Is there any good resource out there that lists the best items with sockets to use for rune words? I know some of the basic ones - but when I find a 5 socketed piece, its hard to pass it up without going through the motions of seeing what words would fit and if its the "best" type to look for.
usually you want superior, in weapons it can add 2 of 3 things, enhanced damage, durability, or attack rating. armour can add enhanced defense and durability.
sometimes you want ethereal items for runewords that have the indestructible mod, I.e. Death, or if you plan on using it for a merc because that way you dont lose durability. its okay for you to use ethereal items on strictly svs sorcs too, since attacks wont cause phys damage and eth items require less stats.
also make sure it is in the correct item. something like spirit isnt very useful in a phase blade because of the high dex req, so you can make it in a crystal sword or long sword for ease of use to casters.
for most items and runewrods you can check arreatsummit.
