Description
I was hit with a realization earlier and wanted to ask you guys. According to every data base I've read Rune Master rolls with 3-5 sockets. However everyone I've found had 5 sockets, and I've found quite a few. All the ones for sale on this site are also 5 sockets. Has anyone ever seen this Axe with 3 or 4 sockets?
Can be used to make Runewords:

I think I only caught this once with 5 sockets in like 10 drops. Seems that all the ones with 5 sockets were reserved to you. 
I will be mostly offline for the next 2 months. I won't keep any trades active during this period. I will hold another giveaway on my return.
You can contact me for rune trades if you see me online during this period. Best of luck!

pm me here (d2. Io) for trade
I always seem to find them with 4 sockets.
They do exist! Haahaahaa
Thank you Queegon for correcting my error filled post!
Being ethereal raises a weapon's base damage by 50% and Ohm also does adds its 50% ED to the existing enhanced dmg roll.
Here is the actual math since I have to redeem myself for spreading fake news:
- Ettin Axe base Dmg (0 ED): 33-66
Ethereal Ettin Axe base Dmg (0 ED): 49-99
Rune Master with perfect ED roll (270 ED): 105-244
Ethereal Rune Master with perfect ED roll (270 ED): 181-366
Rune Master with perfect ED roll socketed with 5 Ohm (270+250 ED=520ED): 263-610
Ethereal Rune Master with perfect ED roll socketed with Zod + 4 Ohm (270+200=470ED): 362-732
It's actually a pretty versatile weapon.
I’d also hold out for an Eth one because repairing melee weapons takes too long
Doesn't quite work like that, no.
TL;DR Ethereal + Zod > Non-ethereal + Ohm.
Ethereal raises the base damage of weapon by 50% and I'm sure we can agree that, eg. avg100 damage weapon at 100%ED is worse than avg150 dmg weapon at 50%ED. The ED applies to base damage, multiplying the already multiplied, essentially double-dipping, in case of ethereal weapons.
There's exactly one case where Zod is equal to Ohm and that's an ethereal weapon with zero ED on it compared to a non-ethereal with precisely 50% ED from one Ohm or affix.

Corrected my post!
That's awesome thanks. And I love that about D2, the answer as usual = "it depends"!
