Diablo – What are the cool downs for swapping skill/runes

diablo-3

D3 lacks the skill tree of D2, a character seems to be able to unlock all skills available to their class.

Is the cool down for swapping the skills/runes consistent across all classes and how long is this cool down?

Best Answer

According to the combat skills section of Blizzard's online game guide, the cooldowns for swapping skills are:

  • Normal: 5 seconds
  • Nightmare: 10 seconds
  • Hell: 15 seconds
  • Inferno: 2 minutes

These cooldowns only apply if you switch skills outside of town. You may freely switch skills in town with no cooldown.
