Peace runeword testing

Peace runeword testing

ok i've gone ahead and made the peace runeword for my old lvl ** ice/strafe character who for some reason didnt need a valkyrie before (i think she was 1.08 or 1.09 cant remember, rarely played her in 1.10 but couldn't stomach to delete my first used to be highest char )

i dusted her off and took the risk with my 1.10 atma and twinked the armor and runes(it worked).

ok so the chance to cast valk is usefull and triggered quite often , then a thread gave me an idea to equip it on a merc.

so i did.

i waited for it to trigger, took some time then... HANG! (the game freezed up and i had to exit and click on an error msg.)

i never saw the valk but i think the hangs were caused by the merc casting valk. similar circumstances on both events.

has anyone tried this?
can anyone confirm this new bug?


---

oh and how i feel about the patch : a little disappointed (runeword wise) BUT atleast we don't have to throw away our old chars and make new ones like the old patches!

just an update:

so i played with the same char last night.

and whenever i do try to equip the armor to my merc it really does freeze the game(not immediately) when he seems to cast a valk (atleast i think its the ctc valk).

can anyone confirm this new bug?


oh well new patch = new stuff , but also new bugs

So, no Strafer with a merc and two valks. That sucks.

While we're on the subject of the new runewords, has anyone tested Treachery yet? I'm curious as to how much damage a level 15 Venom adds. With that and it's 45% IAS, this thing could give Fort a run for its money.

With hell monster multiplayer hitpoints in the tens of thousands, i doubt a few hundred poison damage will make a difference. More disappointing runewords

update:

ok i tried it on my holy shock / zealot.

the valk casts fine! no bug there

and i think the crit strike also helped.

(didnt have the patience to equip it on his merc tho , sorry.)

Yes I've among other have tested it. The ias works wonders and as the armor can be equped at lvl 43, 305-325 extra poison dmg is sweet (especely on a bowazon who will at that lvl maybe get a boost of round 50-100% dmg because of it, depends on bow ofc) ... In hell venom is of minor use, however the ias still rocks ...
