Quote:I think the best thing about blade fury is not the applied weapon damage but rather its ability to trigger effects like crushing blow and chance to cast. This makes one weapon truly stands out... crescent moon ideally in some ethereal elite weapon.
The power of this runeword cannot be underestimated. Crescent Moon rivals any weapon in the game, and will outclass even such monstrosities as Breath of the Dying in a Player-vs-Monster setting. On a zealot or werewolf, this weapon can rival the best uniques of 1.09d... and better them in most cases. Can you imagine two of these on a Frenzy Barb? How about the fact that one could CHEAPLY outfit Act 2 Greizmen with an ITD, Cruel weapon having the ability to cast a Static Field every 5th jab (read: ~every three seconds or so)?
And now, we see its application as a casting ingredient? Crescent Moon blade furies, Crescent Moon Iron Golems... it boggles the mind. It's like having the ability to build and utilize a Schaeffer's Hammer at ~1/2 the level requirement and DEFINITELY cheaper budget.
Your's for the wonderful price of a Shael, Um and Tir (highly crunchable runes) and a three socket "something". Even an exceptional base for this level 47 runeword results in a catastrophically effective weapon.
