Unbending Will Notes & Tips
- Will be available in Patch 2.4

The relatively higher level requirement and the fact that this can only be placed in the Sword weapon type limits the options for use. It looks like only a 6 socketed Colossus Blade can fit the bill. It is the weapon with the highest base damage and exactly at the level 63 rune requirement. Having +330% enhanced damage is a huge boon to the Colossus Blade’s already high base damage.

However, as the item does not have a large Increased Attack Speed stat, it will likely fall out of favour for Whirlwind Barbarians who need a lot of this.

Additionally, since Unbending Will has a chance for the wielder to cast Level 18 Taunt, it can be ideal to put on a tanky mercenary. A Taunt at this skill level means affected targets lose a substantial 39% Damage and Attack Rating. The most likely candidate would be the Act V Barbarians, as the Desert Mercenaries can only use spears. This is in line with the previous developer blog stating that the team wanted to buff the underused mercenaries.
