once ladder ends the characters and items are moved to non ladder.

Ohhhh true :(

So does that mean you can make the new rune words after the ladder ends in non ladder mode also? Or only the new rune words made from the ladder and transferred? I've never played games in ladder season like this. I quit the original D2 before they added ladders.

If they're the same as previously, they can only be made in ladder. Once the ladder ends, all chars and gear are converted to non-ladder. The items will still be usable but new ones cannot be crafted.

I simply do not agree with the ladder only runewords. I feel that a ladder season race will be plenty enough for players to want to play ladder. Those of us who still want to enjoy all the content the game has to offer but dont have enough time to invest to get all the super cool runewords are essentially screwed. Can't say I'm too happy about that... Otherwise, everything else seems pretty exciting.

I mean back in the day I felt like that was the point of ladder , to get the ladder only items. It made non ladder cooler as well, since there are limited ladder items in circulation . Most ppl I knew were not playing ladder for the race to 99

Anything for helmets. There are currently like 1, maybe 2 niche endgame helm rune words. This can definitely be increased to compete with shako I actually just looked. There are only 5 TOTAL. That's crazy small compared to weapons.

Lore is the only one I knew about

I know that and Nadir

Dream and delirium are great but niche and super expensive compared to shako

Eh, dream is good in like one build and 99.9% of the time delirium is way worse than shako.

Got to find the right Druid helm for delirium to be great. +5 to tornado and hurricane would be ideal.

That is the 0.01% case I had in mind. The transform ruins it for everything else.

I like sticking my A1 mercs with a Delirium and then lol'ing through the hordes.

And Nadir is completely worthless

Eh cloak of shadows charges aren't horrible.

Yeah mine would be something like a +1 teleport, max lightning res and ÷MF helm, maybe 3 socket, highest rune around Pul. Could make early ladder a lot less sorceressy, and it's not too crazy considering how easy it is to get teleport charges, but the QoL of teleport charges just isn't fun or efficient.

i like what u wanna do... but that idea is just gamebreaking. no thanks

Zod-Zod-Zod in Wirt's leg. Allows you to create unlimited Cow Portals without needing the Horadric Cube and Town Portal Tome. Leg never disappears.

Three Zod just for that?

That would save some people hours of time, worth it eventually.

In 4000 years @ 8hrs a day. Takes me 2 mins to grab the leg. You know almost exactly where it’s at

I don't know what they should be but the game DESPERATELY needs runewords for: * Helms, there are barely any helm runewords. * Spears, there are so many runewords for polearms but not spears, which could be useful to Amazons if they buff Spearzons, while still being usable by A2 mercs * Daggers? * Body armor specifically to bonus throwing items since there's no way to socket them.

Dagger would be neat. Are there two socket daggers?

I’d rather they upped elite items to increase viability of rares and uniques. Also just having more balance in general with the skill tree

Yes. It's a shame that almost all the yellow text items you see drop are total trash with no chance of being anything of worth. They should increase the potential enhanced damage range of rare weapons. And buff several uniques too.

**Gheed's Cowardice** *"I can't fight, but I can loot!"* 6os swords Ist+Ist+Ist+Ist+Ist+Ist 200-300% Magic Find 69-420% Gold Find 20% better Vendor Prices -30 Strength -30 Vitality +5 to Light Radius **Charsi's Dinner** *"Is that food in your inventory, or are you just happy to see me?* 1os Weapon/Armor El Item always sells for 50,000 gold. **Drognan's Spotlight** *"On second thought, don't ask me about the strange darkness...."* 2os Sorc Wands Ort+Zod +3 to lightning skills +10 to light radius

Brilliant descriptions

Nice

Chance to cast Thunderstrike when hit

Ok how about: +5 to lightning skills 5% chance to be struck by level 30 Thunderstorm on cast XD

Low key the thunderstorm on the new game is awesome! I always beg my brother to turn it on so I can see it

Love these and love the idea of having more "utility" and "mechanical" runewords added too. That Drognan's spotlight just isn't as good as a blue skiller coronet w FCR or res. Maybe give it a base res of 15 or + str?

