I understand runewords being kinda weak on their own since you can craft great jewels and superior quality + lucky recipe before socketing them, but why the flying f*** are most sacred uniques so bad? For example, druid bows are extremely underwhelming. Azgar's mark used to be amazing. I remember it had something like 50% arrow on striking if I'm not mistaken. Even the damage is extremely bad for some reason. 50-100 flat and 170% enh damage? So I need to spend the little space for MOs for 2 enh damage MOs just to hit the cap?
Am I wrong here guys? I always end up crafting something decent for my characters that is always better than sacred uniques with small exceptions (meshif's iron parrot's storm crow effect is convenient and it also has magic find, but I swap for a crafted dagger for bosses). For example, I have a 13% deadly strike 580 max damage bow on my amazon that's significantly better than most SU bows, exception being the rapid wyrmshot bow for farming purpose and a near perfect rolled etrayu probably.
