What are the cool downs for swapping skill/runes?

Question

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?

They don't seem to be able - they are :-) – Hurda Jun 18 '12 at 17:51 — Hurda, Jun 18 '12 at 17:51

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.

Just to add, switching skills resets your Nephalem Valor buff to 0. diablowiki.net/Nephalem_Valor – theorise Jul 3 '12 at 7:23

There is a 5 second CD on Normal difficulty unless you are in a town (no CD at all).

On higher difficulties the cooldown will be even longer.
