+Energy Twister was available in the [[BlizzCon 2010]] demo, but 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 Energy Twister became a level 11 skill.
 ===Beta===
-Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Energy Twister became a level 11 skill. [[Flux]] thought it was nice to look at but underwhelming:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/wizard-beta-skills-mega-report-part-one]

 <blockquote>''Energy Twister looks pretty, and it’s kind of fun to play with. I took more screenshots of it than of most skills, since the visuals were nice. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work very well, and I’m not honestly sure what the skill is supposed to do well. The tornadoes aren’t any good at AoE damage (too small a radius), they take a long time to reach even close targets, they move erratically and can’t be aimed, they have some slight stunning effect that draws monsters in, but it’s not strong enough to have much effect, and they don’t deal that much damage even when they do hit something.</blockquote>
-When the skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, Energy Twister was classified as an Arcane skill and moved to level 15. For March's [[Beta Patch 14]], Energy Twister was dropped to level 13 but also nerfed a bit. Also, the category "Arcane" was renamed "Force".
