Rank

Skill ranks were removed from the game during development. This article remains purely for historical reference.

Rank was the term used in Diablo III for a spell or skill's level, as of Blizzcon, in November 2008. The term was clearly meant to provide some respite from the habit of using "levels" to refer to so many different things in the game.
