Countess runes & making runewords

[Brista]

Interesting

The probabilities of high level runes in Countess (Hell) are much higher than comparable Act 1 bosses (I looked at The Smith, Rakanishu and Treehead)

So the Countess has two possibilities to drop good runes

1) Countess Hell - basically a regular boss drop but weighted towards rune drops. Up to Lo can drop. Augmented by more players in the game. Runes from this TC are much less likely to drop than Runes from Countess Runes TC

2) Countess Runes - rune only drops. Up to Ist. Hampered by increased player count

In any event she is very worthwhile

Runes that she can drop unlock the following runewords:

Countess (Normal)
drops up to Ral from her Runes TC and up to Ral from her The Countess (Normal) TC

Leaf
Malice
Nadir
Stealth
Steel

Countess (Nightmare)
drops up to Io from her Runes TC and up to Ko from her The Countess (Nightmare) TC

Lionheart
Silence
Venom

Call to Arms
Chaos
Crescent Moon
Delirium

Kingslayer

Stone

Can't drop the runes for:

Fury
Beast
Bramble
Breath of the Dying
Chains of Honour
Doom
Enigma
Eternity
Famine
Hand of Justice

Note: although she can drop such high runes the runes above her Runes only Treasure Class will drop very rarely although still more often for her than for other bosses

Thanks to Tub and TrueMuppet for the heads up!
