Wizard!!!

Posted 10th Oct 2008 05:09 PM by Elly

The new character has been revealed and, as somewhat expected, it’s a mage. A wizard, to be exact.  There are a bunch of screenshots and a new gameplay movie featuring the new character.  Updates to come very soon, we’re in the press room working away right now.

Here’s the press release blurb.

Blizzard Quote:
During the show, Blizzard Entertainment also unveiled the game’s third playable class: the wizard. A wielder of the elements and a master manipulator of time, the wizard can hurl environment-shattering lightning bolts, channel explosive arcane energies, and create pockets of space outside the normal temporal flow. BlizzCon attendees were able to adventure as either the wizard or the previously unveiled barbarian or witch doctor, battling alone or with up to three other players through the catacombs beneath Tristram Cathedral to a final showdown with the Skeleton King.

Manipulator of time too.

Hmm, does that mean Wizard will not have cold spells? Fire, Lightning, and Time Magic?

that’s good i guess…. so nice that it’s not just 3 elemental trees (guessing).... but what’s more important is that King Leoric is in the game! wootwootwiggabees!
Yes… I’m guessing not all elemental, books it matches more into the lore!

Wizard!!!! Very nice indeed…seeing that he will manipulate time it could very well mean he will be able to teleport, haste, slow, stop… shock

Looking forward to the gameplay vid!
