arcane torrent ka-kaPOW-kaBLAM-kaBOOM!
Login to rate
is it going to be similar to Diablo 2 in that if u max out skills that branch off the higher skills, it will actually increase the potential of that higher skill? ie. maxing out the first fire skill in diablo 2 made the final fire skill much stronger.
Login to rate
@OCTANE: or is it only the runes that will increase the potential?
Login to rate
@OCTANE: Weapon damage and usually there's 1 rune per skill that flat out increases the dmg/radius, others modify the skill substantially or add secondary effects.

Very versatile class... can be easily tweaked for PVE or PVP... kind of sucks you can't have teleport AND slow time running at the same time... unless I'm mistaken.
Login to rate
@Tempestess: you can if you choose elective mode
Login to rate
looks like a good class if you can master the art of using the spells to stay out of danger and keep enemies close together so your AoE and rays work well.

omg enough already im ready to play

I'm probably understanding this wrong, but to me it looks like Ray of Frost (lvl2) does the same thing as Desintegrate (lvl30) but for far more damage. Unless you're going against an enemy that is resistant to cold, I don't see why take runeless Desintegrate over Ray of Frost ever.
Login to rate
@Galbrei: Ray of frost damages the first enemy it hits, disintegrate continues through as many enemies as the spells length allows. Disintegrate doesn't slow the enemies either. The videos makes these qualities pretty self evident.

Actually are the abilities optimized? Some of them look pretty useless... and as it is, Wizard dmg output is pretty far below Barbarian and Monk...
