Description

An underwhelming weapon with fantastic modifiers. One of only four unique items with the "-X to Monster Defense per Hit", the

Woestave can reduce Hell

Baal to 0 defense in 59 hits.

Equipped on a

Holy Freeze mercenary it would provide three additive sources of slow against non-cold immunes, effectively crippling boss monsters.

Additionally it also has Open Wounds (Prevent Monster Heal doesn't work on hirelings) which prevents the high health regeneration of enemies such as

Diablo Clone.

Hit Blinds Target also doesn't apply to bosses, so useful curses such as

Life Tap or

Decrepify will not be overwritten in these scenarios.

Unfortunately, the lack of IAS and a disappointingly low damage modifier makes this weapon a curiosity instead of being useful, even if upgraded.

Another example of an item being potentially great were it not for the level requirement. If this was a lvl 18 (as I think it should be), it would compete well with, say, Malice, as a starter weapon for an Act 2 Merc.
