Tyrael's Might is an Iconic Mythic chest armor that every class can wear, best known as a survivability piece: while at full Life your skills unleash a Divine Barrage, and the chest stacks resistances and damage reduction on top. In Season 14 it was pushed further toward defense - it fires fewer Divine Barrage projectiles but now grants 20% Damage Reduction.
That trade makes it a tanky, resistance-focused chest rather than a damage one. This guide covers what it does now, what changed, whether it is worth using, and how to get it.
What Tyrael's Might Does
It is a defensive chest with a small offensive rider:
Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
Item type | Mythic Unique Chest Armor (an Iconic Mythic) |
Class | Usable by all classes |
Unique effect | While at full Life, your Skills unleash a Divine Barrage; in Season 14 it also grants 20% Damage Reduction |
Defensive value | All Elemental Resistances and Maximum Resistance, plus it ignores durability loss on your gear |
Guaranteed affix | Only All Resistance is guaranteed now |
Mythic form | As an Iconic Mythic, the Mythic version maxes all affixes and adds 30% Unique Power |
The Divine Barrage only fires while you are at full Life, so the offensive half rewards builds that stay topped up. The defensive half - resistances plus the new damage reduction - is why people slot it.
What Changed in Season 14
The 3.1 rework rebalanced it from an offensive-leaning chest to a defensive one:
- Fewer Divine Barrage projectiles - the damage side of the effect was toned down.
- Gained 20% Damage Reduction - added straight into the Mythic power, pushing it toward survivability.
- Only All Resistance is guaranteed - like the other Iconic Mythics, its other affixes are now randomized under the two-fixed-affix rule.
The result is a resistance-and-mitigation chest. Its damage reduction is useful, especially for intelligence-based classes, but it has been outclassed as pure mitigation by several newer Mythics, so it is usable rather than irreplaceable.
Is It Worth Using in Season 14?
It comes down to what you want from the chest slot:
- For survivability - yes. The resistances, 20% Damage Reduction and durability protection make it a solid defensive chest, handy for pushing hard content and for Hardcore.
- For raw damage - usually no. A class-specific chest or a damage-focused Mythic will out-perform it, since the Divine Barrage was toned down.
- For intelligence-based builds - it fits best here, where the resistance and mitigation stacking pays off most. Check where your class wants its chest in our Season 14 class tier list.
Best Builds & Who Uses It
Because it has no class lock, any build can run it, but it shines in specific spots:
- Full-Life builds - anything that stays at full health keeps the Divine Barrage active, turning the defensive chest into a little extra damage.
- Tanky and Hardcore builds - the resistances, damage reduction and durability protection are exactly what survival-first setups want.
- Intelligence-based classes - Sorcerer and Necromancer setups that stack resistances get the most mileage from the mitigation.
It also pairs thematically with El'Druin, Tyrael's sword - both come from the same Mythic pool, so a farm session can turn up either.

Where It Drops & How to Craft It
Tyrael's Might is part of the Mythic Unique pool, so it can drop as a Mythic from any boss once you are on Torment 1 or higher, with the best odds from the seasonal Corrupted Reaper, the permanent Belial, or Kurast Undercity Mythic Tributes - the full ranking is in our Mythic Unique farming guide.
To target it by crafting, ignore older guides that send you to the Alchemist with four Sparks - that is the pre-Season 14 method. As an Iconic Mythic:
- The Jeweler and the Cube's Upgrade to Mythic only make standard Mythics - they cannot target it.
- Use the Blacksmith Iconic Mythic recipe: 2 Resplendent Sparks for a random Iconic Mythic, or wait for a natural drop.
- Recipe costs and the full order are in our crafting cheat sheet and Mythic Uniques 3.0 guide.
Tips & Reality Check
- Stay at full Life to keep the Divine Barrage firing - the offensive half only works while you are topped up.
- Slot it for defense, not damage. Its value in Season 14 is the resistances and 20% Damage Reduction, so build around survivability.
- It is strong for Hardcore and deep pushing where mitigation matters more than a few percent of damage.
- Do not force it. If a class-specific chest gives your build more, use that - Tyrael's Might is a survivability option, not a default best-in-slot anymore.
