Hustle-A

Hustle armor is a mobility-focused runeword in Diablo 2 Resurrected introduced in Patch 2.4. Created with Shael + Ko + Eld in any 3-socket body armor, it's designed for melee characters who value speed over defense.

Speed and Evasion

Hustle armor provides the highest faster run/walk bonus of any body armor: +65% Faster Run/Walk. This massive mobility boost rivals Enigma for non-teleporting builds. Additional speed comes from +40% Increased Attack Speed and +20% Faster Hit Recovery. The armor grants +6 to Evade (40% chance to dodge attacks while moving—works for any class as an Oskill), +10 to Dexterity, 50% Slower Stamina Drain, and All Resistances +10.

Best Uses and Weaknesses

Perfect for Act 1 and Act 5 mercenaries who need mobility and Evade synergy. Works well on Frenzy Barbarians and melee builds that prioritize positioning. Lacks enhanced defense and meaningful resistances, making it unsuitable for builds requiring heavy mitigation. Use lightweight bases like Mage Plate or Dusk Shroud. Budget alternative to Enigma for speed farming.
