subject: The Famine Runeword in Diablo 2 is Among The Most Diverse Weapons [print this page] The consensus on the Famine Runeword is that while its stats are decent and it provides a viable weapon switch for those times when you come across a Physical Immune, the Runes required for its creation are too expensive to justify the cost (they can be better used elsewhere). Also, experienced Diablo 2 players prefer other options for dealing with Physical Immunes, and there are two that are considered more affordable and efficient: Gimmershred (a unique stack of axes that can be thrown) and Azurewrath (a unique Phaseblade), both are viable options on Hell Difficulty.
