Bug Runeshard

So, as of recently, I mastered the runewraith in order to test out the tier 2 skill myself.

Although I've had some extremely entertaining wins with the skill Runeshard in arena, I want to report a massive balance breaking bug with the skill.

If a player uses Runeshard in arena on another player, it will drain about 600 of their HP away, without stopping in between for anything. Something about Runeshard is completely broken for arena, which causes it to basically one shot players. As much fun as I've had with it, I want to make sure that each class is balanced. Also, on it's own, Runeshard isn't a good ultimate skill. Maybe runeblade should get a new rune instead of a magical envenom

Created via mobile, errors are abound

Looks like that bug never got fixed @Kainzo

@iAlchemist thanks for the report, it's an issue with toxicrune chained with runeshard. A couple of us on balance team are working on a more impressive and non-broken skill.

It's not just toxic rune. I have managed to do it with void rune just as easily. I think it's something in the skill, not toxic rune combo.

And it's nice to know about the new skill. For now, I'll just have to refrain from using Runeshard unless I really want to have an entertaining reaction.

K, we need to know why this kind of effect is happening... we may need to trigger some debugging logs to see the hp before/after use and the effects on the player.

I'd be glad to help out in any way I can. If you want me to test it on someone in arena
