==Skill Rune Effects==
The following [[rune]] effects for Explosive Blast are known:
* Unknown rune: Turns the single blast into three consecutive blasts.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzcon-2010-hands-on-stuff.co.nz/ BlizzCon 2010 Hands-on: GamePlanet NZ] -- Incgamers 5th Nov 2010</ref>
* Unknown rune: The blast hits at the point of activation, making it work more like a trap. The explosion also seems to set off other nearby Blasts.<ref>(Seen in video [http[Video://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/new-footage-shows-many-new-rune-effects/ Gorgeous New Skill Blizzcon 2010 Rune Effects|here] -- Incgamers 31st Mar 2011</ref>].)
==Development==
'''Explosive Blast''' was first seen at [[BlizzCon 2009]] in the gameplay demo, where it was on the [[Conjuring Skill Tree]] at Tier III. Originally, the Wizard targeted a specific location, and after a short delay, the blast went off.
<blockquote>''It’s basically a short-range nova, on a time delay. You click it, and after 1.5 seconds (at level one) it blew up, dealing fairly substantial physical damage. The time delay made it unsuitable for emergency situations, but if you got used to the timing it was fun to click midway through a battle, knowing it would blast a moment later and finish off the enemy.</blockquote>
