The Wizard in Diablo III is very different from the Sorceress from D2, this one is a bit cruel and selfish it seems.. even dark.

The Wizard has the potential to rule this game but the issue of balance still remains. We cannot tell just how powerful the wzzard skills and spells are compared to the other characters (Barbarian and Witch Doctor) We all like the eye candy but we want the spells to be powerful.

Here are the current skills of the D3 Wizzard:

• Disintegrate
• Electrocute
• Teleport
• Magic Missile
• Slow Time

I have to say i am a bit impressed with the Slow Time ability, i wasn’t expecting such a skill, also the Disintegrate ability looks great but the Electrocute skill doesn’t look too powerful in my opinion. Blizzard has put a lot of work in the third DiabloIII character and we have to be grateful

From the gameplay trailers the Wizard looks and feels very powerful and the thing i love the most about this character is that it grants the player the power to be creative. I can already see dozens of combinations with the Wizard while playing Diablo 3

The Gameplay videos are simply amazing the Wizard indeed can really do some damage

(Like i said i want to see something to compare this character with the other 2)

Good job Blizzard, Diablo III is shaping up to be a great game !

From the journal of Abd al-Hazir:

Owing to my lack of tolerance for those who would use magic towards their own nefarious ends, many have assumed that I am averse to the practice of the magical arts on a philosophical level. Nothing could be farther from the truth. My quarrel is with those sorcerers who dismiss the ancient traditions and teachings – teachings that have been honed over millennia in order to preserve respect for authority and the rule of law.

BlizzCon is almost here, Friday and Saturday will be on fire. We are all waiting for the new DIII character Class and other great news from Blizzard.

I wonder if we will see some new areas in the game, maybe a new battle video and why not a glimpse of Diablo 3 Act2. I know i know we are all hoping for a miracle.. but we are hungry for diablo stuff.

Anyway, back to BlizzCon, i am very excited. Diacriticals dot com will bring you all hot news straight from “Blizzard’s mouth”

It would be nice for Blizzard to introduce the option to download Diablo III
A system where you pay for the game and you can instantly have it via download link. I know that the game will be huge (Remember how big D2 was) but the diablo fans have patience.

I personally don’t like to buy games like this, if i’m going to pay for DiabloIII i want the sweet box that comes with it. Maybe a Battle Chest so i can be the proud owner of the entire series.

Indeed the option to Download Diablo 3 sounds ok, but how many fans would use it ?

I don’t care if Blizzard sets this up, i will buy the original game in the original box.

Today, 2 Oct 2008, Blizzard has blessed us with another D3 creature, and i have to say it looks great

The Scavenger is a small burrowing creature, extremely aggressive.  They attack with fast springing blows in the most vulnerable places on the body.
I’m always glad to see a new beast in my favorite game, more meat to slaughter with my D3 barb

The Diablo 3 Bestiary has a new asset
