Dream Helm: Can the Paladin really accumulate or synergize auras? Yes, but there are limits (Part 2)
Dream is a runic word used on helmets and shields. Requires an extremely rare Rune in the form of JAH. All characters can wear a Helm or Shield with the Dream Rune Word, but Paladins benefit the most as they have synergistic abilities with respect to the Holy Shock Aura that Dream provides.
Technically, any character can equip a Helm / Shield Dream Runeword. But paladins benefit more, because only they could level up Holy Shock’s twin synergistic abilities: resist lightning and save. By having high levels in each of these two abilities, they can really increase the damage of the Holy Shock Aura provided by Dream.
+ 20-30% Faster hit recovery (varies)
When your character catches it, there are some animation frames. If your opponent hits you for 1/12 of your hit points or more, you also run the risk of being stunned. Faster Hit Recovery helps your character to recover from the blow of his enemies; The more you have, the faster you can recover from blows and dish out your own damage.
+10 vitality
It’s not a huge amount by any means, but it’s still useful for having those extra hit points in a fight.
Increases maximum health by 5% (helmets only)
+50 to health (shields only)
Both mods increase life, depending on whether you form the Dream Runeword on a Helm or Shield. Obviously, if you have more than 1000 health points, it would be more advantageous to create Dream in a Helm. However, it would very much depend on whether you have another Helm / Shield that provides better stats and mods to your character.
All resistors + 5-20 (varies)
Dream also offers players a little boost to all resistances.
Resume:
Dream Runeword is attractive to paladins who are already maxed out in both Resist Lightning and Salvation, and want to make use of Holy Shock Aura Dream grants. Other classes or builds will find that the small increase in Health and All Resistances does not justify the high cost of Sleep.
Note: As of Patch 1.13, equipping a Helm and Shield with the Dream Runic Word will no longer accumulate Holy Shock aura at level 30.
