No ENIGMA for D3

In DiabloWiki.com - Diablo II Diablo II, characters are able to gain skills of other characters with the use of certain items and rune words. Most common of these is the ever popular DiabloWiki.com - Enigma Rune Word Enigma Rune Word which gave any character the ability to teleport. Sought after by many, the teleport skills quickly became available to any character instead of just the DiabloWiki.com - Sorceress Sorceress. While we know that Rune Words will not be in Diablo III, many still wondered if there would be a way through items, skill allocation, or some other way that characters would be able to get some skills of other characters. Bashiok has answered this concern.

Official Blizzard Quote:



As it relates to Diablo III, I wouldn't say "never", but providing a way to gain access to other class abilities is not something we're looking to or planning on implementing in the foreseeable future. I think if at some point years after the game is released we need some way to spice things up, honestly it's one fairly easy way to do it. I also think we have enough knowledge and know how and experience to be able to intelligently control such things. But I would also hope that those smarts could maybe help us find better ways to keep things interesting.
As of now, characters will not be able to gain another character's skill in anyway. Pushing for each characters uniqueness, only the Wizard will get to slow time, the Witch Doctor his zombies, the Barbarian his Whirl Wind, and the Monk will keep his Seven Sided Strike. However, that is not to say further down the road they add something to the game to change all of this like Diablo II. Only time will tell.
