Treachery, the only one I make

Treachery is the only one commonly used.

Cheap, lots of IAS, ctc fade and venom are very useful. A little bit of FHR.

I did make Bone once for a Fishymancer. The extra +1 to all skills over a Vipermagi allowed him to summon an extra warrior/mage. I've later decided two Um runes for the extra minions and mana wasn't worth the cost so I wouldn't do that again.

For nearly any melee build, Treachery is, by quite a margin, the best armor for the runes required.

Both Bone and Rain have the potential for an interesting ctc build, but they may not be effective. I've never tried it.

@Mursilis, have you ever tried it on a melee necro? I suspect that the 15% DR on Treachery would be more effective than the bone armor.

"Treachery"
Like others have mentionned, this is probably the best 1.11 Runeword that they came up with. CtC Fade, Venom, FHR, and IAS. Quite delicious for its cost.

"Bone"/"Rain"
Both are great for CtC Necromancer/Druid builds, although the percentages on "Rain" aren't very high (5/5 compared to 15/15 on "Bone"). "Bone" also has +30 All Resistances, which makes it quite nice. "Bone" beats "Rain" by a far gap.

"Myth"
Available +2 Skills for Barbarians at CHARARCTER LEVEL 25. It definately has some merit as a twinking armor. Dirt cheap.

The rest are crap, especially the Paladin one.

No, the only Necromancers I've played have been Fishymancers so can't say if the melee mods are of any use on Bone.

Peace is great for LLD melee characters because it has the Critical Strike skills. Double damage FTW!

Can a character only wear the armor designed for his class?

 

[lionheartthebrave]

Re: does anyone use the 1.11 runewords?

Nope, any character can wear it

Re: does anyone use the 1.11 runewords?

treachery looks nice indeed.

small question: can you have fade, venom and or BoS enabled at the same time?

Fade + Venom OR BoS + Venom.

That's just wrong, in every sense of the word. That was a traumatic and unfortunate incident that really doesn't not need to be brought up in a joking manner. Consider how someone who was actually there would react?
