General Notes

Griswold's Legacy is designed for a Paladin, with armor, scepter, helm and shield. This set is especially good for paladins that don't have many points in the defensive auras tree, as the ornate armor in this set gives +2 to all defensive auras.

This set is exceptionally difficult to obtain, with 3 items in the highest treasure classes in the game.

• You can gamble Set and Unique items in v1.09+. The odds are roughly 1/1000 for set items. (This assumes you have the correct item type. For exceptional or elite items, the odds are much longer, since you must get lucky on the item type upgrade, and then work the 1/1000 chance of scoring the set item. Higher Clvl = better odds of exceptional/elite items when shopping.)
• Item Level: Used in many in-game calculations. Monsters must be of this level to drop the item.
• Clvl req is the character level you need to be to be able to wear the item.

Weapon Notes

• Damage Bonus: This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage. Multiply by the listed value per 100 points in that stat. All bows are 100 Dex, almost all melee weapons are 100 Str, most throwing weapons are 50/50.
• Weapon Speed: A relative comparison to other weapons of the same type. 0 is the base -10, -20, etc is faster, 10, 20, etc is slower, always in increments of 10. Each 10 is equivalent to an SIAS item. Previously items were listed with WSM modified by ISA on the items, we have revised this to show the Weapons base speed (WSM) before ANY IAS.
• Range: Melee only. From 1 (least) to 5 (most) in D2X. Numbers are fixed across item classes: a 3 javelin = a 3 sword = a 3 hammer, etc.

Armor Notes

• Light Armor: No stamina or speed penalties.
• Medium Armor: +5% stamina drain and speed penalty.
• Heavy Armor: +10% stamina drain and speed penalty.

Shield Notes

• Shield Blocking information can be found on the shields page.
• Smite damage is for the Paladin only.
• Weight: All shields are light, medium, or heavy. In Diablo II this only matters for tower shields, which slow your running speed and increase stamina drain 10%. In D2X it will probably effect blocking speed as well as running speed.

This is an Expansion-only set.

Set Bonuses

Partial set bonuses stack. If you are wearing three items, then you will get the bonus for wearing two items as well as the bonus for wearing three items. Full set bonuses stack on top of the partial bonuses, so if there is a partial bonus of +40 Life, and a full bonus of +40 Mana, with the complete set, you would receive both +40 life and +40 mana.

• * The displayed Aura has no effect, other than making you look cool.
