Additionally there are also some bug fixes with certain runes:

Fixed an issue where swapping weapons would end the rune's teleport buff.

Fixed an issue where the + combo would sometimes break if the target died right before the Spirit Wolf tries to do its ice explosion.

Fixed an issue where some of the text on the rune was displaying in the incorrect font style.

Comment by CloudLovelesI'm personally not seeing anything that helps here. I don't believe Rune Words (As they are working) are good. In fact, I loath to call this system "Rune Words" as the old Runes were great. These still feel like crap and I don't use them.Comment by dopaminexI'm personally not seeing anything that helps here.
