Bing Sz Wang

Bing Sz Wang is an exceptional unique Dacian Falx in Diablo 2 Resurrected that specializes in cold damage and freezing enemies. Named after the Chinese words for "King of Cold," this two-handed sword combines massive cold damage with reduced requirements, making it accessible for lower-strength builds.

Cold Damage Specialist

Bing Sz Wang delivers 50-140 cold damage, one of the highest cold damage values on any weapon at this tier. Combined with Freezes Target and 5% chance to cast level 3 Frozen Orb on striking, this weapon excels at crowd control through freezing and slowing enemies. The +130-160% enhanced damage provides solid physical damage alongside the elemental effects, while +20 to strength helps meet equipment requirements and boosts damage output further.

Reduced Requirements

The sword's standout utility feature is Requirements -30%, reducing the base 91 strength and 20 dexterity requirements to only 64 strength and 14 dexterity. This makes Bing Sz Wang one of the most accessible two-handed exceptional swords, allowing characters to equip it earlier and freeing up points for Vitality investment. For Barbarians who can wield it one-handed, this requirement reduction is particularly valuable.

When to Use

This weapon works effectively from levels 43-55 for physical characters seeking crowd control, particularly in areas with few cold-immune enemies. The freezing effects make it excellent for controlling dangerous monster packs during Nightmare difficulty. However, the weapon loses effectiveness in Hell difficulty where cold immunities become common and the cold duration penalty significantly reduces freeze time. Most players replace it with weapons offering better scaling or fewer immunity issues once reaching Hell difficulty.
