All regular runes are white-colored, except for GR that have purple+white color. Elemental stones and unknown skulls are red-colored.

MF does not affect rune drop at all. Increasing the number of players ingame reduces monsters' nodrop chance, so you get better chances to get a rune.

hi, 1 more question: I tried to kill kabraxis with wolf druid, not successful, kab just kept pouncing all the times and too many summons overlap his balefire sometimes, i watched a vid of roman1, in which kab mostly walks. I have 33% slow target. beside it he seems rarely drops phys immunity, managed to get him to 1/2, then... what i said above happened >_<.
So what made him always pounces instead of walking like that?

Heroic shield bosses are much easier with a built that handles them well, for example rain of fire or hailstorm, combined with -199 enemy res and +500 elemental spell damage make most ubers very easy.

It is not overpowered. 100% avoid is given for about 0,5 second. Shadow refugee is your main LMB/RMB skill.

Once you hit lvl 120 the avoid time is reduced by 2 frames and you will get hit all the time, it's a spell made for leveling.

Assuming I use a superbeast cornerstone, hit 4 frames per attack and stay at lvl 119 would I be immortal?

A Median XL guru... a true book of knowledge
I used to be under the impression that backstab avoid lasts 3 frames at max level (from a post by Marco on the old forums). However from what I can see this actually lasts 4 frames at maximum level. So theoretically if you can keep hitting something without missing or the target avoiding you will be immune with a 4fpa morph.

Even without a superbeast morph the skill is in no way useless. 4/7 Frames of 100% avoid means you have 57% reduced damage from ALL sources as long as you keep hitting. So while the damage per attack will never be as high as Crucify you still get a sweet defensive utility.

Also worth mentioning is that the crushing blow bonus applies to ALL your attacks for the duration of the avoid. So if you have something like a Broadside running then keeping Backstab up will probably give you the highest dps output.
