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.
===Beta===Skill tiers were removed for shortly before the [[July 2011 Press Eventbeta]]started in September 2011, and Wave of Force became a level 4 skill. When [[Flux]] thought it fun but still pretty useless in the skill system was once again overhauled for early game found in the beta:[[Beta Patch 13]http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/wizard-beta-skills-mega-report-part-one] <blockquote>''...it’s purely a support skill in February 2012the beta. The long cooldown ensures that, and even if not, the range is fairly limited, Wave of Force was classified as an compared to your real attack skills like Arcane skill Orb, Electrocute, and moved Disintegrate. By the time you get close enough to level 9hit any ranged attacker with Frost Nova or this, your Wizard is getting nailed by all incoming projectiles, not to mention the melee attackers you are running past to get to the back row.</blockquote>
When the skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, Wave of Force was classified as an Arcane skill and moved to level 9. For March's [[Beta Patch 14]], Wave of Force was nerfed slightly, and the "Arcane" category was renamed "Force".
