Base Stat Reduced After Runeword

I had a 3 Battle Order, 3 Socket

Jawbone Visor base. I made a Delirium and the 3 BO became a 2 BO. Anyone know why?

I have made a few Delirium helmets myself and this has never happened to me. Nor have I ever heard of such a thing happening.
Are you 100% sure it was +3 and not +2 to

Battle Orders?

I'm not 100% sure if this is applicable. But I know that for skills that can be granted to other classes (like +1

Zeal, or +3 BO), you are capped at +3 if you have that skills natively.

This is a quote from

Arreat Summit.

"*Call To Arms: Barbarians are capped at +3 to the skills

Battle Command,

Battle Orders, and

Battle Cry. For more information, go here to learn about "oskill" Skill Points (yes oskill is correct)"

Maybe it's a balance from that? But the +2 from the

Helm and +2 from delerium would put you at 4, and I know that items with bases with +3 to skill are highly sought after.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@davme_mcreg What you are talking about only applies to oskills and doesn't change the text of an item. It means that a +6

Battle Orders Call To Arms provides only +3

Battle Orders for a barbarian (effectively +4 since it also has +1 to all skills). But the Call To Arms will still show +6

Battle Orders in its text.

maybe i really did rember it wrong I cant be sure unless I help rune it lol
