Hydra or Grand Matron for Silence/BOTD?

How are you guys finding these massive runes? The highest rune i've ever
found is Um. I've had 3 of them drop from last season. 2 from Hellforges and
1 from a chest in countess NM level 3.

The OP stated that they were playing SP and hinted that they duped 'em
using ATMA. (or they may have just cubed 'em up, when you have been
playing a long time SP you are likely to have 17 or more characters that
are up into hell, and all have some medium runes, well, when you add them
all together they make quite a nice treasure)

Grand Matron Bow can only get 5 sockets, so best would be Hydra bow or
Crusader Bow
both have same base speed and same avg dmg... Crusader needs less str and
dex to use

The two vexes I moved from ladder to non-ladder came from three guls that
dropped from hell hellforge plus a gul that I cubed up from all my other
hellforge drops. If you play ladder or single player you can cube up runes,
and if you cheat in SP you can copy runes over and over and cube up the
copies.

The best non hellforge rune I have found was a mal from a chest in hell pit
lvl 2. I have never seen a late hell monster drop any of the runes above gul
even if they are able to.
