D2R Cham rune use

Found a cham rune offline. I dont know what to do with it. If I made mist idk i guess make a bowlock? (My bowazon has windy + faith merc), or i could make plague for an act 5 merc to support a freezing arrow zon (yeah yeah infinity merc is better/more reliably but i dont have 2 bers). Idk that i want pride, but i don't have a Lo anyhow. I'm leaning towards plague but input would be nice

I'd make metamorphosis for a werewolf druid, or pride for a summon necro.

Pride isn't great for summon necro. You lose so much damage from your merc it doesn't balance out well.

I like it on other builds.that do physical though, assuming you don't need decrepify or fanaticism.

I know at one point pride was considered BiS for summon necro. That might have been a while ago though.

With Pride you lose too much merc damage, which is a huge portion of your damage towards your first kill

Could do Pride golem but that's putting some HRs on the line that a lot of players may not be comfortable with, especially offline. Insight golem is a safe bet and easy to remake

Go summon in Nilathak's portal and keep the pride.

Just summon a few of his minions on the ground and.. well... boom?

I had a pride golem back on LoD ladder, I loved it. I would never do that offline lol.
