Well things are pretty slow around here, so I'll see if anybody wants to weigh in on my latest decision.
My lady and I found Runemaster Ettin Axe running around in the tombs in single player, and I've been pondering what to put in the five, beautiful sockets. Now I know what you're thinking; "Well why don't you just get an eth botdz?" or "Get an eth Runemaster and put in a zod and four 40ed/15ias jewels." Those would be fantastic suggestions, except that this is SINGLE PLAYER. Now I do have the luxury of having my gf's computer and a cross-over cable, so I can move stuff around on my account, but I don't have the luxury of running out to pick up a few Ber's and Zod's.
So...
This is my current train of thought.
1 Amn for 7% life steal
2 Shaels for 40% ias
2 Eths for -50% enemy defense
This would probably be for a fury barb, but will almost certainly end up getting reused for other builds.
If any of you fine forumites would like to point out any glaring mistakes I'm making, please do. It would be nice to have a second opinion.
shaels and either ohms for dmg, lo's for ds or um's for ow
or if u ever find ias/resist jewels u could use them to up your res in hell.
u wont need amn
if u cant get those high runes just use dmg modifiers like eld and pul to do extra dmg for chaos or tomb runs u can always unsocket them when u find higher runes too

Well I don't have any high runes to put into something like this, (actually only have one, and it's an Ist) so no Los or Ohms. I don't actually understand how people get them anyway. I play a fair bit, and I've only ever seen one HR drop from a regular monster. It was a Vex, which allowed me to make a Hoto. Anywho...
I suppose when you (carambolage) say that I won't need the amn, you're figuring that life steal from other equipment will be enough. Is that correct?
I think the eld/pul idea is interesting, I'll have to consider that. Puls are a little difficult to come by, but I have two or three of 'em I think.
Neither of you mentioned the eths though. Is there no advantage to cutting everybody's defense in half? I still haven't been able to find an angelic ammy to go with the ring, so I don't really have any kind of real AR buff. Any thoughts?

i dont know exactly how eth works, but i dont think its -50% defense, i know jah has ignore though and that works in pvm. elds and puls are easy to come by so use them to up the damage to certain creatures when you hunt for higher runes/items, and when u get them, just unsocket the runemaster
and yeah, im assuming you get leeches from other equips.

Just fyi, I ended up putting in Shael Shael Pul Eld Eth. Also made an Ettin Axe Crescent Moon to go with it. Excited to see how it turns out.
