Mist - new 2.4 runeword

New runeword for bows

Well it's nice to see another use for

Cham and

Gul.

Look at that huge +40 to all resists modifier. Wow!

Some love for Fiona and the rest of the girls and I am glad that they included

Cham there as well.

Dangggg. Big fan of this one, coolest of the 3 that have rolled out in the last 2 days in my opinion. A1 Mercs best friend right there.

Well that...is actually pretty cool. Might just replace

Windforce in the WF/Faith combo.

Crazy cheap (today) for what it is either way. I guess

Cham is bound to move up in the world after all.

This was my initial thought but new rune words are ladder only, isn't it? Which means this won't affect the price of existing non-ladder runes.

Actually, they did say their current intention was to roll the ability to make those into non-ladder after the season ends. So it would affect non-ladder pricing as well, just not as much off the bat as you'd have to wait a ladder season before you can make them.

Right, didn't realize this change with the new ladder system. Good to know all these new items will become available in non-ladder eventually!

The items will carry over either way. The question is merely if you can make new ones non-ladder. The ones you make in ladder will convert after the season as they always have and will remain usable non-ladder.

As per the dev stream, the assumption is you can make new ones but it didn't sound set in Stone quite yet. Something along the lines of "current plan".

Either way, I made sure I have a few

Cham and

Zod floating around, just in case they do move up. Not so much as a speculative income but rather because

Cham is basically the only high rune I actually use outside of runewords (there's just not enough stuff with anti-freeze on it!). For the raw rune function though..the current price is already pushing it.

Coming to think of it..is this confirmed as a bow only runeword? Or is that merely the assumption, based on the screenshot?

This'd actually be a pretty solid alternative to Pride on an A2 merc if it works in Poles or Spears. Sure, the Conc is a good bit lower but at least here you're also not handing your merc a weapon with no ED on it.

The

Concentration aura would be good on an act1 merc for a summon necro. However the freeze target hurts the usefulness a bit.

Could be good for a Summon Druid, as for him it doesnt matter if the corpses shatter to Iceshards.

True. Though an A2 might merc, especially with Reaper's, would still outclass a rogue with this. Assuming you don't get might from elsewhere. Unless the conc lvl just rolled really badly on this example.

Yeh was thinking the same. The 100%

Pierce and freezes target is great. Ant act 2 merc with Pride and

Holy Freeze or might is probably still better, although having a merc that sits back and stays alive may also be nice. Thematically I would prefer to use a Rogue merc, plus Mist is a lot cheaper than Pride.

I believe it’s just bows and crossbows

Source :

Aye, just saw that vid as well. Shame, really. Would've loved that in a

War Pike. Plus it would've given an option to

Spear zons, in case they really do become a thing.

This runeword will be great for Frostmaiden, better than Ice IMO. Ice phys damage blows so you can barely leech. 20% Item-based AR >>>> ITD. This is a suped up Melody and I’m here for it!

Matriarchal Bow and

Grand Matron Bow both get 5os from

Larzuk, so save them +3 bases y’all.

This runeword will change the gearing and skill distribution of bowazon. No need to give one point to

Pierce. Razor Tail no longer necessary.

I was wondering whether they have decided to change the stats display on gears. Change of piercing was never shown in existing gears.

Razortail has this stat but no exact percentage shown.
