Rhyme
Shields
Rhyme is a budget shield runeword in Diablo 2 Resurrected that provides the essential Cannot Be Frozen effect. Created with Shael + Eth runes in any 2-socket shield, it's the most accessible freeze immunity option for level 29+ characters.
Why Use Rhyme
The Cannot Be Frozen modifier prevents cold attacks from slowing your character, which is crucial for melee builds in Hell difficulty where Cold Enchanted enemies and Tomb Vipers are deadly. Rhyme also provides 25% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items, +25 to All Resistances, and 40% Faster Block Rate, making it popular for magic find Sorceresses and budget characters progressing through Nightmare and Hell.
Best Bases and Uses
Shop a 2-socket shield from Fara in Act 2 Normal difficulty for your base. Use Grim Shield (58 str) for casters or Troll Nest (106 str) for higher defense. Paladins benefit from class-specific shields with inherent resistances. Eth drops from Normal Countess and Shael drops from Nightmare Countess, making this extremely cheap to craft. Use Rhyme until you can afford Spirit shield or endgame alternatives, typically through early Hell difficulty.
