Prudence: Armor Rune Word - Diablo 2

Prudence Rune Word is one of the better mid level Rune Words in the game half because of the defensive boosts that it gives and half because it is a perfect Rune Word for Ebugged Armor. Since Prudence comes with the "Repairs 1 Durability In 4 Seconds" bonus you're able to put it into Ethereal Armor and won't have to worry about it breaking.

Keep in mind that all Rune Words you create will retain any pre-existing bonuses found on the item. If you find a 'Superior' piece of armor with +Enhanced Defense, a Superior Weapon with +Enhanced Damage or a Helm/Weapon that has +Skill bonuses for a certain class, all of these will remain on the final Rune Word that is created.
