==Background==

[[File:Diablo_III_Logo.jpg|thumb|200px~~|right~~|Blizzard in action.]]

Calling upon the elements, drawing huge amounts of cold energy to the physical plane, a torrent of icy shards pelt an area directed by the [[Wizard]].

==~~Skillrune~~ Skill Rune Effects==

The following is a very quick summary. See the [[Blizzard 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.

==Synergies==

~~Blizzard benefits from the~~ The following [[Wizard passives]]provide a benefit to Blizzard, runed or not: ~~None added yet.~~{{Passive skills header}}{{Wizard Passive Glass Cannon}}

'''Blizzard''' was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the Wizard debuted, at that point a Tier IV skill in the [[Storm Skill Tree]]. It was a Tier V skill in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo, which made it too high-level for players to select it.

Blizzard was again present in the [[BlizzCon 2010]] demo, but still too high-level to play. 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 Blizzard became a level 26 skill.

===Beta===

~~Skill tiers were removed shortly before~~ {{Beta skill notes}} Blizzard remained at level 26 when the [[beta]] started ~~in September 2011, and Bizzard became a level 26 skill~~. ~~When the skill system was once again overhauled for~~ With the ~~[[Beta~~ Patch 13~~]] in February 2012~~changes, ~~Blizzard~~ it was classified as an Arcane skill and moved to level 27. For March's [[Beta Patch 14]], Blizzard was somewhat [[nerf]]ed. Also, the category "Arcane" was renamed "Force".
