==[[Synergies]]==
Wave of Force benefits directly from the following [[traitWizard traits]]s:
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Increases damage done by spells and increases armor.
* [[Intimidation]]: Increases damage done and reduces vendor costs.
* [[Power Surge]]: Increase critical strike damage.
* [[Penetrating Spells]]: Reduces the resistances of your target to your spells by 20%.
'''Note:''' The current [[trait]] list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game release.
==Development==
Wave of Force was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled, as a Tier II skill on the [[Arcane Skill Tree]]. Unfortunately, [[Flux]] (like other demo players) found little use for defensive skills:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/wizard-gameplay-report/P2/] <blockquote>''Sadly, I never used it, since it’s basically a defensive skill that wasn’t needed in the Blizzcon Demo. It’s demonstrated in the Blizzcon gameplay movies though, and looks pretty fun. Wave of Force casts a nova-like ring of energy that blasts out from the Wizard, shoving back enemies and reflecting projectiles towards their source. The spell possibilities created when teaming this with Slow Time are fun to contemplate.</blockquote> Wave of Force was available at [[BlizzCon 2009]], where it lost a little bit of damage and had a lot lower [[mana]] cost. This skill was also available at [[BlizzCon 2010]], but it wasn't one of the Wizard's starting skills. ===Previous Versions===See the [[Wizard skill archive]] for more details on previous versions of Wave of Force and other Wizard skills.<br> Or see [[Wave of Force (BlizzCon 2008)]] for the original version of this skill.
