Prevent Monster Heal

In the game: Prevent Monster HealPMHNot against players

How it works

Monsters you hit with Prevent Monster Heal stop regenerating life. Without it, a monster you stop attacking slowly heals back up; with it, the damage you have done stays done.

It matters most for slow killers and for monsters that regenerate quickly. It does not stop a dead monster from being raised again; for that see Slain Monsters Rest in Peace.

Blacktongue, Woestave and The Grim Reaper carry it.

Source: itemstatcost.txt (item_preventheal) and properties.txt over the property codes of the game's item tables, the runeword lines and skills.txt (build 3.3.93847). Magic affixes are the ones that can spawn; a runeword's line includes what its runes add in that slot. “LoD 1.14d” is the value in classic Diablo II's last patch where it differs (uniques, set items, runewords' own bonuses, runes and gems; from blizzhackers/d2data); a D2R chip marks what 1.14d did not have. “Strongest” ranks items by the top of their roll range. · Report incorrect data
