Kinda noob question :-/

What exactly does Eth BoTD CB mean.
Im assuming its a Breath of the Dying made on a Collosus Blade, but what does the Eth mean, can you add another socket after you make a runeword or how does that work?

Also what is the best prospect for making a BoTD in, do you look for a superior 6 socket CB or is there specific superior stats, etc. And is a CB the best way to go for BaBas ww/conc barb? I want to know what to keep an eye out for in my travels so that when I have all the runes I need, I will be ready.

Also does anyone know of a good rune hunting guide? :)

I am recently coming back to the game from a big break (since 1.06) so things are a bit different :D

Thanks much for any info you could give me :heart:

it's ethereal.

"eth" almost never refers to the Eth rune because no one really ever has a need to talk about it anymore.

Ahh, that makes sense, what is the maximum %dmg increase that an ethereal wep can give to the wep. Also Is there such thing as a Superior Ethereal 6 socket weapon, and if so is that what i should look for?

[prion]

I think the increase is fixed at 50%, not sure tho. And yes, that weapon is possible for any weapon that can get 6 sockets.

The most sought after ones are Berzerker axes, but you should also pick up any elite socketed polearm to see if it may have some use value.
