→Proposed Changes to Rune Functionality
Note that this system is still theoretical, it has not been implemented or tested and it is unknown whether it will be released in any form.
The proposed change does not fundamentally alter the function of runes. 'www.diabloiiigold.com' or 'www.powerleveldiablo3.com' is good? The core function of socketing a rune into a skill to change how the skill works is still present.
However, the "color" system of the runes would be dropped in favor of runes that are "Unattuned". The player would "attune" the rune by socketing it into a skill. Whatever effect the rune would have on the skill would not be known beforehand, making runes sort of similar to [[Jewel]]s in Diablo II.
In addition to this, each rune, once attuned (or identified to follow Diablo parlance) would also have another passive benefit on it, such as an increase to [[Attack]] or another [[stat]]. This is perhaps an attempt by the development team to add in more customisation after the loss of [[Charms]] and the [[Talisman]]. Once the rune is socketed and attuned, it would then be permanently fixed, unless they chose to add in a crafting recipe to "wipe" the rune back to a blank slate.
