The new
Skill Rune system of
Diablo 3 will be vastly different than the
Diablo 2 runes, as they will no longer be socketed into items, but instead infused into
skills directly, and have a much greater gameplay effect.
During
BlizzCon 2008, it was possibly to try out these
skill runes in action, but only with the newly announced
Wizard class. Players could add a rune to a Wizard spell and create new effects such as hitting more targets or causing damage in a greater area.
