In BlizzCon, Blizzard has revealed a new character class, Wizard, for the upcoming Diablo 3. While the release date probably at around 2nd quarter of next year, we have Wrath of the Lich King to look forward to next month.
Wizard AOEing!
You can check out the new Wizard trailer at the Blizzard website.
So far, Barbarian and Witch Doctor are the classes revealed for Diablo 3. Wizard makes the third and we are looking forward to more classes in the months to come.
In short, the wizard class is an iteration on the sorceresses from Diablo II, according to Cheng, who said that her specialty lies in channeling the powers of the universe to wreck destruction from afar. One of Blizzard’s primary challenges in creating this class, noted Cheng, was creating a class that was familiar to those who enjoy playing the role of “blaster cannon,” but also bringing some innovation to the ranged-damage class. Blizzard’s answer here was to invoke a caster class that was rooted in pen-and-paper-style wizards, one that draws power from the universe, as opposed to aligning with good or evil, summoning, or pure elementalism.
