Now that the F&F beta is in full swing, and we can see streams and all of that, how do you feel about the wizard?
(Here are some questions to maybe get you thinking)
Was it what you expected it to be?
Do think it seems or or less fun now that you have watched it and can see it being played?
Does it seem strong or weak compared to the other classes?
How do you feel about the skills?
Have you changed your mind on the order in which you are going to play this class due to the footage/streams?
What do you like or dislike about it so far?
Like I said, there aren't questions you have to answer, but maybe just to help stir thoughts for discussion.
I'm going to add a poll to the topic on how the footage may have changed your mind of the wiz.
I always liked it, but after watching Wigen play the wizard, using Frost Nova + Wave of Force, and absolutely destroying up to 24 monsters in 1 hit...yeah, it renewed my excitement for the wizard.
Was it what you expected it to be?Yes even more powerful seeming than i had hoped
Do think it seems more or less fun now that you have watched it and can see it being played?More fun for sure, can't wait to be combining skills and runes, etc. I agree with Bran after watching Wigen play (one of the only people I could find playing Wizard for some reason....)totally got me excited to play.
Does it seem strong or weak compared to the other classes?I would say strong. Not as strong as the barb, like as much pure, brute force..but stronger than the WD.
How do you feel about the skills?From what I've seen of the skills they seem awesome, I love the idea of freezing things then blasting them to pieces...arcane does seem a bit boring to me though :/
Have you changed your mind on the order in which you are going to play this class due to the footage/streams?
Nope, I will play Wizard first for sure, I have always wanted to since it was first announced.
But, I might change the order I play the other classes. DH or Monk are looking promising as my second roll.
Well i like it, but i hope that they bring down some CDs it is just insane, Teleport 18 secs????
Frost nova 12 secs, Wave of force 16 secs also they are very expensive on the Arcane Power
I mean this is WAY to long and expensive i wont get any CD spells it will be a waste.
Or maybe i will just play another class, in my opinion Wizard is broken with all this huge CDs. LOL
12 secs Frost Nova, is that more than the Mage's WoW frost Nova??? I wanna forget WoW
Not me. I think a lot of those abilities should have long cool-downs, and 12 seconds is hardly very long, it basically means you can use it first thing every fight, or possibly first and last part of every fight and you just can't spam it. That seems very reasonable to me. I like the idea of having some very powerful abilities, but if you could spam them, they can't GIVE you any powerful abilities because that's all you would use, so this is the compromise to make amazing spells balanced within the game.

Well im not asking to remove the CDs, by doing so you can spam spells, now by adding a CD to it you cant spam it anymore.
I just think for the teleport ability to have 18 sec CD it is WAY to long for a game like diablo, since you engage packs of monsters in less than 5 secs, bash me if you want in my comparision, but not even WoW has the teleport ability with that Huge of a CD, and it is a VERY different game where engaging MoBs is in a much more slow pace.
After i watched a couple of videos of wizard gameplay i could see that you still spam skills since lots of them doesnt have CD like Arcane Orb, Shock Pulse, Arcane Missile, since you will pick probably 1 for single target and 1 for AoE, some mobility (well i cant call teleport mobility i LOL at the CD im sorry).
Taking a look at the Demon Hunter, Vault ability can be casted 4 times with a full Discipline.
I mean dont get me wrong i DO want the CDs, but really does it need to be THAT long?