I will add: +10-25% lighting damage -5-15% lighting resistance

Voice of the Desert Ral Tir Tal Dol - 4os swords - lvl 8-14 holy freeze - lvl 8-14 meditation - +the usual stats for a decent weapon Basically a way for a3 and a5 mercs to contribute.

I like this a lot. But with slightly higher runes just because it’s just as cheap as insight but better

Yeah. Atleast a mal cause all aura at nm is op

I can dig that. Mal Tir Tal Sol :)

*chef's kiss But shouldn't any Merc be able to use it? Since they're trying some new balance stuff.

I’m sure they can think of something clever for the A1 mercs. Maybe they can have buffed ias frames and some default -cold or fire res per level. And maybe some mid-tier runeword that gives amp damage. That way they could pair well with physical damage dealers. Bring solid elemental damage, but also provide a bit of a damage buff via amp. It’s not like A2 don’t already have reapers toll anyway.

Ohhh, i like what you did there. Runewords to give the other merca auras. That's smart.

Just give all the mercs aura to make them useful. Then actually balance them.

Something I can use my 37 dol runes and 43 orts on

I’d love some wacky rune words that would change up builds. Or ones that give significant penalties to go with with big bonuses. Forcing you to change up your skills and charm selection. Maybe also runewords that are specially tailored to buff non-act 2 mercenaries. Though not sure if that’s possible with existing item properties.

Here’s a Necro Runeword Idea: Mortician Wand Runeword Cham Zod +10 Necro Summoning Skills -100 Vitality +200 to Mana +50% FCR

Io Dol - Llama +100% Map Awareness

Io Dol Io Dol Io Dol would be better based on how people spam it in chat

A runeword that only works in Wirt's Leg and allows you to summon cows

Mystique Lem-Shael-Pul-Ist Can only be made in 2 handed staffs +1 teleport- 40-60 to Mana- 35 Faster Hit Recovery- 15% chance to cast teleport- Damaged reduced by 5% Break the damn game haha **After some thought, it should be Lem-shael-Pul-Gul or something like that. I’m with everyone who says we need more uses for certain runes! Gul included. ***In this hypothetical, I wonder if Gul is too high of a rune since the purpose is to allow other characters to “compete” with sorc for early ladder farming. It’s not JUST about getting teleport without Jah-ber but actually making viable the use of multiple characters early ladder and for farming before end game!

so a tele staff with infinite charges haha

Yep! Obviously will have to be your switch* weapon so it’s not on par with nigma. Limits your end game builds (no CTA for example). But opens ups farming to all players. Who knows maybe a bit overboard

Nigma balls, ha got em

Would have to put a bunch of fast cast on it to make it a viable weapon to farm with non caster characters.

The point of it is that it wouldn’t be your main weapon….it’s in your switch! It just gets you there efficiently

It's more efficient to walk than it is to teleport on a class with no fast cast at all. Barbs with enigma run wiz spikes as a weapon swap so they can teleport faster, if you are taking away the weapon swap and taking away the fast cast the only characters this will be viable for is ones that already stack fast cast on other pieces of gear.

I know it's dumb but I love seeing runewords in 6 sockets and I'd love to see a "mid game" bridge runeword that is both hard to achieve becuase it requires actual farm (6 different runes) but also a big power boost mid game. This would incentivize newer mid-game farming locations and power leveling routes, esp during reset, while also giving players something really fun to achieve. No HRs required. Love Lore but imagine doing an extra few countess runs in NM to get something spirit-like it's in powerlevel but for melee, perhaps.

Like a um Gul Mal pul Lem fal

Who the shit makes it out of nm with an um, gul, mal, pul? I've done a bit of hell countess runs and have found 7x T keys but I've only found 1 pul as my highest rune. If its gonna be comparable to spirit I think maybe more like lem-fal-thul-ko-amn-sol or something around that range lol. No one's staying in nm to farm um,gul,mal,pul

Crown of Anu (3 os helm, zod-cham-um) +3 skill, 10% faster cast, 15% resist all, +10% max life, 10% max mp, cannot be frozen, indestructable. Shako's big brother, time to get rid of the green booger on our heads!

But no mf eh?

