CTA Archon Staff +6 BO

5 Socket Weapons (Amn + Ral + Mal + Ist + Ohm) Possible bases: War Staff, Rune Staff or Archon Staff. Call to Arms (CTA) is the best pre-cast weapon for Paladin because beside giving a huge bonus to life and mana, it also boosts Pala skills.
It is used as a second weapon set (switch) to gain two shouts, which normally are only available to Barbarian:
- Battle Command (+1 to all skills)
- Battle Orders (+35-92% to life/mana, based on shout's level - e.g. if you have 1000 life you will get up to 1920!)
Both shouts have about 3 min duration and should always be active on your character so it is worthwhile to keybind them (e.g. F4 Command, F5 BO, F6 Holy Shield as you should always cast BC first).
BO's level is only increased by items giving 'to all skills' - maximum level is 20 and only Barbarians can go higher.

Eth weapon worn by a caster using spells (not hitting enemies with melee attacks) will not lose durability and is considered superior because of the special ethereal appearance.

	Call to Arms (CTA) grants +1-6 to Battle Orders (BO) (Barb shout usable by any class). At level 1-20 it gives +35-92% to life/mana (+3% per level) and lasts for 35-225 seconds (+10 per level). This is one of the most powerful items in Diablo 2 and almost every build should use it.
	Call to Arms (CTA) grants +2-6 to Battle Command (BC) (Barb shout usable by any class). It gives '+1 To All Skills' and lasts for 25-205 seconds (+10 per level). This shout will increase Battle Orders (BO) level so cast BC first.
