I believe it is still cut to 1/2 pvp effectiveness. So each eth rune takes def down -12.5%.

Attack rating from a weapon does not transfer to your kicks AR.
it is possible the eth will do nothing for dragon talon, since the weapon is not being used.
the faqs clearly state ITD does transfer, but as for -25% target def,, Jrichard says it most likely does not. i would tend to agree.
and yes it would still be at 1/2 effectivness wich is quite lowsy. also remeber this might be off Base def,, (just like cloak of shadows)
if that is true it means a barb with 400 def gets -12.5% off from just the 400.. not the 400 after thier shout and iron skin bonus..
lets say barb has 400 def and +300% def from skills
wich means its only 12.5% of 400 reomved wich is 50 def
so the barb would have:
400 * 300% from skill = 1600
1600 - 50 = 1550
wich would be utterly useless really.

see now i woulda used the term "fixed" since it was a bug... and not "nerfed" bc it was not feature.
also what leads u to beileve it "doesnt work pvp" ? your own test?
i can assure you the eth rune work at 1/2 effectivness pvp just like it does against uniques, bosses, and champions.
and it LIKELY works off base like cloak of shadows. wich would mean it does indeed suck.

well if it does work in pvp would it keep taking off 25% of def (or 12.5% pvp) every time u kick so it takes 12.5% off 1000 defense then 12.5% off the new defense and etc..every time u hit? or is it once and done?

the eth rune is simply -% target def,,, not per strike like some other mods.
6 eth runes would lower players def by 75%,
again if this is base only, its not as great as it could be on character known for their huge def adding skill... but 75% is still a hell of alot of def lowering.
unless used on nuisance characters scoring huge defence ratings without the help of any +%def adding skills, the sacrafice for a 6 eth weapon likely might not be worth it.

How did you confirm it? And, if so, does it work this way for kick only?
