Plague runeword enabled in 1.10a?

[pharphis]

I've seen an image online of this thing, someone linked me to it while I was streaming the other night. Looking it up I found an old thread with RTB saying it's not enabled (but not specifying the patch)

Plague (Runes.txt ID 128, Runeword 106) 
3os Weapon 
Cham-Fal-Um 
+260-380% Enhanced Damage to Demons 
20% Chance to Cast Lvl 12 Lower Resist When Hit 
25% Chance to Cast Lvl 15 Poision Nova on Striking 
-23% Enemy Poison Resist 
3% Deadly Strike / Level 
Lvl 13-17 Cleansing Aura 
+1-2 All Skills

Can someone who can read the code check for me in the 1.10 versions? If you google search for iamges you'll find one with the runeword made in a berserker axe

Anyway, if it works we need to pressure RobbyD to make one with his 1.09 cham

This actually looks fairly legit for pvp ww assassin. Total of -80 ress, 25% OW that you get from Um rune... Yeah I'd like to know if this exists, even if chances of new discovery in d2 are kinda weak.

AFAIK, Plague has always been disabled in major versions. If it was ever legit, it was probably in a beta. But personally, I think it's more likely that whomever uploaded that pic used photoshop or a modded game.

It's one of two RWs (the other being Pattern) that appear finished in the game's files, except for the 'enabled' flag not being set. Which suggests that Blizzard had some compelling reasons to pull it at the last minute. But then again, it's Blizzard...

Also, good luck getting cham

RoddyD does have one found in 1.09 iirc tho

Wouldn't a WW Assassin not cast LR very often since WW doesn't cast things? I wouldn't depend on something like that.

 

[pharphis]

It casts LR when hit, not on striking

What about the other 1.10 versions?
My guess is nope

 

[NoisemakerArrow]

I know it's when hit, but most of the time when a WW Assassin is close to the enemy she will be WWing.

 

[onderduiker]

Wouldn't a WW Assassin not cast LR very often since WW doesn't cast things? I wouldn't depend on something like that.

Correct: no Chance to Cast of any kind (on Attack, on Striking, When Struck, When You Kill an Enemy, When You Die or When You Level-up) applies while using Whirlwind.
