Any other D3 followers would have seen their latest release of the rune system.
Its exactly like the wiki was saying up until now, but it comes with videos and descriptions of how the different runes affect different skills.
While all very cool, I did get the feeling like you'll NEED runes. And that your damage will suffer without them. Blizzard is very good at putting steps into their games (gear, abilities, upgrade, etc), and then making the play experience hard for anyone not at the top of that ladder.
This game has been in production for 3-4 years now, and we have seen diddly. The amount of footage that actually shows some of the UI is almost zero. I just hope they announce a release date at Blizcon this year. If GW2 overtakes D3 I'm gonna be very disappointed (simply using GW2 as a reference point, and not wanting D3 to turn into Duke Nuken Forever).
