Blizzard reveal Diablo III third class

ImageBlizzard CEO Mike Morhaime revealed during the BlizzCon 2008 opening ceremony that the Wizard would be the third playable class in Blizzard's latest dungeon crawler epic, Diablo III.



The Wizard is a somewhat buxom female character who uses elemental spells to make her way through the undead packed dungeons.

Screen shots and game-play footage of the Wizard electrocuting, flame-grilling and deep-freezing her way through waves of the undead is available below.

Kotaku.com has posted some of the powers the Wizard will have, picked up from a design panel at BlizzCon.

"Magic Missiles: Was an important skill choice. Fireballs, ice bolts would have set her up to be an elementailist. The higher the level the more missiles.

Electrocute: Part of the Wizard's weather control discipline. Controlling weather feels epic.

Slow Time: Part of the reality control kit for the wizard. RPG games don't generally manipulate time. It's a slow time bubble, for multiplayer use.

Disintegrate: The real face melter. Nothing like it has been in a Diablo game before, but it feels very Diablo. Hold down the mouse and a beam shoots out. So awesome. IT originally started as a charged swing for the Barbarian class that you'd have to hold down the mouse to charge and the release when finally charged. Teammates would kill the monsters, leaving you alone, and you'd still be waiting for the power to go off. Now you hold down the beam and it comes grows in power as a monster is hit."
