A player ask about Wizard skill tree comletion in Diablo 3, don’t forget to see all the Wizard skill trees here:
Fire………
Does the wizard seriously not have fire its disposal? I just finished reading the skill trees which can be found here ( http://diablo3x.com/ablo3x.com/diablo-3-barbarian-skill-trees-revealed) and there were no fire skills!
Wizards have Arcane spells
Wizards have Lightning spell
Wizards have Energy spells
Wizards have Ice Spells
only…
I personally liked the skills I saw, I feel they are emphasizing more strategy than lots of damage and I Love adding runes to the skills to completely change combat, but what I don’t like is the absence of fire.
Does anyone know the reason of this?
Have they mentioned why they are going to remove fire altogether from the magic based characters?
Is this blizzards way of making the wizard different than Diablo 2′s Sorceress?
Or have they simply not finished the fire animations yet and are going to add fire to “Tier V”?
I think it would be awesome if they saved the last Tier for purely fire skills and made them the most powerful. I know blizzard is doing their best, and know how what are the right decisions to make in the game. But if wizards could not cause any havoc with fire, I will be really disappointed.
Im surprised I havent seen a single other thread on this topic. Am I the only person who loves the Sorceress’s fire skills in Diablo 2?
Edit:
As of now only one skill, the Wizard’s Hydra, is fired based. (and I’m only assuming it is, I havent seen it yet). The wizard alone cannot conjure fire.
The wizard is a young and very arrogant student. Rightfully so in some ways as she is extremely gifted. She knows she’s better than all of her classmates at mage-school, and even some of the teachers. Something as simple as elemental magic would probably be something the wizard considers beneath her. She focuses on high magics, arcane magic, the control of space and time, and while she does like to focus on weather based magics – she tends to put a slight arcane or unnatural spin on them.If she were to use fire, she wouldn’t do it in such a pedestrian way as to literally conjure it herself. She’d want to make it a bit more challenging.
Fire is a physical element that the Witch Doctor uses a fair amount of though. His kit is a mixture of physical magic and the supernatural, which obviously fits very well with his name. We want each class to feel unique, and a separation of visual style is important to basic gameplay, so there’s some intentional guidelines as to how much skill types and styles should overlap between the classes.
Q u o t e:
what would you call disintegrate?
You could mistake disintegrate as fire based, but it’s actually a beam of pure energy, and is classified as arcane damage.
Q u o t e:
She does eh… What about the male Wizard? Does he have the EXACT same back story??? Serious question…
Yes. It’s just easier and sounds better to write these things from the perspective of one gender.
[edit] Oh, EXACT same? I don’t know.
