Available at level 41, this wand provides solid all-around stats with a particular emphasis on the Curses skill tree.
Curse-Focused Benefits
The wand offers +2 to Necromancer Skill Levels and +1 to Curses, effectively giving +3 to all curse abilities. The 30% Faster Cast Rate helps reach important breakpoints, while 20% Damage Taken Goes to Mana provides unusual mana sustain when taking hits. Additional benefits include +50 to Life, +37% Fire Resistance, and Level 13 Grim Ward charges. The latter received updates in Patch 2.4, potentially offering crowd control and physical resistance reduction.
Outclassed by Spirit
While Blackhand Key was a respectable mid-tier option in classic D2, the introduction of easily-crafted Spirit runeword significantly diminished its value. Spirit provides +2 to All Skills, 25-35% Faster Cast Rate, +89-112 to Mana, and substantial resistances—superior to Blackhand Key in almost every metric. The curse bonus is rarely worth sacrificing Spirit's overall power. Most Necromancers skip this wand entirely, progressing from budget gear straight to Spirit. Has minimal trading value due to low demand.