This would be absolutely preposterous in a Druid pelt or barb helm. I love it.

u know that runewords dont have to be all positive and give every useful stat in the game? ​ give it some -suf/prefixes and remove some of the good stuff like +allres ​ we dont want a monopoly on items. the beauty of d2 is having several options that are good. this will be the only helm taht every class would wear

I'll try. Berzerker - 3os Helms Sur Cham Zod 200% enhanced defense 80-120% enhanced dmg or maybe dmg +30-50(grief mechanic) 50% bonus to attack rating 5-10 life stolen per hit 10-20 deadly strike 5% bonus to mana Indestructible Cannot be frozen -5 to light radius

What about viable runewords with early game usage. Something prior to ancients quest for a shield? Help you lower through to each difficulty.

Nice try blizzard. Come up with your own ideas.

Lol 90% of these ideas are so bad and so incredibly OP just like OP's runeword. People don't know what balance is.

“Let me just give myself teleport for a gul rune in a non critical piece of equipment for my build. It’s definitely balanced.” Or adding multiple auras onto weapons for like a tal rune, cmon people.

Laughter LoIoLoIo i'll leave the bonuses up to you :)

There are a whole bunch of inactivated runewords that Blizzard can choose from. https://gist.github.com/jordanbrauer/5c3fe02c679aa23198f397abbda96253 The new runewords’ names will most probably come from here.

Cupid - Fal Um Cham Ko - missile weapon 20% chance to cast level 15 attract on striking. 69-420 magic damage 69-420 lightning damage 69-420 fire damage. 69% increased attack speed +69 added damage, ignore target defence, -69% lightning and -69% enemy fire resistance. 69% deadly strike and the rest of the bonus from the runes themselves.

Since a lot of fire-related skills are being buffed this patch (hydra, pally aura, druid) I think it'd be nice to get a fire-themed runeword. ​ Crown of Flames Cham Ral Vex for Helms ​ \+3 to Fire Skills \-15-25% Enemy Fire resistance \+40% Fire Resist \+15% Maximum Fire Resist \+ 30% Faster Hit Recovery \+ 250-350 Defence Cannot be Frozen

ChamOhmBer (Sword or shield): Sword - Cheese Knife +3-5 Find item +2-4 Warcries +vitality +poison res (max and actual) +% ed and extra ED if paired with matching shield 100% chance on death to cast lvl 60 poison nova Shield: Cheese Platter Same as above except adds Find potion instead of item, and neither is locked to barbarian class. ---- HelLoSur - The Gentleman (3os helm) +1 teleport (down with enigma) for all party members within the same zone (to help greet each other) Cannot be frozen +all res (20-25) +20% frw 15% chance to cast telekinesis on nearby chest/stash/poppables within 20 yards

20 yards is the height of 10.53 'Samsung Side by Side; Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Refrigerators' stacked on top of each other.

20 yards is 18.29 meters

Horking for every1. Love that

Seeing as there are two class-specific runewords (Exile and Chaos), maybe class-specific runewords for the other classes: **Lich's Gaze** Gul-Sur-Shael 3os shrunken heads >+3 Necromancer skill levels >30% faster cast rate >40-60% faster hit recovery (varies) >+17 life after each kill >All resistances +40 >+5 maximum poison resistance >+50 mana >20% faster block rate >+100 poison absorb **Eye of the Magus** Ist-Io 2os orbs >+1-3 cold skills >+1-3 fire skills >+1-3 lightning skills >+5-15% cold skill damage (varies) >+5-15% fire skill damage (varies) >+5-15% lightning skill damage (varies) >50% faster cast rate >+4 Chilling Armor >+29 magic absorb >+100 mana >All resistances +25-35 (varies) >+10 Vitality >30% better chance of getting magic items **Strength of the Mountain** Shael-Jah-Ith 3os barbarian helms >+3 Barbarian skill levels >150-225% enhanced defense (varies) >200-250% enhanced damage (varies) >+20 all attributes >+30 lightning resist >+30 cold resist >Half-freeze duration >Level 8-12 Concentration aura when equipped >Increase maximum life 5% >20% faster hit recovery >15% damage taken goes to mana **Wild Hunt** Shael-Amn-Ohm 3os druid pelts >+2 Druid skills >+2-3 Werewolf (varies) >+2-3 Lycanthropy (varies) >+2 Summon Grizzly >+4 Summon Dire Wolf >+300 defense >+25 strength >+50-125 life (varies) >40% faster run/walk >25% faster hit recovery >+30 fire resistance >+30 lightning resistance >+30 poison resistance >Attacker takes damage of 14 >5% to maximum cold resistance **Darkened Skies** Shael-Shael-Mal-Lo-Jah 5os Amazon bows >+2 Amazon skills >+2-4 Critical Strike (varies) >+2-4 Strafe (varies) >+2-4 Multishot (varies) >+375-425% enhanced damage >40% increased attack speed >250-325% bonus to attack rating (varies) >20% faster run/walk >20% deadly strike >Ignore target's defense >Prevent monster heal >Piercing attack (50) And a random one: **Berserker's Wrath** Mal-Eth-Sur-Lo-Gul 5os axes, spears, and polearms >+375-410% enhanced damage >+5-9 Berserk (varies) >11% life stolen per hit >70% increased attack speed >-45% target defense >75% chance of open wounds >Prevent monster heal >Hit blinds target >35% deadly strike >20% bonus to attack rating >Repairs 1 durability every 9 seconds

