Many passives are very similar to previously-known traits, with the main changes coming in changes to the character level requirements, and the fact that passives are on/off, rather than using 1, 3, or 5 points, as Traits did. Characters only get three passive in total, with one slot opening up for a passive at Clvl 10, 20, and 30.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Wizard Passives==<br /> This list is tentative and based on the beta build. Expect further refinements in the final game.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Passive skills header}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Power Hungry}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Blur}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Evocation}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Glass Cannon}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Prodigy}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Astral Presence}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Illusionist}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Cold Blooded}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Conflagration}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Paralysis}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Galvanizing Ward}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Temporal Flux}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Critical Mass}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Arcane Dynamo}}<br /> {{Wizard Passive Unstable Anomaly}}<br /> <br /> ==Development==<br /> * See the [[Wizard skill archive]] for the full list, with descriptions, of all active and passive skills that have been removed from the game during development.<br /> <br /> <br /> By the [[July 2011 Press Event]], the skill system had once again been completely redesigned. The [[traits]] system was scrapped, and replaced by a new version of passive skills, but still separate from the active skills. Although 9 of the Wizard's traits were turned into passives, 23 of them were removed, and 6 passives were brand new.<br /> <br /> The list of Wizard passives shown at the press event is likely still in development and may change before game release.<br /> <br /> Not all passive skills have stayed in the game. Many were removed during the [[Beta test]].<br /> * See the list of [[:Category:Passive skill archive|removed passives]].<br /> <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * [http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7960229#post7960229 Zediono's translation of JudgeHype's pre-beta report] -- IncGamers 1st Aug 2011<br /> * [http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8008951#post8008951 HardRock's Wizard Passive Skills] -- IncGamers 6th Sep 2011<br /> * [http://us.battle.net/d3/en/class/wizard/passive/ Wizard Passive Skills]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Skill_navbox_Diablo_III|Wizard}}<br /> <br /> [[category:Wizard]]<br /> [[category:Wizard passives]]<br /> [[category:Passive skills]]<br /> [[category:Skills]]</div> Mootastic
