I'm getting the impression that secret runewords always contain each of the 6 unique elemental runes. If so that means that if I want to find the secret runewords for myself, I shouldn't bother slotting runes into items that aren't capable of having 6 sockets?

[Stealthmaster]

Yes, 6 sockets are required. Fortunately, even with removing jewels from vendors you still can easily find 6 random jewels in K3KBA and use socket punch recipe in 0 socket item.

here's the secret runewords:

Hi, I'm planning on making a fortress-reanimator barb...
1. Do reanimates have different time life? If they do, how long/short is it for a uber boss? Uber monster? Veteran?
2. Do reanimates benefit from stances?
3. Which is better quality(uber) or quantity(elite/regular) reanimates?
4. Skills/gears recommendation will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

1. Their life time is the same, no matter if they're unique or not
2. Yes, greatly
3. There are only a few quality reanimate out there, to name a few: Fairy Witch from

Gonnagal's Dirk

and Quov Tsin from

Vizjerei's Ritual

. Both have incredible damage even without any support. And quality reanimates also have to deal with low reanimate chance -> low consistency. Tl;DR: Quantity (usually) > Quality.
4. Get sacrifice from

[Gekko64]

current setup is pretty good, but 16 pt in wolf companion is enough and you want both snake and eagle maxed, also 1pt stormblast and use thunderslam to spread poison with snake stance.

[annihilus5]

ok will change that up, as far as stats go do i go enough str for gear > rest dex? or is vit needed.

Also where does sustain come from in this setup? Should I have LL jewels?
