Spotlight Video: Wizard.
April 30, 2012 in News! by Motorskull
Last, but by no means least of the class spotlights, the Wizard Video has been unleashed. And yes, they are clearly The Ultimate Power in the Universe. Watch and see!
Make sure you head on over to the Launch Site and pick up your Witch Doctor in game banner sigil before time runs out later in the day.
I’m pretty glad that they showed some high-power wizard destruction. Out of all the classes, wizards bring the pain to large groups. BAM!
At 2:40…Living Lightning rune for Shock Pulse? And lots of variations on the theme of Hydra and Blizzard in there, too. How awesome. How awesomely awesome! 
After watching all five spotlight videos, I now believe the employees at Blizzard take great pleasure in tormenting their customers. How else can you explain the utter coolness of each class? With each exciting video that was revealed, my decision to start out with each class has changed! How can my first avatar be all of them?!
Look at all the hydras!
I am not sold on the Archon. I wish they would explain more about how it works, where runes give bonus skills and whatnot. How are those skilled activated, if they do not naturally have a hotkey? Do they just take over your normal hotkeys? Also, I think the animation could have been more awesome.
As of BlizzCon last year the Archon has 3 abilities which replace your current hotbar.
One is the disintegrate on crack, it doesn’t go as far but does way more damage.
The second is a frontal slam attack very much similar to Hammer of the Ancients.
The Third is a nova.
So for any runes that give an additional spell (like teleport), I’d imagine it’d just show up in your #3 slot. I believe disintegrate is on one of your mouse buttons and the other two are #1 and #2.
Of course, things are subject to change so all of that might be complete lies by now.
Sweet. Thanks for the info, even if it might be outdated.
