Call To Arms

Call To Arms is a very popular endgame rune word. It provides

Battle Command,

Battle Orders and

Battle Cry oskills, normally exclusive for barbarians.

Most characters use Call To Arms just for

Battle Command and

Battle Orders buffs (and therefore make it in weapons with low requirements), although its other affixes, such as ED, IAS and life steal allows it to be used as main weapon, until we have a better option.

To maximize the buffs, make Call To Arms in one-handed weapon and pair with Spirit shield for +2 skills (or, if the

Monarch is too heavy, any other shield with +1 skills, such as Splendor,

Lidless Wall,

Sigon's Guard). Follow the same cast order as barbarians:

Battle Command twice (so the second cast is buffed by +1 skill) and then

Battle Orders.

Since the skill bonuses are oskills, they are limited to +3 for barbarians. Use two much cheaper "Echoing" +3 warcries weapon (can be bought from NPCs) instead, which can later be replaced by Heart of the Oak (also +3 skills, and FCR).
