The Ith rune is inconsequential, but using both Ber and Jah puts making Enigma into direct competition with acquiring other highly desirable end-game items. The big problem with Enigma is the expense. Since these get stuck a lot, particularly in indoor areas with lots of small rooms and doors, having a quick way to bring them to you is, quite literally, a lifesaver at times.

It's also a quick and easy way to reposition wayward Mercenaries and minions, such as Necromancer skeletons or the Amazon's Valkyrie. Teleport isn't just for getting around quickly, although it's a major reason why people use it.

However, there is also a small but vocal minority of players that considers Teleport overpowered.ĭruids using Shapeshift abilities cannot use Teleport while Shapeshifted into Werewolf or Werebear form, so Enigma is less useful to them. The ability to Teleport at will makes this a premier armor choice for magic-find characters, since you can skip all the annoying trash and get straight to your quarry. Even Sorceresses often use this armor even though they can Teleport. This allows any class to Teleport as many times as they want, since there are no charges on Teleport.

As it stands, the +1 to Teleport is the 'killer app' of this armor, making this the perceived 'must have' of all end-game builds. Sure, it has +2 to Skills, good extra Defense, and a few other middling-quality traits, but that's not the point. If it wasn't for one feature, Enigma would likely be nothing more than a small niche armor for magic-find builds. +1-99% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items (+1/cLvl)
