>The question is, if the eth bug did not exist, would you still have put the runes in?
Damn straight I would. In fact I'd probably put in 4 of them and 2 different runes\jewels\gems in a 6 socket weapon. At least that's what I would do if Eth works as it should, instead of the buggy way it is. As it stands currently, I'm holding off on Eth, until (I'm assuming) it is fixed in the final release of 1.1.
>When you put the eth rune as part of a runeword, you're putting it for the sake of the runeword. Putting a rune because you know it gives you ITD is another story. I think the latter is lame. I would not blame Barbarians for putting points in masteries. It's not the duty of players to look out for these things.
Now that you mention it, is it just me or is the whole system of ITD in 1.09 especially in D2C, really confusing and messed up? I had a War scepter of Piercing in D2C 1.09, but the to hit display is either not showing the information properly. (It shows exactly what a regular weapon with no AR+ in the to hit display) Or I need to test it again to see if it has any effect vs monsters of equal levels as my chars.
But to reply to your statement, I personally wouldn't hold it against another player if they used a runeword with an Eth. Short of them using it in a dueling situation, unless all parties involved consented etc etc. I just just haven't made up my mind if I would use it for my own characters.
