And yes, I am highjacking the thread, and I know it's bad, I'll just go out to the kitchen and hit myself with a pan.
Seriously, neither runeword would be my first choice for an enchantress -- except Stone, with a teleportable clay golem would br great for melee. But both my melee sorceresses use Guardian Angel, one upgraded, one not. Ninety five percent resist all has something that can be said for it.
My ladder enchantress wears an unhorked Skin of the Viper Magi, though my barbarian horked one last night. Sadly tonight his little rogue died twice. Once to the council, and once to the bloodlords in durance 3. A day ago she did them fine, I guess she got a little overconfident.
My opinion is still that a Dragon Talon assassin is the best use for Duress. No one can apply crushing blow or other effects to a single target more quickly. (Please correct me if I am wrong.)
