Rune question

[Toccs]

Right maybe some of you can clear this up for me.

Does a rune add to the skill or does it simply change it.

Example:

Skill: Revenge, Inflict 220% weapon damage to all nearby enemies. You Heal 5.0% of your maximum life for each enemy hit.

Rune: Vengeance Is Mine, Gain 5 Fury and heal 8.0% of your maximum life for each enmy hit.

So is the max life now 13% or is it 8%? does it replace it or add to it?

Cheers in advance.

It replaces. Your heal is now 8%. That's what makes runes pretty neat: you can change them for each fight to adjust how your abilities work.

Do you know if changing it will effect the 5 stack magic find buff you get at 60?

Changing a rune is the same as changing a skill. It removes Nephalem Valor. If you somehow remove your skill from your action bar, and later add it again (even if theres no skill replacing it) you also loose your buff. This happened to me, and it's fairly annoying

Some runes add to it - I.e. you also generate 3 spirit per second while this is active.
Some runes adjust it - I.e. you now do 150% weapon damage, up from 120%.
Some runes change it - This is now a frontal cone attack instead of an AoE.

Yes, it'll remove NV if you change a rune.

might as well ask this here...

what is better for wizzard

Things that increase damage to attacks (Familiar with Sparkflint - 12% increase to all attacks)
Things that increase weapon damage (some skills are based of weapon damage) like Magic weapon with a rune to give 15% increase


:Note: familiar has a small weapon based attack but they are mutually exclusive with the magic
