==Skill Design==
This one was impressiveskill sends out a twister from the Wizard, but very unpredictable. The graphic is great; you can see that in moving slowly away from the gameplay movie from [[BlizzCon 2009]], and it does more caster in more or less roughly a straight line, but without some sort of tank and doing moderate damage to everything it wasn't very easy to hit enemies withhits. [[Arcane Orb]] was nearly as damagingIt appears impressive, far easier to aim, and cheaper on the [[mana]]. This [[Wizard]] just has so many cool active spells to try out but it's impossible to get a handle on everything in a short play timehigh resource cost makes it only suitable for occasional use.
==[[Trait Synergies]]==
Energy Twister benefits directly from the following [[Wizard traits]]:
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Increases damage done by spells and increases armor.
==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==* None No [[rune]] effects for Energy Twister are known. A runed version of Energy Twister has been seen in video<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/new-footage-shows-many-new-rune-effects/ Gorgeous New Skill Rune Effects] -- Incgamers 31st Mar 2011</ref>, but it's unclear what the effect is.
==Development==
'''Energy Twister''' was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the Wizard debuted, then named [[Tornado]] and placed at Tier IV on the [[Storm Skill Tree]]. For [[BlizzCon 2009]], this skill was moved to Tier III and renamed Energy Twister. Why the name was changed is unknown, but the functionality remained roughly the same. [[Flux]] tried it out in the PvM demo:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/full-wizard-skill-trees/] <blockquote>''This one was impressive, but very unpredictable.

Energy Twister was available in the [[BlizzCon 2010]] demo, but wasn't one of the Wizard's starting skills.
See the [[Wizard skill archive]] for more details on previous versions of Energy Twister (or [[Tornado]]) and other Wizard skills.
