Woah! Nice Jo rune. Is that readout consistent with what is shown ingame, though?

Sweet! Any actual usefulness in 1.07 (or 1.08?)

Made my first Oath. Rolled a 215%. Me thinks I should stop making runewords where variable stats matter.

I swear, they must have made oath so cheap because they knew everyone would want to roll it half a million times to get one good roll.

Agreed, and I'll re-roll it, but still, it's damn annoying and the spread on that thing is so wide!

That Jo rune looks like it says Io rune on the screenshot? That must have been awfull if both runes looked the same back then.

What on earth is a Jo rune?
Which version is it? Is it useful?

iirc it is what Jah was called pre-1.09. I don't recall ever seeing one around here though. The normal use for HRs from earlier patches would obviously be bramble/CTA, but since that's not an option in this case, I too am very interested in hearing about any plans.. I know there is a whole bunch of 1.07 RWs, but I believe most of them are quite useless.

Yes it is Jah, they were changed. There is a bunch, only other one I can remember is Po to Pul?

No idea how useful they are though.

Did a search, there were many back then: http://www.purediablo.com/forums/showthread.php?220954-Complete-1-07-Runeword-List

Sadly it doesnt say what the stats are.

 

[Korlic]

Found another thread about it, but most of the listed RWs are crap. Beauty and Bonespear seem like decent RWs for their prize, though:http://www.diablo2.com/forum/version-1-07-t697.html

 

[Kestegs]

The problem is that most of the 1.07 words will crash ATMA.

Nice find though! :thumbup:

Jo is indeed the 1.07 version of Jah. Io is called Po in that version (which is moderately funny to anyone speaking german ).

1.07 runewords are overpriced and generally useless. That means the Jo is also fairly useless. 1.09 Fury seems like the closest not completely useless way to use it.
The 25% slow mod would probably change to ITD in later versions, so there's no chance of a fancy Faith...

Basically, it's a fancy paperweight.

 

[Korlic]

Wouldnt it be possible to make some crazy good crafted PB, and socket it with Jo? Seem to remember someone with a lvl 99 pala who used a crafted 1.07 PB.

 

[Korlic]

It doesnt have ITD, but slows target by 25%, and thats why it would be very good in a crafted Phase Blade Possibly a crafted bow could also be used, but I am not sure how good they could get.

It is a pretty paperweight though :loving:

 

[Kitteh1]

That is a point. Would it still be Jo when forwarded, as unique items are?

 

[Korlic]

huh... niffty. I'm not sure it would retain that when forwarded, but if so, that would make it all kinds of crazy useful.

Makes it utterly useless in 1.07, though. Hit Slows Target % only applied for a hit recovery cycle back then (and was still capped at 75%, making the 100% HST on 1.07 Kelpie Snare truly heartbreaking)

Hmm didnt think a socketed rune could change, that indeed would suck.

in 1.13 though - where slow would possibly turn into ITD, it sounds.
