Changes

The most recent look at a rune came in a screenshot released on March 30, 2009. This is a minor hydra rune, with "minor" being a modification of "[[Hydra Rune]]." All that's known about this one can be seen in the caption, that it "Increases skill quantity." It was previously revealed that the hydra rune was previously known as the "multistrike" rune, and the function appears to be the same, with a bit more evocative a name. Hydras, besides being a [[Sorceress ]] skill in [[Diablo II]], are the multi-headed dragons of Greek mythology, creatures capable of regrowing two heads in the place of each head that was chopped off.  Hydra runes are known to add bounces to a Witch Doctor's thrown [[Skull of Flame]] spell and to increase the Chain of the Wizard's [[Electrocute]] spell. Since each rune is (as best we know) going to work with every active skill, the hydra rune would presumably add extra hits to all sorts of other skills.
