==Development==
'''Explosive Blast ''' was first seen at [[BlizzCon 2009]] in the gameplay demo available to visitors, where it was on the [[Conjuring Skill Tree]] at Tier III. It was one of the Wizard's starting skills at [[BlizzCon 2010]], located at Tier 2 after skill trees were removed. [[Flux]] found it entertaining:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/hands-on-from-blizzcon-mega-pvm-report-wizard] <blockquote>''It’s basically a short-range nova, on a time delay. You click it, and after 1.5 seconds (at level one) it blew up, dealing fairly substantial physical damage. The time delay made it unsuitable for emergency situations, but if you got used to the timing it was fun to click midway through a battle, knowing it would blast a moment later and finish off the enemy.</blockquote> ===Previous Versions===See the [[Wizard skill archive]] for more details on previous versions of Explosive Blast and other Wizard skills.
