How do you feel about sanctuary in chaos runs? Honest question.

/e I’m pretty sure that’s the one with aura to kb undead. Used on a3 ice merc


I dislike it
I want monster running towards me so they get hit by hammers and die. knocking them back is counter productive.

Now it is great at cc so I guess it could be good if your hdin is weak and struggling to stay alive

i've had it work with packs of monsters get blasted back into the pathing of the hammers.

but i like it a lot when lord is extra fast, extra strong, with fanat. even with bis gear, he can stomp me.

If let alone, monsters that are not in the path of hammers walk towards you until they enter the path of hammers. Then they get stun locked until they die.
Sanctuary can knock monsters into the path of hammers, but it can also knock them out of it.
For sanctuary to knock a monster into the path of hammers, there need to be hammers behind the monster, which is often not the case, because hammers spawn on you, not behind monsters.
In particular, monsters that are out of range of the hammers normally walk in and die, but with sanctuary they can't enter the hammer field
Also sanctuary tends to knock grand vizier out of the map
