−
'''''Note:''''' A long cooldown on this skill may prevent it from being a staple of a Wizard's arsenal, and more of a panic button when things get a little too close for comfort, since cold damage will slow or freeze enemies in their tracks.  This skill has been borrowed from the DII Sorceress, but with some added features, including an increased chance of critical strikes.  Storm Power and Lethal Energy will both add to this skill's lethality by adding to its critical strike chance and damage.

====Electrocute====
 
−
[[Image:Skill_wizard_electrocute.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Electrocute]]
 
−
''Lightning arcs from the wizard’s fingertips towards enemies, electrocuting them for 4-5 damage.  Electrocute affects up to 2 targets. Critical hits from lightning damage stun targets for 2 sec.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/1
 
−
*'''Mana cost:''' 8
 
  
−
'''''Note:''''' This skill is reminiscent of the Sorceress's Chain Lightning from Diablo II.  Most useful for taking down groups of closely packed enemies since the lightning will hop from one target to the next.  During one of the videos at Blizzcon 2008, it was shown that Electrocute can be enhanced with a Multi-Strike Rune, upping the amount of targets that the Electrocute's Chain Lightning effect will hit.  A Lethality Rune was also shown in conjunction with Electrocute, which caused some enemies to explode in an AoE electric Nova upon death.
+
==Passive Skills==
  
−
====Ray of Frost====
+
Passive skills replaced [[Traits]] during late game development in 2011. A few Traits were simply changed to passive skills, but most are all new. See the [[Wizard traits]] page for a full list of those passives.
−
[[Image:Skill_wizard_rayoffrost.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Ray of Frost]]
 
−
''Project a beam of cold energy that deals 6 cold damage per sec.  Critical hits from cold damage freeze targets. ''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/1
 
−
*'''Mana cost:''' 16 mana per sec.
 
  
−
'''''Note:''''' This skill is similar to the fire-based Disintegrate spell; however, it does not pass through targets or increase damage over time.  This spell seems useful for freezing and keeping enemies at bay, adding to the Wizard's arsenal of offensive spells that double as insurance against melee creatures.

−
===Tier IV Skills (15 points req.)===
 
−
====Tornado====
 
−
[[Image:Skill_wizard_tornado.jpg|right|thumb|150px|We're not in Kansas anymore...]]
 
−
''Summon a large tornado that damages everything in its path.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/1
 
−
*'''Mana cost:''' 15
 
  
−
'''''Note:''''' Akin to the Druid's Twister skill from Diablo II, however these tornadoes are formed from pure energy.  In the released 5-1/2 minute gameplay trailer of the Wizard, multiple tornadoes are cast one after another, each lasting for close to 5 seconds.  Their path seems to take random lefts and rights as it moves away from the casting point, stopping only when its timer has expired.  Expect some interesting Rune uses with this spell, as by itself, it seems a little too sporadic and short-lived to be of much useful combative use.
+
==Development==
 +
* See the [[Wizard skill archive]] for a full listing of skill changes over time.
  
−
As in DII with the Druid, the best use of the tornadoes will likely be multiple, concentrated casts in a small area packed with enemies, to ensure the most damage in the shortest period of time.  Higher levels of the skill may increase their size or may simply increase raw damage.  Epic Storm will increase the number of simultaneous tornadoes you can cast, and Lethal Energy will increase the chance to score critical strikes.
 
  
−
====Blizzard====
+
===July 2011 Press Event===
−
''Call down shards of ice to pelt an area dealing 6-10 cold damage per sec for 3 sec. Critical hits from cold damage freezes targets.''
+
The following skills were removed or renamed prior to the July 2011 Press Event:  
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/1
 
−
*'''Mana cost:''' 70

* [[Charged Bolt]] - Renamed to [[Shock Pulse]]
−
''Increase damage of all lightning and ice spells.''
+
* [[Energy Shield]] - Renamed to [[Energy Armor]]
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/15

==Arcane Tree==
 
−
===Tier I===
 
−
====Magic Missile====
 
−
[[Image:Skill_wizard_magicmissilecorpses.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Corpses left from Magic Missile]]
 
−
''Fire 1 missile(s) of energy at your enemies causing 7-13 arcane damage to them. Critical hits from arcane damage silence targets for 4 secs.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/1
 
−
*'''Mana cost:''' 8
 
  
−
'''''Note:''''' In early levels, Magic Missile might be the Wizard's bread and butter.  In later levels, it might prove invaluable as a cheap and direct means of silencing a monster for 4 seconds -- plenty of time to dispatch of them before they can cast a nasty spell on you, or raise the fallen to fight again. 
 
  
−
Magic Missile's effectiveness is increased by a variety of spells, the most noteworthy of which is Improved Magic Missile, which increases both the damage and number of missiles released on a cast.  The range and spread of higher levels of Magic Missile is reminiscent of the DII Necromancer's Teeth.  When an enemy dies at the hands of an Arcane spell, a purple glow is left on the corpses.

