Horizon's Tornado

Horizon's Tornado is an elite unique Scourge in Diablo 2 Resurrected that provides solid Crushing Blow and Tornado proc abilities. This weapon serves as the more common alternative to Stormlash, offering decent Hell difficulty performance at a budget price.

Physical Offense

Horizon's Tornado delivers +200-240% Enhanced Damage, +33% Crushing Blow, and +35% Increased Attack Speed, creating respectable physical DPS. The weapon features 20% Chance to Cast Level 15 Tornado on Striking, which summons tornadoes during combat. The Slows Target by 20% provides additional crowd control, helping manage dangerous packs.

Tornado Mechanics

The Tornado procs deal physical damage and move randomly across the battlefield, potentially hitting multiple enemies. While visually impressive, the tornadoes' unpredictable movement makes them unreliable for consistent damage. The real value comes from the 33% Crushing Blow, which removes chunks of health from high-HP bosses and makes this weapon effective for Uber preparation or boss farming.

Budget Scourge Option

Horizon's Tornado works from level 64 through Hell difficulty, though it's clearly inferior to its sister weapon Stormlash, which offers higher Crushing Blow and Static Field procs. The significantly higher drop rate makes Horizon's Tornado much more affordable—you'll find 5-6 of these before seeing a single Stormlash. For budget builds needing Crushing Blow on a fast weapon, Horizon's Tornado fills the role adequately. However, most players who can afford Stormlash immediately upgrade, as the Static Field proc is dramatically better for boss killing than random tornadoes.
