Tomb Reaver is a unique Cryptic Axe from Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.
With a high damage output, the useful ability to resurrect fallen enemies, and a boost to Resistances, Tomb Reaver is a safe, all-around good weapon for physical fighters. Its boost to Magic find is particularly useful for treasure hunters.
Ethereal Tomb Reavers with 3 sockets and good stats are among the rarest and most sought-after items in the game, since they can be socketed with Zod and other runes/jewels to boost their raw damage and become one of the most powerful weapons for melee fighters specializing in magic find.

Trivia[]
The name appears to be a reference to two Eidos games: Tomb Raider and Soul Reaver.
In Tomb Raider, the main character is an adventurer treasure hunter, explaining the Light Radius, Better Chance of Getting Magic Items and Enhanced Damage effects, while in Soul Reaver the main character is a reanimated vampire ghostly entity that feeds on souls and shifts between the regular and astral plane, explaining the Increased Damage and Attack Raiting to Undead, increased Resistances, chance to Reanimate and Life Leech effects.
