[url]http://eu.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/runestones.xml[/url] [B]Whirlwind[/B] Whirlwind is an iconic Diablo II skill, wherein the barbarian spins furiously and damages any enemies in his path. Crimson - Shoots bits of rock and gravel in every direction, dealing area effect damage. Indigo - Barbarian spawns smaller whirlwinds which deal direct damage. Obsidian - Provides the barbarian with immunity to immobilizing effects. Golden - Reduced Fury cost. Alabaster - Critical strikes confuse enemies, forcing them to attack their allies for a short time. [B]Sweeping Wind[/B] Sweeping Wind is a combo skill that lashes out against all enemies surrounding the monk, creating a vortex of damaging wind that increases in damage and radius across three stages. Crimson - A flurry of blades increases Sweeping Wind's damage. Indigo - Expands the area of effect and strikes enemies with additional fire-based attacks. Obsidian - A persistent whirlwind surrounds the monk, dealing damage to any foes that come into contact. Golden - Increases Spirit regeneration. Alabaster - A powerful sandstorm billows with the monk's attacks, damaging enemies and knocking them back. [B]Ray of Frost[/B] Ray of Frost is a wizard spell that damages and freezes enemies caught in the beam, slowing their movement and attack speed. Crimson - Beam increases in damage the longer it remains in use, to a cap. Indigo - Wizard is surrounded by a swirling vortex of sleet, damaging any foes that come into contact. Obsidian - Decreases beam damage, but increases reduction in target movement and attack speed. Golden - Arcane Power cost reduced. Alabaster - Enemies slain by Ray of Frost have a chance to leave an area of ice on the ground where they die, damaging other enemies if they move through it. [B]Cluster Arrow[/B] Cluster Arrow is a powerful demon hunter tool, as it fires a cluster bomb which explodes on impact, releasing smaller bombs which explode shortly thereafter. Crimson - Increases the damage of the explosion at the point of impact. Indigo - Fires enemy-seeking missiles instead of grenades. Obsidian - The Cluster Arrow is launched high into the air and rains down grenades. Golden - Instead of grenades, the skill spawns shadow creatures that attack nearby enemies and leech life to the demon hunter. Alabaster - Adds a stun effect to the grenade explosions. [B]Acid Cloud[/B] Acid Cloud is a witch doctor skill that summons an acid-spewing spirit, raining caustic, skin-dissolving death on the unfortunate enemies below. Crimson - Causes immediate damage instead of a damage over time effect. Indigo - Increases area-of-effect radius. Obsidian - Spawns slimes that attack nearby enemies. Golden - Afflicts enemies with a disease effect that deals damage over time. Alabaster - The witch doctor belches forth a directional pool of acid.
I forgot about Diablo 3. Runestones seem interesting enough. Although I can't help but think of Runescape. :v:
Man. Spewing acid must take a toll on your esophagus. :v:
This is gonna be the best game ever.

Every time I get excited about this game... I take myself back almost 4 years ago when I got excited.. and a year later.. and a year later. Until this game has a solid release date, it's hard to care anymore...
