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.

eww i hope there is NO teleport. teleport ruined d2 when they gave it to everyone who had enigma. its a bad skill it just allows people to totally skip areas altogether. i hope its not included.

everything else sounds really cool especially the lazer… like whoa u can click and hold it and just “Missle Turret” everything lol

The preview video and skill videos are pretty intriguing. I’m a bit surprised that the whole class’s background is wrapped around one individual’s though—yea each character is going to have their own personal storyline, but the Barbarian is of the Barbarian culture, the Witch Doctor has his own culture and there are potentially other witch doctors. Is the male Wizard’s story the exact same as the female’s? Oh well. The female wizard’s armor looks really really cool either way.
