When you're making a runeword, you apply two sets of mos to it. The first set before making the runeword, and the other set after making the runeword. This works, because the base item is counted separately from the runeword. Because of the existence of this, I was just wondering whether or not the jewels were counted for the base item or the runeword; however, as Nitz pointed out the information is mostly pointless.

Does jewels count as the first item (base) or the second item (runeword)?
Also, does the bonus of the rune itself apply? Or does it get overwritten with the ruenword bonuses?

I didnt know that. U mean u can orb a low level runeword 10 times then?

For some reason I said mo cap when I just meant ed cap.
Just tested it, doesn't work. :-]

Was Trap Rat still a decent build? I've found myself lots of dying on Worldstone Hatred Act 5. What is the main playstyle to Trap Rat? Are boosting damage output or boosting damage reduction or boosting elemental resistances?

Where can i get a MO with -enemy resistance?
Some guides mention it but vendors don't seem to have them.

These MOs were removed in 2017.

traprat playstyle is quiet simple, its just spam quillstorm and stutter step:
those 3 stats are pretty much all achieveable, damage can be achieved by weapon mostly and jitan armor which is defensive and offensive
elemental ress can be achieved by any item, helpful is a honorific item with 30 all ress and other useful stats like tcd or fhr

Hi. D2 veteran but brand new to Median. Reading a lot of info but it can be confusing as there have been many changes and some posts are old so it's difficult for me to determine what's what.

That being said, I am trying to decide on my first play-through character. Any suggestions? I started a Bowazon and want to keep going that route but I just want to make sure it is actually a viable build for being a noob to Median and that it won't be a terrible uphill battle for me the entire time playing until I get better gear.

Let me know suggestions. Thank you!

bowzon is doable, glass cannon though but viable
if you havent done already take atleast a quick peek at this guide to get a quick overview
deciding on what you should play else theres plenty of strong options out there: totemancer, unholy caster paladin , throw barbarian
