NEW RUNES!!!

omg, omg, omg ... Blizzard just released 23 new runewords, they are ladder-only but WOW! Thank goodness I didn't see it before the test, else I'd have spent the last few nights trading for runes to make the runewords. Hmm .. very very nice effects they give. I can see the rune economy shooting right up again. Here are some of the most interesting ones (to me at least - I play tactical ranged attacks instead of barbaric hacking. And that's why I make silly novel characters like bow-wielding paladins and spear-throwing barbarians).
