Classes - Wizard
Description (borrowed from Blizzard again)
Wizards are renegade spellcasters who use their bodies as vessels for arcane energy, forsaking the more careful path favored by other magic users. They manipulate all manner of forces to disintegrate, burn, and freeze their foes, and they can control time and light to teleport, create powerful illusions, and deflect oncoming attacks.
Wizards grip wands and staves to focus their less potent magics, blasting at their enemies while gathering the energy or time necessary to destroy them in a dazzling hail of arcane might.
With few exceptions, wizard attacks are conducted at a distance, away from danger. As living artillery, wizards are well suited to relying on long-range destructive power.
Skills
Contrary to what you'd expect Wizards don't use Mana but Arcane Power to cast their spells. Also unlike most classes they don't have any skills that generate their ressource but all their primary skills (or signature spells if you prefer) are free to cast which is pretty damn good if you ask me!
A lot of the skills will sound familiar to any Diablo II player such as Frost Nova, Meteor, Blizzard and Teleport but the Wizard is also equipped with intriguing new spells like Slow Time which creates a bubble where enemies and their projectiles are slowed down or Archon which gives you power overwhelming!

5/5 - When I get the game I think I'm gonna split my time between leveling a Demon Hunter and a Wizard because I don't think I'll have the patience to wait until I finish to main quest to try this class out!
