Well, watching the videos and comparing them again, I concluded a couple of things.
- There will be different spellcasting animations for different weapons.. You can notice when she's using the Orb (video that begins with a cinematic) that she puts her hands forward and the orb kind of disappears, becoming a mist.. When she is holding a staff (in the other gameplay video where Leoric "summons" 4 columns that spawn zombies), the casting is similar but we can see that she swings the staff to cast spells, and it doens't disappear obviously =D
- Also, she has different spellcasting animations for some spells - Magic Missile (is this the name? purple little ball maybe?) for instance, she casts by doing a dowards animation or horizontal one. Pretty damn cool as well, so we don't get bored of the same animation.
- I noticed when she's wearing a shield that she does so in the same hand she was carrying the orb AND the staff in other parts/videos, and I can't see any weapon. Is it possible that the shield may be used to channel the energy for her spells in Diablo 3? Does she have to "learn" how to wield 2 things at the same time?
She can be seen using one on the 5:56 duration gameplay video from Blizzcon, which starts with her against some zombies in a kind of forest, then she proceeds to a cemetery..
At about 1:55 it becomes clear that she's using a Round Shield. Pretty cool if you ask me.
Did anyone notice that the Wizard wears a shield in the gameplay video?
Do you guys think she'll wear plenty of armor, focusing on 1-handed-orbs instead of focusing on staves?
Also, I haven't seen she use the orb to "hit the zombie's heads".. Just use spells, do you think she'll be able to attack only through spells or will she still hit with Physical Weapons?
Do you think the spells will be different if she uses a staff? Would be pretty nice if at least the casting-animation is different when she's wearing different weapons..
