'''Wave of Force''' is a Force [[Wizard skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 9, creating a force wave from the Wizard, repelling enemies and projectiles.

The following is a very quick summary. See the [[Wave of Force rune effects]] page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

Wave of Force was available at [[BlizzCon 2009]], where it lost a little bit of damage and had a lot lower [[mana]] cost. This skill was also available at [[BlizzCon 2010]], but it wasn't one of the Wizard's starting skills.

Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], allowing skills to unlock steadily from levels 1 to 30. Consequently, all skill levels were adjusted and Wave of Force became a level 4 skill.

<blockquote>''...it’s purely a support skill in the beta. The long cooldown ensures that, and even if not, the range is fairly limited, compared to your real attack skills like Arcane Orb, Electrocute, and Disintegrate. By the time you get close enough to hit any ranged attacker with Frost Nova or this, your Wizard is getting nailed by all incoming projectiles, not to mention the melee attackers you are running past to get to the back row.</blockquote>

~~When~~ With the ~~skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta~~ Patch 13~~]] in February 2012~~changes, Wave of Force was classified as an Arcane skill and moved to level 9. For March's [[Beta Patch 14]], Wave of Force was nerfed slightly, and the "Arcane" category was renamed "Force".
