if you have 1000 life you will get up to 1920!)īoth shouts have about 3 min duration and should always be active on your character so it is worthwhile to keybind them (e.g. Battle Orders (+35-92% to life/mana, based on shout's level - e.g. It is used as a second weapon set (switch) to gain two shouts, which normally are only available to Barbarian: Dual Wielding Call to Arms will result in only +5.5 Socket Weapons (Amn + Ral + Mal + Ist + Ohm)Ĭall to Arms (CTA) is a must-have weapon for almost all builds because it gives a huge bonus to life and mana. A maxed out Battle Orders buff requires the use of a Call to Arms on one hand (+1 All Skills and +3 Battle Orders) and a +3 Warcries or +3 All Skills weapon in the other hand for a total of +7. When a Barbarian views a 6/6/4 Call to Arms in-game, the display will automatically show 3/3/3 (this sometimes causes confusions when trading). It should be noted that Barbarians also benefit from these Oskills but they are limited to a maximum of +3 rather than 6/6/4. For instance, a textbook Hammerdin with Annihilus, Mara’s Kaleidoscope, Enigma, Spirit, 2x Stone of Jordan’s and Arachnid Mesh would have a level 18 Battle Orders (+86% life and mana) This figure is often much higher due to +skills. It adds a huge amount of survivability as well as mana regeneration.Īn un-boosted Call to Arms is able to provide a level 8 Battle Orders which is already a 56% boost to life and mana. This Runeword will often be a very high priority pickup that ranks just behind key items such as Enigma and Infinity. Its primary function is to provide the Barbarian Battle Command and Battle Orders buffs to characters who would not otherwise have the skill. Call to Arms is probably the most commonly used weapon switch in the game.