−
====Arcane Power====
 
−
''Increases all arcane damage dealt by 24%.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/15
 
−
*'''Next Rank:''' Increase Arcane damage dealt by 36%
 
−
 
 
−
====Efficient Magics====
 
−
''Lowers the mana cost of spells by 6%.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/15
 
−
*'''Next Rank:''' lower mana cost by by 9%
 
−
 
 
−
====Penetrating Spells====
 
−
''Reduces the resistance of your targets to your spells by 8%.  Targets with negative resitance take additional damage from spells.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/15
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Tier II (5 points requirement)===
 
−
 
 
−
====Disintegrate====
 
−
[[Image:Skill_wizard_disintegrate.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Molten Trickery]]
 
−
''Eminate a beam of pure energy dealing 10 arcane damage per second.  Damage is modified by 80% each time the beam passes through the target. Critical hits from arcane damage silence targets for 4 secs.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/1
 
−
*'''Mana cosst:''' 12 per sec.
 
−
 
 
−
'''''Note:''''' A laser beam of molten pwnage, Disintegrate would be at its full effect when taking down line formations of enemies.  It'll cut through targets without mercy; however, each target will decrease the rest of the beam's damage by 80%, allowing the beam to reach through a total of five creatures before its damage is fully mitigated.
 
−
 
 
−
Damage ticks every second of use, and critical strikes (as with any Arcane Spell) will silence the target for 4 seconds.  In the screenshot to the left, you can see an example of Disintegrate being used to take down the structural bearings of a wall, crushing the unfortunate skeletons in its path.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
====Wave of Force====
 
−
[[Image:Skill_wizard_waveofforce.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Wave of Force]]
 
−
''Project a wave of force outwards, repelling enemies and projectiles and dealing 1-8 damage.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/1
 
−
*'''Mana cost:''' 25
 
−
 
 
−
'''''Note:''''' Wave of Force is seen two times in the Wizard Trailer released at the same time as Blizzcon 2008.  The first is used in a room of skeletons -- it does little damage to the skeletons, but blasts all the destructibles in the room to glorious pieces.  In the second example, the Wizard uses it while slowing down time, waiting for a group of skeletons' projectiles to come close, and then reflecting them back toward them.
 
−
 
 
−
It's hard to know how many scenarios in a fast-paced game like this where you could really benefit from using Slow Time and then Wave of Force to repel projectiles -- Out of the 8 projectiles in the above screenshot, only one or two actually came back to strike their targets.  It will be interesting to see what practical uses there are for this spell as more gameplay videos unfold.
 
−
 
 
−
====Arcane Armor====
 
−
''While your Storm Armor, Stone Armor, Stone Skin or Temporal Armor spells are active, your armor is increased by 20%.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/15
 
−
 
 
−
====Arcane Weakness====
 
−
''Enemies damaged by your arcane spells are affected with arcane weakness, increasing damage taken by 10% for 5 sec.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/15
 
−
 
 
−
====Arcane Speed====
 
−
''Reduces the cooldown of all arcane spells by 5%.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/15
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Tier III (10 points requirement)===
 
−
 
 
−
====Arcane Orb====
 
−
A glowing orb of energy travels about 10 yards, before bursting in a nova of destruction. The spell looks something like the D2 Sorc's Frozen Orb, but without the spray of ice spears as it flies across the room. The spell only allowed one point in the BlizzCon demo, but the final game will surely allow more than 1 level (rank) to be added to it.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Description:''' "An orb of pure energy explodes on contact dealing 12-16 arcane damage to all enemies in the blast area. Critical hits from arcane damage silence targets for 4 sec."
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 1/1
 
−
*'''Mana cost:''' 18.
 
−
[[Image:Skill_wizard_arcaneorbsequence.jpg|frame|center|Sequence of Arcane Orb, cast from within the protective bubble created by a Slow Time spell.]]
 
−
 
 
−
====Slow Time====
 
−
[[Image:Skill_wizard_slowtime.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Slow Time]]
 
−
* '''Description:''' Warp space and time, slowing nearby monsters and projectiles. Enemy attack cooldown increase: 1 sec.
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/1
 
−
*'''Mana cost:''' 20
 
−
 
 
−
Slow time creates a bubble that surrounds the Wizard. Any enemies or enemy projectiles that enter the bubble are greatly slowed. The wizard, her spell projectiles, and her allies are not affected by the slow time bubble, giving them a huge advantage over the greatly slowed enemies.
 
−
 
 
−
The bubble remains where it was cast, persisting for several seconds, but the Wizard can move as soon as the spell is cast, though if she moves outside the bubble monster may again target her without their shots or attacks being slowed.
 
−
 
 
−
It's assumed that some boss monsters (and their projectiles?) will be immune to the slowing effect, but this is not yet known, and is subject to further balancing anyway.
 
−
 
 
−
====Arcane Distortion====
 
−
''Enemies damaged by your arcane spells are slowed by 35% for 3 sec.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/15
 
−
 
 
−
====Mana Recovery====
 
−
''Enemies have a 7% chance to drop a mana globe that return 25% of maximum mana when picked up.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/15
 
−
 
 
−
====Improved Magic Missile====
 
−
''Increases the number of missiles launched by your magic missile spell by 1 and increases their damage by 8%.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/15
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Tier IV (15 points requirement)===
 
−
====Temporal Armor====
 
−
''Surrounds the wizard in a protective shell that stops all damage from an attack every 6 sec.  The shell dissipates after absorbing 12 attacks.''

−
 
 
−
====Teleport====
 
−
''Teleport to the selected location up to 40 feet away.''
 
−

−

−
 
 
−
====Greater Mana====
 
−
''Increases maximum mana by 12%.''
 
−
*'''Rank:''' 0/15
 
−
 
 
−
====Mana Burst====
 
−
''Increases the damage of any spellcast from full mana by 25%.''
 
−
