<h2 style="margin:0;backgroundPassive skills replaced [[Traits]] late in game development. Many passives are very similar to previously-color:#cef2e0;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:120%;fontknown 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.

==Wizard Passives==This list is tentative and based on the beta build. Expect further refinements in the final game.  {| style{Skill description header}}<skill class="width:600px;-moz-border-radius:11px; border:1.5px dashed #55dd55;background:#eeffeeWizard" align>Blur</skill><skill class="centerWizard" >Power Hungry</skill>|-<skill class="Wizard">Evocation</skill>|[[Image:wiki.png|180px]]<skill class="Wizard">Glass Cannon</skill>|align<skill class="centerWizard"|>Prodigy</skill><font colorskill class="blackWizard">Astral Presence</skill><brskill class="Wizard">Illusionist</skill><bigskill class="Wizard">'''Missing DiabloWiki Flash Plugin.'''Cold Blooded</bigskill><brskill class="Wizard">Conflagration<big/skill>'''Your Plugin version is outdated.'''<skill class="Wizard">Paralysis</bigskill><brskill class="Wizard">Galvanizing Ward<big/skill>'''Please update it.'''<skill class="Wizard">Temporal Flux</bigskill><brskill class="Wizard">Critical Mass</skill><bigskill class="Wizard">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'''Click heres 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 [[:Category: Passive skill archive|removed passives]].   ==References==* [http://xdiablo.incgamers.cocom/q7bR Flash Plugin]forums/showthread.php?p=7960229#post7960229 Zediono's translation of JudgeHype's pre-beta report] -- IncGamers 1st Aug 2011* [http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8008951#post8008951 HardRock'<s Wizard Passive Skills] -- IncGamers 6th Sep 2011* [http://big><br>''Diablowikius.battle.net''/d3/en/class/wizard/passive/ Wizard Passive Skills] </font>{{Skill_navbox_Diablo_III|Wizard}} [[category:Skills]][[category:Wizard]]
