they only work at half % of what you have listed. so an eth rune will remove 12.5% of an enemy's defense

They don't remove base % defense like everyone thinks it removes total % defense

which means it cuts from added bonuses like iron skin/shout/holy shield/etc not from the defense itself.

Exactly. So, if my zealot has 1k defense and +250% def from Holy Shield, your 2 eth runes will lower it to 1k defense and +225% def from Holy Shield. It's not that they don't work - they are just not exactly useful. As a kicker, you're much better served in pumping up Attack Rating or getting some Open Wounds/Crushing Blow into your weapons.

Final defense.

That's what makes a 4eth/2shael naga a great bvb weapon.

Are you sure on that? Oramin and I tested the eth rune effect in PvP rather stringently a couple of years ago...

ill confirm as well.

this means 6 eth-pick kicker will have a better chance on the 20k defence paladin then just straight up with her 15k ar
