The future of runes / utility runes

Since the beginning of the game I’ve made many suggestions about runes and maybe having them tied to stats for more character identities. But I’m putting the brakes on those ideas since they are going to be introducing a class system. And also maybe these suggestions about utility runes will change after the class system also.

I like what they did with utility runes can’t wait to see more options also! I have a few cool ideas let me know what you think about them!

  1. First I’d like to suggest that Eleanor have the ability when you destroy a rune to give you resources to then use to increase the tier of the rune and also to create runes.

  2. Blueprints for runes. I like the idea and it seems like they are utilizing it more now. the vendors sell blue prints instead of just selling items all the time. And maybe there could be rare or legendary runes to find or create. Especially when you upgrade vendors maybe more blue prints for things to build.

  3. Passive utility runes. I think it could be a cool trade off instead of having an active utility there could be passives varying from base stats, equipload, strength, health etc. to legendary ones or corrupted ones. Say one that gives you 20% more Dmg but you take 20% more. Legendary ones like charge attacks with melee create a fire fissure in the ground. Charge attacks with projectiles fire an extra projectile. And there will be off hands like the pipe where you can still equip active utility runes for more build variants.

  4. auras like in Diablo 2. Activate them and they slowly drain focus but give you and your party buffs! Or de buff enemies

5.I also still think it would be a good idea for higher tier spells to have stat requirements. Example tier 2 heal requires faith. Obviously have to wait for class system to see what they do there but I think they’ll still have stats after that is released.

And this is definitely not for current patch it would have to be for down the line when they increase level cap finally I think they should add in tiers for runes to make them stronger!
