'''Wave of Force ''' was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled, as a Tier II skill on the [[Arcane Skill Tree]]. Unfortunately, [[Flux]] (like and other demo players) found little use for defensive skills:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/wizard-gameplay-report/P2/]
<blockquote>''Sadly, I never used it, since it’s basically a defensive skill that wasn’t needed in the Blizzcon Demo. It’s demonstrated in the Blizzcon gameplay movies though, and looks pretty fun. Wave of Force casts a nova-like ring of energy that blasts out from the Wizard, shoving back enemies and reflecting projectiles towards their source. The possibilities created when teaming this with Slow Time are fun to contemplate.</blockquote>
