===Beta===
Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Magic Weapon became a level 7 skill. After trying it out, [[Flux]] again discussed its viability:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/wizard-beta-skills-mega-report-part-two]
<blockquote>''The damage added is fairly minor, certainly compared to just about any spell attack, and this is purely of use for battle mages. (As has been observed on the known Diablo III legendary items, the amount of +%weapon damage found on gear is much lower than it was in Diablo II, and figures like +25-35% are the best to be found on even the Inferno-quality legendary items. Thus on that scale, +20% is a fairly big bonus, akin to something like +200% in Diablo II terms.)</blockquote>
When the skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, Magic Weapon was classified as a Conjuration skill and bumped all the way up to level 20, putting taking it out of reachplay in the beta.
