A new interview with Rob Pardo has been posted on the IGN site. It talks about the new Wizard class and what it brings to the table, as well as other subjects that are Diablo related.
"She's kind of our most classic magic-using class," Pardo told us. "If you have a mage or a sorcerer or a wizard, she kind of fills that archetype. She's going to be great at ranged combat; she's going to be great at area-of-effect magic. She's also going to be the crazy special effects class."
When asked about what the upper limit will be for co-op play, he said that the final number is up in the air but they're currently looking at eight. "We're a little bit worried that if you go up to too many players that you're not really going to be playing together anymore. We want to make sure it's a great co-op experience where you really play with the people you're with, so we've just got to experiment and figure out what the optimal number is."
