Death Rune Word

Death is the rune word  for swords or axes in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction''.

Similar to the Breath of the Dying Rune Word, Death offers indestructibility (for Ethereal weapons) and almost as much damage bonus, as well as a massive 50% crushing blow and leveled chance of deadly strike, making it actually even more damaging on average while being much cheaper to create. However, it lacks some of the useful filler attributes (notably that +30 to all stats, increased attack speed, and dual leech) in comparison, and it can only be created in swords and axes.
