Hi everybody! This thread will be showing item variants that I have in my mind. The main idea is to show various new Runewords that require socketing two Great Runes (like Taha+Auhe, Qor+Krys etc). I will be posting many item variants (ideally, 2 RWs per item type aka daggers/druid staves/boots/amazon shields etc) till I get bored. :)

This is NOT a suggestion thread. I don't care if any item ideas from this thread will be used in future Median patches or not. I like playing with testv code, so this is just my brainstorming ideas, nothing more :)

Everything looks pretty balanced, and there's interesting stats on some! As much as I love Garuda (my personal favorite so far) I believe it might be too strong. I'm playing an assassin this season and a huge chunk of my skill points are being used on the 'ways'. For a crossbow to instantly get all of those skill points for free (which is A LOT of damage), is too crazy for a runeword. It would be better if it were a SSSU. I think that if you want to add elemental damage with the 'ways' skills in the runeword they should be of a lower level, as + to all skills would raise it a bit anyway.

I'm not trying to say it's a bad idea... I love it! Its just that i think it needs to be toned down a bit if it's going to be a runeword. But I may be wrong. You're more experienced with the mod than I probably am, so you can make of this what you will. Keep up the cool ideas! I hope Sigma developers are taking notes :-D

Well, Ways mostly benefit from hard points, so the total damage is not meant to be capable for oneshotting everything. If I did the calculating right, Way of the Phoenix with 30 hard points (assassin char) and 0 soft ponits gives you 3-4k fire damage, while 30 soft points (passive oskill from the crossbow) only grants 450-600 fire damage, which is more balanced. :)

Oh, ok that makes more sense. I didn't know that it was different for soft points. Well now I want to find that item!!! Hahaha :P

+1 for the effort and brainstorming. The feedback and ideas from community is always a happy thing.

Now small portion of critical things about items you showed.
Sword - looks like pure melee/wdm char weapon. Thus mana regen makes no sense. Even for wolf.
Long bow - looks like weapon for ranged char. Taking consideration the range i think balefire proc might be useless for example for cascade druid/baragge amazon just because the main atack will kill enemy before the proc even reaches it. If you use proc as negative balancing feature - on striking + haraigami probably counters that ez.
Xbow - well looks like necro weapon, sadly necro already has dragonfire oil, powerfull buff and debuff.
Stave - too good item unless you make runes unsocketable in next patch. And ED in it - why ?
Scepter - seems ok. Would like to see some negavite stats to balance it out a bit. Like -60% FHR/FRW or -5 % to block.

The sword's mana regen is the stats from the Auhe rune. Same for the staff's 30%ed from Sha'ad.
