Blizzard has revealed information on runestones for Diablo III, a concept which allows players to customise the effects and appearance of their skills.
According to the company, there are five different runestones: Crimson, Indigo, Obsidian, Golden and Alabaster. Each of these stones will modify the skill it’s attached to in a completely unique way. As explained by Blizzard, Crimson will increase damage while Alabaster adds a stun effect.
Furthermore, each effect will vary from skill to skill. For example, the Crimson runestone will change the damage of Acid Cloud from a sustained damage to an immediate damage, but adds an area of effect damage to Whirlwind.
Because Diablo III boasts over 100 skills, the addition of runestones mean that there’s over 500 possible combinations for spells. And because the runestones are available in different ranks, with different strength levels, the results could differ even more.
According to the Blizzard site, players will need to discover which runestone and skill best suit their needs.
