"All we know may yet come to a great and terrible end if we do not intervene." —Excerpt from the Books of Kalan

Wisdom of Kalan

This amulet increases the maximum stack count of Bone Armor by five. Since many builds tie their defense, and sometimes their damage, to the number of active Bone Armor stacks, the extra stacks mean noticeably more toughness and strengthen effects that scale with stack height.

It is meant solely for the Necromancer, above all for builds that use Bone Armor as a central pillar, for example to strike surrounding enemies while boosting their own durability. The added attack speed rounds out the offensive profile. Practical tip: keep your Bone Armor active and at full stacks by regularly operating near enemies; only at maximum stacks do you reap this amulet's full value. When rolling, aim for an open socket and critical stats.

What five extra stacks mean

According to the tooltip, Bone Armor reduces your damage taken by 3% per enemy hit, up to a maximum of ten enemies, and lasts 60 seconds. With the amulet, up to fifteen enemies count - so the possible damage reduction grows by half. The catch is that enough enemies must be nearby when you cast it: hit only a few and the extra stacks go unused. The power has no roll range; every copy adds exactly 5 stacks.

Which Bone Armor rune fits

The skill has a 10 second cooldown and deals 125% weapon damage.

  • Dislocation stuns enemies hit for 2 seconds and converts to Poison.
  • Harvest of Anguish raises your movement speed by 1% per enemy hit and converts to Cold.
  • Thy Flesh Sustained costs 20% Life and raises your Life per second by 10% per target hit.
  • Vengeful Armaments raises the damage to 145%.
  • Limited Immunity changes the concept: a 45 second cooldown in exchange for 5 seconds in which the armor absorbs all damage.

Stats and Kalan's warning

Attack Speed of 5.0 to 7.0% is fixed, plus Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence at 626 to 750 points - for a Necromancer, Intelligence counts. The flavor text quotes the Books of Kalan: all we know may yet come to a great and terrible end if we do not intervene.
