Diablo 2 Resurrected's new v2.4 patch is anticipated to Diablo 2 Resurrected Items shake up the meta with a host of new runewords characters rebalances, character rebalances, as well as adjustments to gear. A brand new D2R runeword has been revealed...and it's kind of odd.A brand new D2R runeword has been leaked. This time , it's a revised version of Plague, a classic runeword that was originally planned for be released in Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction v1.15 but was later rescinded.

In some way, Blizzard has changed up Plague's stats. Plague's order has changed to Cham + Shael and Um, which is with a substantial cost but also an innovative use of the unexplored Cham rune. The Plague that's been updated Plague is like an new build with a very specific use case. Everyone's trying to figure why you should use Plague in lieu of Hoto and even more potent melee weapon such as Breath or Grief of the Dying.

The biggest change is that Plague is now using 3 socketed swords instead of the general weapons. Another modification is -1 from All Skills, and the removal of +strength since Fal does not need to be used. The damage is now enhanced this is a significant bonus for raw damage. Other stats are identical.

Plague was odd at beginning, but eventually it found some uses, maybe for casters. YouTuber Drunski125 says that Plague's usage being restricted to buy D2R ladder items swords alone is an error.
