Hi
i was just watching BlizzCon2011 -diablo 3- Open Q&A Panel and this guy asked really good question about the rune storage issue at 19:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OnYQ9UCSP8

i right away thought of some sort of solution, at least this is an idea i will throw
for each skill we could have a panel for rune choices, and we could actually store those runes in the panel- insuring we won't have to store it in our inventory.

i just threw this idea into paint and here is what i got... this is just a first attempt at this so give it some thought and see if u can improve it

So the idea is that each skill has its panel of rune storage and you can collect runes there. it would save alot of inventory space specially when switching runes for different types of runs (u will still need to be at Nephalem Altar)

the other idea is that u need a leaser rank of the rune equipped in order to progress to higher rank. Lets say u found Rank 7 Alabaster Runestone, to equip it u must have Rank 1-6 already in your rune panel.

after switching your skill, the panel switches to ur skill set, i.e. Blinding Flash will have its own panel with runes which u set into it.
u can also freely remove runes, but the rune will permanently adjust to its skill set as it suppose to.

the only problem would be selling such many runes in auction house... cuz for each skill u would have 35 different possibilities of rune modifiers...

well...this is just first thing came to my mind after watching Q&A, give it some thought and throw in ur own ideas... we'll see how it goes

***************************
OFFENSE
DI - Damage Increase [%]
APS- Attacks Per Second [hits/second]
CHC- Critical Hit Chance [%]
CHD- Critical Hit Damage [%]

BADPS- Basic Attack Damage Per Second
D - Damage [d1~d2]
DPS- Damage Per Second
CB- Critical Bonus
DB- Damage Bonus
***************************

keep only 2 decimal palces after each calculation (varies)
for single wielding:
D = [d1+d2]/2
DPS = D•APS
DB = DI/100+1
CB = [CHC/100]•[CHD/100]+1

BADPS = [DPS]•[DB]•(CB)
------------------------
for dual wielding (* for second weapon):
Dw1 =[d1+d2]/2 (weapon 1)
Dw2 =[d1*+d2*]/2 (weapon 2)
D* =(Dw1+Dw2)/2 (average damage of both weapons combined)
APS*=(APSw1+APSw2)•1.15/2 (average attack speed of both weapons increased by 15%)
DPS*=D*•APS*

BADPS* = [DPS]*•[DB]•(CB)

***************************
example used:

DI = 32%
CHC = 7.11%
CHD = 100%

Weapon 1 (axe): | Weapon 2 (sword):
APs = 1.3 | APs = 1.4
D(w1) = 11~12 | D(w1) = 10~11

BADPS = [D•APS]•[DI/100+1]•([CHC/100]•[CHD/100]+1) <<<<<<<<<<<
BADPS = [([d1+d2]/2)•APS]•[DI/100+1]•([CHC/100]•[CHD/100]+1)
BADPS = [([11+12]/2)•1.3]•[32/100+1]•([7.11/100]•[100/100]+1)
BADPS = [([11+12]/2)•1.3]•[32/100+1]•([7.11/100]•[100/100]+1)
BADPS = [14.95]•[1.32]•(1.0711) = 21.137 or 21.37

BADPS* = [DPS]*•[DB]•(CB)
BADPS* = [D*•APS*]•[DB]•(CB)
BADPS* = [(Dw1+Dw2)/2*•[(APSw1+APSw2)•1.15/2]*]*•[DB]•(CB) <<<<<<<
BADPS* = [(11.5+10.5)/2*•[(1.3+1.4)•1.15/2]*]*•[1.32]•(1.0711)
BADPS* = [[11•1.55]*•[1.32]]•(1.0711) = 22.50•1.0711 = 24.09

note1: if ur offhand is not a weapon(i.e. its a wizard or WD offhand) any bonus damageadd to weapon damage and calculate the average
note2: spells/skills get attack bonus only from raw damage (attack speed doesnt effect this,unless it specifies)
so use APS=1 to calculate how much dmg ur spell/skill will do

Blizzard had nothing to do with DotA. They have full rights to that title only because Blizzard owns all maps for their game.

Yes, but their maps, their engine, their game is what caused DOTA to exist in the first place. The genre wasn't their brain-child, but neither was RTS, ARPG, or MMORPG. I think you can see where i'm going with this. They laid the foundation to the game, so they're intimately familiar with the requisite platform. All they have to do is what they're good at: picking up a good, but unpolished genre from the pleb companies and turning it into a solid gold title worth the blizzard logo.
