Mist Notes & Tips

• Will be available in Patch 2.4
• The Mist Runeword looks to give the much-needed buffs to bows and crossbows. Blizzard has confirmed that they do intend to buff the skills related to these weapons, so a new Runeword set makes sense as well. The +3 to All Skills, Increased Attack Speed and a large increase to base Damage are already good features. However, we also get a large increase in elemental resistances, a chance to freeze and pierce targets.
• Lastly, this also looks like it’s giving an indirect buff to the Act I mercenary, the Rogue Scouts. They are the only hireling that can use a bow. Equipping mist will grant them a Level 9 Concentration Aura, which gives them enhanced utility comparable to the Desert Mercenary. This gives allies within a 21.3-yard radius a whopping +180% bonus damage.
