Its all about setting setting the right limit and categories
Something like…
WHITES = runewordable
MAGIC = 1 - 2 affixes no effect standard
RARES = 3 - 4 affixes no effect standard
RUNEWORD = no affixes but powerful effects.
SETS = Rares with effect or stat boost starting from 2 set colected…
UNIQUE = Rares with legendary effect
LEGENDARY = 4 Affixes with 1 - 2 effecs
MYSTIC = CAN ONLY CARY ONE super rare effect + affixes
And another ting concerning sets and runewords could be what slot they should be limited to. Like
I wouldn’t be still alive if it wasn’t for this…shadow. I was carrying wares to the village. A short route leads through the forest. I wish i could avoid this part. Those damn bandits saw me and started chasing. But i didn’t want to just give up all my stuff. So i ran. Of course i didn’t get far. They catched me soon and blocked my way. Drew their weapons. I was unarmed. But they probably didn’t want any witness. And then, one of them fell to the ground. An arrow, right through his heart. I could only perceive a dark, hooded person, just for a second and then it vanished again. An other bandit fell to the ground. They split up to spot him. But one after an other got shot down, while i could see the dark shadow, always just for a short moment until he disappeared. When they were all dead, i wanted to thank him, pay him for my life. But he was gone.

Hmm ya your right i meant more like it should be primary focused on char boosting 1 Crit every 5 sec doesnt make a diff it was just that it fit right in there with the Lore you made for the Runeword imho
Its also gonna be hard to create a good variati of Runewords if we cant mix it up but still keeping a primary focus…
we could also make a little list of effects that would be cool to se
That’s the thing atm, we don’t know all the combos and how they will or wont work will builds.
I see it as a great way to make builds different, I also expect that some odd combos could be a lot of fun, just poking fun at PoE, after drinking a Potion you gain the power to clear a screen of all mobs, Joking.
They did mention that they are working on a progression system for runes. I would love to see rune words work a lot differently than D2.
Take their trigger rune words which isn’t a bad idea at all. You can add trigger effects to socketable magic and rare items that will have the trigger and the affect. But when it is put into a socketed white item it changes to become a definite rune word with a definite name that would have static affixes where only the numbers change in value each time you make the rune word. That rune word would also keep the trigger and affect of the runes used in making it.
Then in other rune words you can have all kinds of affects that are not trigger based. Maybe having a rune word that would give you a percentage chance of a shower of rocks level x (I am thinking of the unique belt from Diablo 2 Median XL Sigma called Deadfall)
There is so much potential for depth with rune words, legendaries and sets as long as they don’t keep with the MMO funnel players into only one item type at end game we will be fine.
Cool story, if you changed the time on the special effect to 2 sec not attacking and 3 sec stealth (Break if damaged or skill is used…