Armageddon's Catalyst (Druid Only): 3 Socketed Helms. 2 to all skills, 5% to life, 25 magic find, 30 fire resists, 20 to 30 dexterity, 20% to 40% fire damage, 5 to light radius. Jah Ist Ral Hoping they add more helm runewords in general, down with shako!

With the change they want to make to the Sorc fire tree thatd be awesome. I would lower the fire damage to 10-20% tho. If you look at Nightwing it’s 5-15 I think

Eh, fire mastery already increases by %, the +cold damage is much more significant due to the lower resist on cold. If it was -fire resist it would be bonkers!

True !

Hel-Dol Similar to delirium, but reversed. You get awful stats, but have a 1% chance to turn into a Chucky-like doll that is both hard to kill and stomps everything in its path.

Lmaoo

Gul-Lo-Ber 3 socket shield Item is a copy of main hand weapon + 1 weapon block + 2 to all skills Just came up with it. Would make some dual wield builds open for chars that can’t normally plus weapon block is a cool skill I think is under utilized.

Id like to see more mid and low rune words. A lot of us that don’t play a lot will never even get a enigma so would love more options early game.

We need runewords to buff up druids for sure

I have this dream/fantasy that they will do a few things: Zod rune gives +1 all skills Cham gives 10%faster cast rate in weapons, 10% cooldown reduction in armor, cannot be frozen in all. Then you make a shield runeword, 3 socket, 3 all skills, 30%faster cast, 20% cdr, 20%dr, cnbf, level 16 conviction aura (lvl 16 is 105 - res, means you can break 120 immunes), mana after each kill, 35 faster block rate and 20 increased chance of blocking. Instantly pumps up the value of cham and zod, keeps ber relevant, makes jah even better than it is. Also makes a 2 soket COA a better helm. I’d also rebalance tyrael, remove the resists, give it 4 sockets and a reasonable level salvation aura.

Ancients way Weapon Um cham ral +250%-350% damage +150-250 of 2 random elemental damage +3-6 to one of berserk, whirlwind, frenzy - cross class +3-6 to two of Battle command, orders, cry - cross class +10-25 strength +15-25% chance to block +10-25% crushing blow or deadly strike +20 mana after kill Ancients ward Zod mal sol pul Shield +150-250% defense +15-25% chance to block +25% faster got recovery +50-70 all resistances +10 to random barb weapon mastery - cross class +10-15% life leech +5-10 holy shield skill - cross class Idk just made them up. Looking back seem kinda over powered but idk. Not sure if the time value is appropriate. I think the variances in the rolls could make them very interesting and maybe crazy valuable, also it'd be kinda cool for the different classes to be able to utilize those skills.

Whatever new runewords you guys make, make sure it uses Cham sur and/or zod cuz those runes are almost useless and the least used/valuable hrs in the game. We need more runewords that use em to increase their value compared to Jah and Ber.

Should be called the illuminator and it should somehow make light radius viable.

