Destruction in phase blade or cryptic axe.
Doom in Beserker Axe
Famine in Ettin Axe or Berserker Axe (it's useless anyways).

Thank you kindly
Do you think destruction will be of better use in a phase blade or the cryptic axe?

Well, you can try paying someone to give you runes and base. You make rw and give it back.

Na I already put in all the work and calculated how many runes I need for non ladder & ladder
& then I went in and bought all the runes I needed
And then I went through every build in max roll gg
And if an item was in there I notated which base it used so I could make it in that.

Im like 86% done
Im was just hung up on these few runewords because they are not used in any builds and are expensive so I figured if im going to waste high runes on them I might as well give them the appropriate base

Ty for the suggestion though
I dont mind as im already committed.
And it might be fun to mess around with some niche runewords on some toons
