Problem with Tir rune

From what I understand, I should get 2 mana after each kill with this rune inserted to any item type (weapon, armor etc…)
I inserted 3 of those into a shield - so I expected to get 6 mana after each kill - - I don’t get any.
Is there a bug?
I’m playing assassin class.

It’s because your traps are killing most likely and the traps don’t count as your character killing

As above you have to hit the enemy with the weapon that has them inserted and has to have the final killing blow!

Yeah it works with a weapon. It just doesn’t make sense.
I placed the runes in a shield - so I didn’t think it matters with what I actually kill monsters.

it doesn’t matter what YOU kill them with but traps aren’t YOU.
So when a trap kills a monster, you get xp and drops from it but it doesn’t get your gear bonuses like mpk.

Doesnt matter, its not good design wise. Tir-Runes also should give you mana back killing with your traps.

In d2 Lod, tir rune was working for assa trap.

It’s just an old game with many deprecated not-functioning mechanics. Would be nice the development team to fix all these kind of issues and misfunctions, but that won’t happen most likely
