Clearing an Elite pack usually means moving straight toward the next fight, but In-Geom turns that kill into a window for rapidly cycling through important Skills.
Its Unique effect dramatically cuts Skill Cooldowns after defeating an Elite pack, creating 15 seconds where cooldown-heavy abilities can be used far more aggressively.
This makes the Sword particularly interesting for fast-clearing builds that can move from one Elite encounter to another without wasting the effect.
How to Get In-Geom?
In-Geom is a Legacy Unique Sword that can be obtained as a random Unique drop while completing activities and defeating enemies capable of dropping Unique equipment.
Higher difficulties provide more opportunities to find Unique items, making endgame activities and encounters with large numbers of Elite enemies useful places to search for it.
As a Sword, In-Geom can only be equipped by classes capable of using this weapon type, so its usefulness also depends on whether it fits the weapon requirements of the chosen build.
In-Geom Effects and Affixes
In-Geom combines general damage bonuses with Damage Over Time support and Cooldown Reduction before adding its Elite-triggered Unique effect.
The version obtained for this guide has the following properties:
- +140 Weapon Damage
- x10% All Damage Multiplier
- x38% Damage Over Time Multiplier
- 5.0% Cooldown Reduction
- Defeating an Elite pack reduces your Skill Cooldowns by 8 seconds for 15 seconds
Some values can vary depending on the version of In-Geom that drops, so check the item’s affixes before deciding how well it fits a particular build.
How In-Geom’s Unique Effect Works?
Defeating an Elite pack activates In-Geom for 15 seconds, during which Skill Cooldowns are reduced by 8 seconds.
The effect becomes especially noticeable on abilities that would normally leave the build waiting several seconds before they can be used again.
Its limitation is that the bonus depends on Elite packs, making In-Geom considerably more effective when enemies can be cleared quickly and another Elite encounter is nearby.
Maintaining In-Geom Between Elite Packs
In-Geom naturally favors aggressive clearing because much of its value comes from taking advantage of the 15-second window after an Elite pack is defeated.
Moving quickly between packs helps prevent the effect from expiring before reaching another important fight, particularly in activities with high Elite density.
Long periods without Elite enemies reduce the value of its Unique effect, so slower encounters and isolated bosses may not provide the same level of Cooldown support.
Best Classes and Builds for In-Geom
In-Geom works best with Sword-compatible classes that rely heavily on Skills with meaningful Cooldowns and can consistently defeat Elite packs.
Fast-clearing builds can make particularly good use of the weapon because they are more likely to reach additional enemies while the 15-second effect remains active.
Damage Over Time builds can also benefit from its x38% Damage Over Time Multiplier, although the weapon becomes much more attractive when the build can exploit both this affix and the Cooldown effect.
How to Make the Most of In-Geom?
Prioritize Elite packs whenever possible, since defeating them is what activates the effect that separates In-Geom from a conventional damage-focused weapon.
Use important Cooldown Skills aggressively during the 15-second window instead of saving them unnecessarily, as the reduced Cooldowns allow those abilities to become available much sooner.
Movement Speed and efficient clearing can also indirectly improve In-Geom by reducing the amount of its active duration spent simply traveling toward the next group of enemies.
Is In-Geom Worth Using?
In-Geom can be extremely useful for fast-paced content where Elite packs appear frequently enough to keep its Unique effect relevant throughout most of the activity.
Its value becomes less consistent against encounters without regular Elite kills, where the weapon must rely primarily on its standard damage and Cooldown Reduction affixes.
This makes In-Geom more specialized than a weapon providing permanent offensive bonuses, but potentially much more impactful when its Elite-triggered effect can be maintained.
Verdict
In-Geom rewards fast Elite hunting with dramatically shorter Skill Cooldowns, making it a strong utility weapon for builds that regularly cycle powerful abilities.
Its Damage Over Time multiplier and standard Cooldown Reduction provide additional value, but the 15-second Elite effect remains the main reason to build around it.
Players capable of moving quickly between Elite packs can make In-Geom feel increasingly powerful as each successful fight helps accelerate the next one.
