Myth, the body armor runeword for the Barbarian, is arguably the worst runeword in the game. As both the Throw Barb and Singer Barb are trying to become more viable in the PTR, another avenue the developers could take is to re-purpose the runeword Myth to further help these builds become more effective early-to-mid game. For example, the useless Level 1 Howl/Taunt could be replaced with the following options below:
- +1-3 To Warcry (Barbarian Only)
- +1-3 To Double Throw (Barbarian Only)
- +X Mana After Each Kill
- +X to Attack Rating
