Runewords — Reign of the Warlock

Reign of the Warlock, the expansion released on 11 February 2026 with Patch 3.0, added the Warlock class and five runewords. Most are aimed at the new class, and Vigilance also fits the Grimoire, the Warlock's new off-hand.

They can only be made in Reign of the Warlock mode. They were Ladder-only at launch and can now be made in non-Ladder games as well.

Patch 3.0 also renamed Hustle from Patch 2.6: in body armour it is now called Hysteria and in a weapon Mania, with the same runes and stats. Ladder Season 15 (Patch 3.3) has changed, Ladder-only versions of both.
