Smoke is a Runeword for armor that requires just two runes, Nef and Lum. Smoke is an affordable Runeword for beginners, and many players who start a new Ladder character tend to make use of it early on in the game.
Let's have a look at why:
Requirement:
Body Armor with 2 sockets
Runes (in order): Nef + Lum
Required Level: 37
The Stats:
+75% Enhanced Defense
+280 Defense vs. Missiles
All Resistances +50
20% Faster Hit Recovery
Level 6 Weaken (18 Charges)
+10 To Energy
-1 To Light Radius
Runes: Nef + Lum
Nef is a very common rune, and Lum is a semi-rare rune; it's difficult to find, but not so rare that it will leave you gnashing your teeth in frustration for months. This fact makes Smoke a cheap Runeword to make, compared to other Runewords that might require much rarer Runes.
+75% Enhanced Defense
+280 Defense vs. Missiles
These two Defense bonuses are nice, but not the things that gets players all revved up for the Smoke Runeword.
All Resistances +50
This is the most attractive mod from the Smoke Runeword, and the reason why many Diablo 2 players are searching for the Lum Rune.
When you finish the game in Normal difficulty, you can play the game on Nightmare difficulty, and if you finish the game on Nightmare difficulty, it's time to tackle Hell difficulty, the difficulty level that will test just how good of a Diablo 2 player you are.
The penalties to your character's Resistances are -40 for Nightmare Difficulty and -100 for Hell Difficulty. Therefore, when your character begins on his or her journey on Nightmare and eventually onto Hell, you want to make sure that their Resistances are as high as they can be. Without good Resistances, your character would be a sitting duck for even the non-unique monsters.
A +50 to All Resistance is massive in Diablo 2. And the main reason why players get Smoke.
20% Faster Hit Recovery
Good for melee fighters who require more % FHR to break their target breakpoint.
Summary:
While you might need a bit of time to get that LUM Rune, Smoke is a very affordable Runeword to form given the huge boosts to All Resistances. While other Runewords might offer decent Resists and a ton of other cool mods, they also require rarer Runes. For a NEF and a LUM, Smoke gives you a great bang for your buck!
