Diablo 3 - Guide to the Wizard's Skills!

Never was there a harder choice to make in Diablo 3 ! With which character will we descend into battle against the horrors of the Flaming Underworld? Our guides will certainly help you to choose the best character among the Barbarian, the Shaman, the Wizard, the Demon Hunter and the Monk. Below you will find the characteristics, active skills and passive abilities of the Wizard.

Wizards are manipulators of arcane renegade energies, capable of using their bodies as energy receptacles, ignoring the cautious path of study followed by other professionals of magic. They shape all sorts of arcane forces to disintegrate, burn and freeze enemies. They can also control time and light to teleport, create powerful illusions and deflect incoming attacks. Wizards wield wands and sticks to channel their less powerful spells and keep enemies busy while collecting the energy and time needed to destroy them in a deadly storm of arcane magic. With a few exceptions, most wizards' attacks are carried out at a distance from the enemy. In this way, they take little risk and can make the most of their boundless destructive power.

KEY FEATURES

ELEMENTAL MASTERY
The magicians boast dominion over the natural elements of Sanctuarium. Flames, lightning, ice and vortexes are all at their command. This versatility allows wizards to bypass enemy defenses and hit them in their weak points.

AREA ATTACHMENTS
The battlefield is covered by the forces summoned by the magician. Arcane energies take the form of cones and waves capable of hitting groups of enemies, rays capable of knocking down groups of navversaries and rocks raining down from the sky crushing the slower ones.

PROTECTION SPELLS
Although they are not as strong or agile as some of the other heroes, magicians know how to protect themselves with defensive spells. They can cover their skin with a diamond armor, create mirror images that confuse enemies and slow down or injure opponents naive enough to attack them directly.

NEVER-ENDING ENERGY
Wizards are unlikely to find themselves without the power of magic. Thanks to their arcane power, which regenerates very quickly, they are almost always able to cast at least the weakest spells. Also, as they gain experience, wizards can use particular powers more easily.

ARCANE RESOURCE-POWER!

Unlike the more cautious practitioners of magic, magicians are magnets of arcane power: an intense energy that they can channel and direct spontaneously as if it were an extension of their body. Wizards unleash arcane power. It regenerates quickly, allowing them to cast minor spells without fear of consuming it. The only case in which they must fear the exhaustion of their energy reserves is when they attempt to summon more powers at the same time. If not used with caution, the arcane power can devastate the body of a magician. Therefore, magicians are forced to spend a period of rest before using the most powerful spells again. Some of these, such as meteor showers, energy torrents that can invest multiple enemies, or energy spheres that interrupt the flow of time, are so powerful that they are worth the waiting time before they are cast.
