Last Wish

Considering the numerous valuable runes needed to create this runeword (at time of writing, well over two dozen

Ist runes worth of value), one would expect many powerful effects to be featured on this weapon. While Last Wish will neither walk your dog nor file your taxes, it does feature a chance to cast both

Life Tap and

Fade - both very useful in clearing the game's most challenging content.

Last Wish also sports a very high chance of Crushing Blow for cutting down large health pools, and a sizable enhanced damage value further augmented with a Might aura (providing an additional +200% off-weapon enhanced damage) which, combined with Ignore Target's Defense, ensures lesser enemies are easily dispatched.

Last Wish is not without its flaws, however. It lacks any Increased Attack Speed, meaning a fast base weapon, off-weapon IAS,

Werewolf, a

Fanaticism aura, or some combination thereof will be necessary. Notably,

Burst of Speed is not a recommended work-around, as the weapon's chance to cast

Fade will promptly overwrite it. There is also no increase to the wielder's Attack Rating, which can become an issue when attacking Champion, Unique, Super Unique, and Boss monsters with skills other than

Smite.

Finally, the weapon's Hit Blinds Target functions by effectively applying the

Dim Vision curse, which will often result in

Life Tap being overwritten on monsters other than Oblivion Knights, Super Uniques, and Bosses.
