Abbreviaton for "Heart of the
Oak", a runeword available for creation in a mace
class weapon in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. It requires the runes (in this order) Ko Vex Pul Thul, and is generally preferred for caster type characters, due to it'
s bonuses to Skills (3 to all), 40% FCR (Faster Cast Rate), and 30-40 to all resistances. Most often it is seen in a one handed flail, due to the
low Strength requirements. Hotos with higher bonuses to resistances
will be seen as more valuable than those with lower resistance bonuses.
player 1: how is his cast rate so
high?
player 2: he's using a hoto probably
player 1: I need a hoto for my sorc, her resistances are crap
