Development
Storm Armor was first shown at BlizzCon 2008 when the Wizard debuted. Back then, it was a Tier II skill in the Storm Skill Tree, and playable in the demo. However, it wasn't a popular choice; Flux explained why:[1]
...no one was bothering much with defensive skills at Blizzcon; not in the short time we had to play, and the small dungeon we had to clear out. I didn’t test out this one, but it sounds like a fairly interesting skill. It’s somewhat misleading in name, since the description doesn’t mention any defensive properties; just that it fires out lightning bolts at nearby enemies.
It was seen again at BlizzCon 2009, but as a Tier V skill, so it was too high level to try out. Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Storm Armor became a level 13 skill.
