Rune spells not absorbing spell damage.
Example: I cast rune III or IV. I engage a caster mob, it nukes me for 350 damage. The 350 damage is coming off my hit points and the rune is still on me, untouched. It seems like the only thing runes are absorbing is melee damage. I know for a fact it wasn't like this on live.

I thought the rune spells were melee damage only.

They're not supposed to be melee damage only, is the point. In fact, the entire rune/skin line (nec, mage, wiz, enc) always absorbed direct spell damage on live.

Also, I guess I should have searched, but this has been reported previously:
http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2900 Working as intended I suppose. I remember specifically using rune on raids on live to block DD spells, etc. | ||

The spellshield line of spells does. Perhaps that is what you are remembering? | |||

No, spellshield line of spells didn't even exist until LDoN. Also, even if a server presently goes up to a certain expansion, there were many changes to spells and abilities over the years that were never part of the original expansion they originated from.
I also seem to recall that Runes absorbed spell damage along time ago, I was somewhat surprised when I was being nuked in Uguk and losing health with my Rune still on (when I just started on P99.)

I have a character on Al'kabor, but he isn't an enc or class with the skin line so I can't really test this easily there. | |||

I quote Al'Kabor only because we have not received an update since the release of PoP. In fact, we even have many encounters in the EPs that are beta. Since there was very little support, there were virtually no updates.