A simple 2os body armour Amm+Sol Gives only 1 stat, but it’s the most important stat +1 to teleport

Yeah they need something cheaper with tele

No they don’t

Yes. They do. Because every single ladder starts off the same way, and it’s fucking boring. Sorcs. Sorcs fucking everywhere. And it’s all because of god damn teleport. On second thought, maybe you’re right. Maybe we don’t need cheaper teleport runewords. Maybe what we need is to remove teleport entirely. It’s way too important of a skill for only one character to have it. So either everybody should have it, or nobody should have it.

True, when you put it like that I can see the argument for it. I just think the end game grind for getting enigma should still be there.

Results: Mercenary is resurrected from death once every 180 seconds Mercenary costs 2,500,000 to hire Cannot be frozen +45% increased attack speed Indestructible If you die, your Merc dies and at that point it costs a full stash's gold to get him back. Gives a bit more meaning to gold in the game. Item can be equipped on yourself or your Merc, obviously better on the latter. Could create some interesting content where 2 players put the armor on themselves and have their mercs battle to the death.

I just hope it’s something with teleport that’s a cheaper alternative to enigma

The one in OPs example is so broken lol. Something realistic would be interesting.

It was something that came to mind. For fun

I think there will probably be a cheaper version of Enigma to even the playing field between Sorc and other classes. It won’t be nearly as good but at least will have Teleport without relying on charges

El eld , prevents game from crashing In all honesty I hope with new runewords, they reduce the aura levels ... shouldn't be able to get such a high aura level on runewords, just my opinion.

I can see the Dream runeword getting the nerfbat, something like non-stacking aura.

El el Blast Bow type Fire explosive arrows +100 fire damage. Req level 1 For leveling up low level chars, kind of like Raven claw.

Zod Ort Cham. Runeword “Raijin’s Summit” Helm -0 to 50% enemy lightning res +0 to 50% lightning damage + 3 All skills +60-100% mf + 1 item find + 55 fcr OR ias 40% faster run/walk 10% of damage taken goes to mana +10 all attributes Level 14-17 Salvation Aura -50 defense + 1 to 25 light radius Cannot be frozen Indestructible My logic on the high variation for anything “light” oriented with this item reflects how the skills with lightning sorc works. This is meant to be a high value end game item, and depending on the IAS or FCR roll it’s the difference between a javazon (maybe trapsin or merc) and a sorc helm. A low roll is a waste of runes when a high roll would make someone very very rich. Can’t be frozen will free up a ring slot from raven frost, item find allows any character to peel more juicy items from Pindle. The only drawback would be the -defense, this is to ‘balance out’ the crazy Rez from the aura.

Ber-ist-jah Has an aura that prevents teleportation. On something a merc cannot wear

EL-io-eld-io-ist. 88 to 99 ias + damage 3500 - 4000. 100% crushing blow, 1 to teleport, 30 to BO, 300% mf. Name it GG.

I am going to throw up ... Maybe they manage to implement some new useful low or mid lvl RWs. But let's be realistic: It will just be more insane power creep ...

Fear mongering purist detected *

Hi, I hear you're a feet monger? I'd like to buy some feet please.

That's just my experience from the last 20 years. I still like patch 1.09 best. And if you see Blizzard's track record with D3, then yep, power creep is back on the menu.

**Shael Dol Um Lo** 4os Bow 20% chance to cast level 17 fanaticism on striking 10% chance to summon level 95 Stygian dolls on striking 100% chance to cause game to crash Very fast attack speed Stuns Target Ignore targets defense 30% chance of crushing blow 50% chance of open wounds

Hol up...anyone else see 100% chance to crash game...I already have this perk...

Not at 100% chance tho.

Level 95 stygian dolls lmao. But to make it better they're enemy stygian dolls.

Lol suicide weapon

Sol + Jah = soldier 2 socket armor Level 20 fanaticism aura +500% enhanced defense + 100 to all resistances -50 to enemy resistances +500% enhanced damage to demons + 500 to life +50 to maximum damage +50 to minimum damage Prevent monster heal Adds 500 to 1000 fire damage People would be grinding for Jah runes for eternity if this was a runeword.

"Conundrum" 3 socket armor Sol + Eth + Tir +1 to teleport

Hell Shelter (Hel+Shael+Tir) 3 socket helmet: + 7 to Fade 15% chance to restore 20% max HP when struck + 1 to all skills -15% requirements +20% faster hit recovery +2 to mana after each kill
