Passive skills replaced [[Traits]] late in game development. Many passives are very similar to previously<h2 style="margin:0;background-known traits, with the main changes coming in changes to the character level requirements, and the fact that passives are on/off, rather than using 1, 3, or 5 points, as Traits did. Characters only get three passive in total, with one slot opening up for a passive at Clvl 10, 20, and 30.color:#cef2e0;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:120%;font

==Wizard Passives==This list is tentative and based on the beta build. Expect further refinements in the final game.  {{Skill description header}}<skill class| style="Wizardwidth:600px;-moz-border-radius:11px; border:1.5px dashed #55dd55;background:#eeffee">Blur</skill><skill classalign="Wizardcenter">Power Hungry</skill><skill class="Wizard">Evocation</skill>|-<skill class="Wizard">Glass Cannon</skill>|[[Image:wiki.png|180px]]<skill class|align="Wizardcenter">Prodigy|</skill><skill classfont color="Wizardblack">Astral Presence</skill><skill class="Wizard"br>Illusionist</skillbig><skill class="Wizard">Cold Blooded'''Missing DiabloWiki Flash Plugin.'''</skillbig><skill class="Wizard"br>Conflagration</skillbig><skill class="Wizard">Paralysis'''Your Plugin version is outdated.'''</skillbig><skill class="Wizard"br>Galvanizing Ward</skillbig><skill class="Wizard">Temporal Flux'''Please update it.'''</skillbig><skill class="Wizard">Critical Mass</skillbr><skill class="Wizard"big>Arcane Dynamo</skill><skill class="Wizard">Unstable Anomaly</skill>   ==Development==* See the [[Wizard skill archive]] for the full list, with descriptions, of all active and passive skills that have been removed from the game during development.  By the [[July 2011 Press Event]], the skill system had once again been completely redesigned. The [[traits]] system was scrapped, and replaced by a new version of passive skills, but still separate from the active skills. Although 9 of the Wizard's traits were turned into passives, 23 of them were removed, and 6 passives were brand new. The list of Wizard passives shown at the press event is likely still in development and may change before game release. Not all passive skills have stayed in the game. Many were removed during the [[Beta test]].* See the list of [[''Click here:Category:Passive skill archive|removed passives]].   ==References==* [http://diablo.incgamersx.comco/forumsq7bR Flash Plugin]'''</showthread.php?p=7960229#post7960229 Zedionobig><br>'s translation of JudgeHype's pre-beta report] -- IncGamers 1st Aug 2011* [http://diabloDiablowiki.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8008951#post8008951 HardRocknet''s Wizard Passive Skills] -- IncGamers 6th Sep 2011* [http:<//us.battle.net/d3/en/class/wizard/passive/ Wizard Passive Skills] font>{{Skill_navbox_Diablo_III|Wizard}} [[category:Skills]][[category:Wizard]]
