The Sacred Armor Rune is a powerful symbol with deep spiritual significance. It is believed to offer protection and strength to those who wear it. The rune is often used in magical rituals and ceremonies, as well as for personal empowerment. The Sacred Armor Rune is typically depicted as a intricate pattern of lines and curves, forming a shape reminiscent of a suit of armor. It is often drawn or carved onto objects, such as pendants or shields, to imbue them with its protective qualities. Many ancient cultures and religions have their own variations of the Sacred Armor Rune.
ACT II MERCENARIES
Most Act II Mercenaries choose between Fortitude and Treachery. This choice is largely dependent on the type of character and game content that the mercenary is designed for.
If the mercenary in question is being buffed by strong enhanced damage auras such as Concentration, Fortitude will represent a smaller percentage of the total damage the mercenary is dealing. Overall, a Sacred Armor with the 4S ETH affix is a valuable item that can greatly enhance the effectiveness of a defense-based character build in Diablo 2 Resurrected.
Many ancient cultures and religions have their own variations of the Sacred Armor Rune. In Norse mythology, for example, it is associated with the god Thor, who is known for his strength and war-like nature. In ancient Greek and Roman cultures, the rune is often linked to the goddess Athena, who is the patron of wisdom and battle strategy.

While Fortitude can be made in a weapon, this almost never happens in reality. It is used almost exclusively as an armor for mercenaries and physical damage characters who do not want to use Enigma. The big selling point of Fortitude is the +300% enhanced damage which is the third largest source of off-weapon enhanced damage behind Phoenix and Pride.
Fortitude also adds a significant amount of survivability in the form of life and resistances. The +X To Life (Based on Character Level) modifier rolls between the following values:
+1 Life / Level
+1.125 Life / Level
+1.25 Life / Level
+1.375 Life / Level
+1.5 Life / Level
While defense is not usually a high priority in PvM, Fortitude provides an extremely high bonus which can dramatically decrease the probability of your character or mercenary being hit. Level 15 Chilling Armor gives a defense bonus of 115%.
• A perfect Fortitude Archon Plate has an armor value of 1668.
• A perfect Ethereal-Bugged Fortitude Sacred Armor has an armor value of 4065.
These bonuses are incredibly powerful useful on Paladins with Holy Shield and Barbarians with Iron Skin and Shout.
ACT II MERCENARIES
Most Act II Mercenaries choose between Fortitude and Treachery. This choice is largely dependent on the type of character and game content that the mercenary is designed for.
In most cases, Fortitude will provide higher damage output even at a lower IAS breakpoint – but this is not always the case:
• If the mercenary in question is being buffed by strong enhanced damage auras such as Concentration, Fortitude will represent a smaller percentage of the total damage the mercenary is dealing.
• In certain zones, the Fade proc from Treachery is essential because it provides reduced curse duration to counter Decrepify (specifically Chaos Sanctuary and the Throne of Destruction)

Reviews for "Ancient Legends and Sacred Armor Runes"
1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Sacred Armor Rune. I found the story to be confusing and poorly developed. The characters lacked depth and I couldn't connect with any of them. The pacing was also off, with long stretches of boring dialogue and then sudden, rushed action scenes. Overall, it felt like a poorly written and poorly executed fantasy novel. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating and well-crafted story.
2. John - 1/5 - I regret picking up the Sacred Armor Rune. The plot was generic and predictable, offering nothing new or unique to the fantasy genre. The writing style was dull and lacked any sense of imagination. The world-building was also very weak, leaving me with no desire to explore the setting further. I found it hard to stay engaged and ended up skimming through most of the book. I definitely won't be continuing with this series.
3. Laura - 2/5 - The Sacred Armor Rune was a letdown for me. The magic system was poorly explained, leaving me confused and disconnected from the story. The characters felt one-dimensional, with no real growth or development. The dialogue was also stilted, making it hard to believe in the interactions between the characters. I had high hopes for this book, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. I'll be looking for a more well-crafted and immersive fantasy read next time.
