Hate is a powerful weapon that can destroy even the best of us. So tread lightly.

Hatred as damage scaling

The Sword of Ill Will ties the damage of the Demon Hunter's Chakram directly to your current Hatred: the fuller your resource, the harder the skill hits. This creates engaging resource management, because you are rewarded for keeping your Hatred as high as possible instead of burning it all away.

The weapon is clearly aimed at Chakram Demon Hunters and harmonizes with setups that generate a lot of Hatred and deliberately bank it. My tip: build in Hatred regeneration and skill-cost reduction so you operate permanently near the cap and every Chakram flies with full force. Avoid emptying your resource right before you strike, because low Hatred here means immediately weaker hits.

What the small roll range adds up to

The bonus rolls between 1.0 and 1.4% per point of Hatred. That sounds small, but it applies to every point of your current Hatred - a Primal Ancient at 1.4% gets two-fifths more out of your Hatred than the lowest roll. Chakram itself costs 10 Hatred and deals 380% weapon damage as Physical to enemies in its path. Each throw only dents your Hatred slightly, so the bonus stays high as long as you keep refilling.

The Chakram runes

  • Serpentine follows a slow curve, dealing 500% weapon damage as Cold.
  • Boomerang turns its path into a loop, hitting enemies along the way for 400% Lightning.
  • Twin Chakrams adds a second, mirrored Chakram, each dealing 220% as Fire.
  • Razor Disk spirals out from the targeted location.
  • Shuriken Cloud surrounds you with spinning Chakrams for 10 minutes, dealing 200% weapon damage per second to nearby enemies.

Stats and background

The sword rolls a main stat at 626 to 750 points - Dexterity for a Demon Hunter - and bonus damage of +981–1,199 to 1,175–1,490.

The flavor text plays on the class resource: hate is a powerful weapon that can destroy even the best of us - so tread lightly.
