What if they added a runecrafting system like d2? You know, put an indigo, and then an alabaster in a helm, and wallah, "Blah Blah Helm of Blah Blah." Then the effects could scale with the rank of runes that you socket them with O.O
Who said they can be socketed to weapons? It's not 1 rank (there's still 7 ranks of rune) but you're right it's like an un-identified rune then you bind it to any spell that you like then it will unlock whether it's crimson, indigo, etc. and will also have a prefix for the added randomness.
I don't recall if anyone said anything about socketing skill runes in items, just thought it would be an awesome idea
If I'm correct, I recall an interview with Jay Wilson on runestones, and how they effect skills. Somewhere in one of the interviews he said something to the extent that runes would initially be blank, and only have a rank. Once you socket the rune in a skill, it would then take on attributes of that skill.
I've been hearing from a few people that runes are going to be skill based only, and no longer socketable in items. Is this true?
I think it would be cool if you could give an item a skills effect from a rune that you socketed it into... lets say, the wizards arcane orb skill. On hit, 5% chance to cause an arcane explosion. Or perhaps from the Witch Doctors horrify, on hit fears enemy. Imagine the barb plowing through his enemies with whirlwind, having a bunch of arcane orbs proc along the way. That would add alot more customization to the game as well, having cross classed skills in your weapons. Or cross classed skills in your skills, if that makes sense...
Holy ****** smokes! Diablo 3 is coming, and my nerd rage bar is practically full! As a last ditch effort, I have resorted to purchasing D2 from the blizzard store! (Yet again >.> I'm pretty sure I have owned at least five to six copies of this game, in my lifetime ) I shall not return from the recesses of my cave until it's release! Muhahahaha!
On a side note... Does anyone know how Deckard fairs with the ladies? I may end up looking like him before all this hubbub has ended... Temporarily ended, that is.
