Open Wounds

Open Wounds (OW) is a modified version of life regeneration. It is basically negative life regen, which is not set off against the target's life regeneration, but cuts it off entirely, then replaces it with OW for eight seconds. There is no resistance to OW, but it only seems to work against a target that has already been wounded. For more information, please refer to the Open Wounds section of Librarian's Diablo II FAQtoids.

Where can I get open wounds?

Equipment:

Gore Rider war boots (10%)

Riphook razor bow (30%)

Crow Caw tigulated armor (35%)

Toothrow sharktooth armor (40%)

Sockets:

Um rune (25%), when socketed in a weapon

OW equipment stacks, but the penalty for ranged attacks is 50%. Hence, a Riphook actually has a 15% chance to inflict OW.
