Wizard Skills: -> complete bc2010 overhaul
===Wizard Skills===
[[Image:D3_skilltree_wizardshot.jpg|thumb|right|150px|An off-screen still image of the Wizard's skill tree.]]
The [[wizard skill]]s are arranged into to three distinctive skill tree categories:
* [[Storm_Skill_Tree|Storm]]
* [[Arcane_Skill_Tree|Arcane]]
* [[Conjuration_Skill_Tree|Conjuration]].
All three trees have a combination of active and passive skills. Active skills are used in combat, while the passive skills usually boost or change the behaviour of the active skills.
Blizzcon 2010 revealed a complete skill system overhaul, which of course also affected the wizard. Skills were no longer divided up into skill trees, they were simply unlocked without prerequisites at certain levels and could be used to fill up to 7 skill slots.
As soon as the required level to unlock a skill slot is reached, the player can chose between skills as listed below. Acquiring new skills or putting further skill points into already acquired skills is always the player's choice. ====Arcane SkillsTier 1====[[Image:Magic_Missile_impact.jpg‎|thumb|right|150px|[[Magic Missile]]]][[Image:Wiz-spectral-blade1.jpg|thumb|right|150px|[[Spectral Blade]]]][[Image:Wiz-mirror-image1.jpg|thumb|right|150px|[[Mirror Image]]]][[Image:Wiz-slow-time1.jpg|thumb|leftright|150px|[[Electrocute]] in a [[Slow Time]] bubble.]]The [[Arcane_Skill_TreeImage:Wiz-frost-nova1.jpg|thumb|right|150px|[[Frost Nova]]]][[Image:Tornado.jpg|thumb|right|150px|[[Energy Twister]]]][[Image:Wiz-disintegrate1.jpg|thumb|right|150px|[[Disintegrate]]]][[Image:Wiz-meteor1.jpg|thumb|right|150px|[[Arcane tree skillsTorrent]]]]:Unlocked at level 2:::* [[Magic Missile]]:::Fires a missile of energy causing x-y arcane damage.::* [[Spectral Blade]]:::Summons a spectral blade that strikes enemies in front of the Wizard x times causing y-z physical damage with each hit.::* [[Charged Bolt]] consists :::Launches a volley of many classical pen and paper RPGs, including time distortionsx electric bolts that deal y-z lightning damage per bolt.  ====Tier 2====:Unlocked at level 3:::* [[Explosive Blast]]:::Builds up energy around the Wizard that explodes after x seconds, causing y-z physical damage in a small radius. ::* [[DisintegrateMirror Image]], :::Creates an illusionary duplicate of the Wizard that lasts for x seconds and other magical forces has y% of the caster's health. ::* [[Wave of Force]]:::Causes a wave of pure force that are not related causes a knockback to elements like Firenearby enemies, repels projectiles and deals x-y physical damage. ::* [[IceArmor]]:::Surrounds the Wizard in a barrier of ice that increases armor by x%, Lightningfreezes attackers for y seconds, and causes z-a cold damage.

The [[Conjuring_Skill_Tree|Conjuring tree skills]] summons protection or offence from other planes of existence. This is where the classic [[Hydra]] spell is located, as well as the powerful [[meteor]]. This tree can also be used to increase or modify other spells, similar to the Arcane tree.
