Even MORE Runes!

1.52.2 Update


I'm super excited about this update because I believe it will make lesser known / less popular builds and strategies MUCH more viable! For example, the Curse/Stall build will be a viable option even in single player due to the new Decoys. And there's much more like that but I'll leave it to you to figure out how to leverage these runes.

Shoutout to @scobjo for making an incredibly well composed document pointing out some of the gaps in balance, may changes from that document made it into this update.
