 '''Blizzard''' was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the Wizard debuted, at that point a Tier IV skill in the [[Storm Skill Tree]]. It was a Tier V skill in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo, which made it too high-level for players to select it.

+Blizzard was again present in the [[BlizzCon 2010]] demo, but still too high-level to play. Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], allowing skills to unlock steadily from levels 1 to 30. Consequently, all skill levels were adjusted and Blizzard became a level 26 skill.
 ===Beta===
-Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Bizzard became a level 26 skill. When the skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, Blizzard was classified as an Arcane skill and moved to level 27. For March's [[Beta Patch 14]], Blizzard was somewhat [[nerf]]ed. Also, the category "Arcane" was renamed "Force".
