Buyer answer
Zod is a specialist rune: choose it when the base item is already worthy of permanent protection or a top-end recipe.
Breath of the Dying is the weapon play; Obsession is the staff play. Those are the real recipe reasons to buy Zod.
A socketed Zod removes durability concerns, letting exceptional ethereal gear keep its boosted stats without breaking.
For BotD or Obsession, the base matters more than the rune name on the page: weak bases turn rare value into a mediocre item.
