I was looking at the Diablo 3 skill calculator and noticed at the bottom its basing the effects off rank 4 runestones. Did I miss something? Before when the calculator first came out it clearly stated rank 7. Might just be an error but it still interests me.

Why?

i see, and the skills stats are supposed to be based off a level 60 character with all of them fully scaled?

^^^ Could be ...

Or, an alternative reason could be they will release levels 5,6,7 in the expansion.

there has been so much reworking on the runestones lately, that pretty much no one knows whats going on.

Hopefully the article bashiok was talking about will shed some light on the changes next week.

I thought there were 12 ranks, three of each dropping in every difficulty. But that was a long time ago, it's probably changed now.

Might be confusing rune tiers with armor tiers? I think originally there was speculation that there would be 12 tiers of armor, but is currently set at 18.

There's always been 7 Rune ranks and there still are, they've just changed the dificulty distribution (where they drop).

There are 7 total - they use 4 for the calculator because 4,5,6,7 are found in Inferno. And 5/6/7 are gonna be hard to get I think.

My bad. My idea of 12-rank runestones is actually 14-rank gems.
