Damn! I was just about to post this. After noticing that Wind, I even
spent an Eternity checking whether there were any more new things there.

You're not fast enough to match me! But then again it's no uncommon for
Finns to lose to Swedes. ;-)

Yes. Then you could make Kal-Jah-Pul-Lo, "beer bottle". (Actually
should be without the h.) A fact that has been recently endlessly
pointed out to me by my 10-year old Diablo crazy friend. It never
seems to get old for him.

I'm going to make it in a Wirt's leg, of course. Finally an uber
runeword for Wirt's leg!

I also want to make a lololololo sword, so I can take it to trade
games and beg for offers. (...but you don't trade, right? I'll just
have to explain the joke for you, then. (No harm in that, jokes can
only get better by explaining!) It seems like nobody knows the true
meaning of "lol" anymore, so many people believe they can get more
effect by stacking lols. Commonly used when haggling.)

Though "beer bottle" could be a good runeword, imagine Kal El as an
armor runeword.

Man of Steel (Kal El) 2 socket armors

100 % chance to avoid/deflect missiles
Ability to see all enemies through walls and mazes ala Maphack
Level 99 Cyclone Armor
Level 99 Arctic Blast
500% Faster Run/Walk
+1,000 to Strength
Indestructible

The only thing I could think of would be for a Fire Druid with Cyclone
Armor. Level 20 Armor synergized with lvl 13 Twister gives 511
elemental absorb. Rather costly absorb considering you need a Sur for
it. Level 9 unsynergized Tornado is not enough damage to make it worth
using up a high level rune.

*Sigh* Just what we needed, another crappy runeword. It'd be just fine for a
mid-level weapon, but Sur has a friggin lvl 61 requirement, and at that lvl,
Wind is just not that good. For starters, Crescent Moon is a better weapon
entirely, both in usefulness and affordability. An Um is a lot easier to get
than a Sur, plus it can be used 14 lvls earlier. Besides, Sur is used in
Bramble, Hand of Justice, and Eternity, so it actually has trade value to
high level traders-who would use it in Wind?

A Crescent Moonish rune word for bows and crossbows would be super.
Affordable runes and good stats.

Passion? Not as good bonuses, but damage is similar. But have you
realized that in trades Windforce is cheaper than Crescent Moon? (The
ones with 6 % mana leech go for Pul these days.)

What's really needed is a boost for bows in general. They should drop
the damage penalty on Strafe/MS, modify the Dex/bow damage formula or
something like that.

Trading is for chumps. ;-) Oh, and I didn't know Passion went into bows as
well. The +1 to Berserk and Zeal had me fooled.

Haven't played a Bowazon in 110 yet and I'm not sure I will. Unless the
missing Mavina pieces drops that is.
