Lawbringer

Lawbringer is a versatile support weapon runeword in Diablo 2 Resurrected prized for its Sanctuary aura and Decrepify proc. Created with Amn + Lem + Ko in any 3-socket sword, hammer, or scepter, it's excellent for Act 5 mercenaries and dual-wielding Barbarians.

Undead Destroyer and Support Weapon

Lawbringer's Level 16-18 Sanctuary Aura When Equipped allows physical damage to completely bypass undead resistances (50% physical resist), making ghosts and other undead trivial for physical builds. The 20% Chance to Cast Level 15 Decrepify on Striking slows enemies, reduces their damage, and lowers physical resistance by 50%—essentially doubling physical damage. The rare Slain Monsters Rest in Peace mod prevents corpse explosions, making it perfect against Nihlathak. Additional bonuses include Adds 150-210 Fire Damage, Adds 130-180 Cold Damage, 7% Life Stolen per Hit, -50% Target Defense, and 75% Extra Gold from Monsters.

Best Uses

Ideal for Act 5 mercenaries on physical builds. Use fast weapons like Phase Blade since there's no Enhanced Damage. All runes drop from Hell Countess. Eventually replaced by Reaper's Toll (Decrepify) or Infinity, but remains excellent for Chaos Sanctuary farming and undead-heavy areas.
