Was the name "Crushing Blow" changed?

I was reading a guide and it said that the runeword "Steel" granted "Crushing Blow".

I made a flail with "Steel" and it worked, but the wording "Crushing Blow" isn't in the description.

My item has these same descriptions listed under steel here: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/runewords-original.shtml

Do I still have Crushing Blow, or is it just called Open Wounds now?

I think the guide you read might have mixed up Steel with Strength. Strength has 25 cb.

Both of them are very cheap weapon runewords and they're right next to each other in the runeword list.

Steel definitely does not have crushing blow. Open wounds is..well, Open Wounds.

I don't think so ... my weapon has Crushing Blow on it and I'm fairly sure I'm not retarded enough to misread that! :whistling:

What does each ability actually do?

Crushing blow deals a certain fraction of a monster's life, no matter how much it is. Very useful versus Baal. Essential in Ãœber Tristram.

Open wounds leads to a constant loss of life, depending on character level. It prevents regeneration, making it very useful against Ãœbers as well.

The Strategy Compendium has more information about it. See my sig for a link.
