Hello,

I have a couple of perfect eth bases at the moment and was wondering what are the best options for runewords for them?

1. Eth CV 15 ed / 3 ar - 4 sox - maybe pride or ?
2. Eth Giant Thresher 15 ed / 3 ar - 4 sox - Infinity?
3. Eth Cryptic Axe 15 ed / 3 ar - 4 sox - Infinity?


I know it wont be easy but let me know your opinion!

thanks in advance

Eth CV = Pride

Eth GT = Infy

Eth CA = Insight

GL with rolls !

cv: not great for anything. pride or insight so you can use the auras, but dont expect your merc to do significant dmg. slow and unreliable with very high max causing overkill

gt: high value multiplicator for every rw, so go with the most expensive one (infy)

ca: highest absolute dmg. slow like cv but much more reliable due to smaller dmg range. my usual go-to for infy since much cheaper than gt. could also go for insight for hammerdin since phys dmg is needed against 2nd wave, for every other build the dmg is wasted. i suggest infy for this base as well

Sadly that CV 15/3 is not usable :(
