Energy Twister in the Forgotten Tombs.

Combining magical force and air, the Wizard brings a continuous, but time limited, twister out of the aether to destroy enemies.


Skill Design

This one was impressive, but very unpredictable. The graphic is great; you can see that in the gameplay movie from BlizzCon 2009, and it does more in more or less a straight line, but without some sort of tank it wasn't very easy to hit enemies with. Arcane Orb was nearly as damaging, far easier to aim, and cheaper on the mana. This Wizard just has so many cool active spells to try out it's impossible to get a handle on everything in a short play time.
