Myth is a runic word that is created in Body Armor and is considered a cheap runic word to make due to the fact that the highest required rune is Hel, which is a semi-rare rune, and the other two runes are common runes. With the +2 to Barbarian skill levels, it is evident that this Runeword armor was designed with the Barbarian in mind; other classes will find that Myth offers them very little in terms of benefits.

3% chance to cast Level 1 Howl when hit

Howl is one of the many War Cries of the Barbarian. Causes monsters to retreat, fleeing from character (note: does not work for players).

This is a good mod for barbarians who are in danger of being harassed by a large group of monsters. If this kicks in, the barbarian will have a bit of room to breathe and may consider turning around and coming back later if the mob is too tough.

10% chance to cast level 1 taunt on hit

Taunt is another of the Barbarian’s War Cries. Forces monsters (and does not affect players) to engage in close combat with the barbarian, making it useful against spell-casting monsters or long-range missile attackers.

It also slightly reduces the target’s damage output and attack rating. A level 1 taunt reduces both the target’s damage output and attack rate by 5%. This may not sound like much, but it can be said that every little bit counts on Diablo 2’s Hellish difficulty. Also, with the conditional trigger set to 10% on hit, this mod will trigger a lot, as barbarians are a happy class. body to body.

+2 to Barbarian Skill Levels

This mod, and the affordable price to create Myth Runeword, is what makes the armor attractive to barbarians.

Replenish Life +10

Replenishing life will increase the myth user’s health recovery rate. This can be drastically increased if they are using or have equipped other items that have the Replenish Life mod, as the effects stack.

Summary:

Given its low price and low level requirements, Myth pays quite well with its +2 to barbarian skill levels. However, the lack of increases in All Resistances really hurts him, although it could be argued that a Barbarian can resist that by placing points on his Natural Resistances Skill (which adds permanent bonuses to each of his Elemental Resistances). All in all, Myth is definitely an affordable and viable bulletproof vest until something better comes along.
