Been gone a while. Used to be you'd get damage type runes (Jagged Lightning, etc...) so that your weapons would do more damage to help force sips and hence build wounds. Is this still applicable in Lusternia with all of the updates to DMP and other methods of boosting damage of a particular type (tattoos, curios...)? Would it be more worthwhile to go for higher level stat bonus runes or increased wounding runes instead?

Here's the problem with warrior weapons:
If you want to put a wounding rune on a weapon, you have to temper it down to 463.
If you temper it down to 463, you're hindering yourself more than you're really getting a benefit from the weapon rune (especially if they are just 5% wounders), so you have to get the stat-runes as well to counteract some of the tempering.

Basically, the answer is: Either go for the good wounding runes, get smaller stat + wounding runes to plop on your weapon, or go without.

Damage runes can be useful on certain targets to help put a little more pressure on sipping, but warriors aren't exactly damage machines these days. It's helpful, sure, but again not at the expense of tempering down to 463 (so you'll still want a stat rune to help counterbalance that).

I've never had an artied warrior, but when I played a non-artied one, I was advised to buy the Wounding rune first (I stopped playing him before I bothered), and that it was by far and away the most important. The others, I was told, are luxury items that will help your comabt, but not really make-or-break you, except in the highest tiers.

The damage runes are more of a "every little bit counts" artifact. I'd recommend wounders and stats above it any day. It's not a huge difference outside of what you might deal on certain smaller targets.
