(Yeah I know it's technically thread necromancy, but I could not resist.)
Scarce is an understatement. Outside of SP testing situation, chances are almost any BotD weapon (or anything else involving some high runes) found in online realms are non-kosher.
The higher the runes (IMO almost anything above IST or so starts getting iffy), the higher the chances of them being duped or duping was involved in it's creation.
Aside from that, personally I find BoTD to be a bit over-rated. Yeah yeah uber damage omglolkthxbai. The poison nova is annoying. Some of the mods on it are useless on a merc. There's other weapons that can do well without the need for a ridicilously rare component, or contributes to cheaters and dupers online.
Like say, Crescent Moon, or Obedience runeword.
Despite what some people say on b.net and elsewhere, it -is- possible to build a decent setup without the use of questionable items.
