The third official class is revealed! The Wizard!An expected turn from Blizzard, since they want to have many of the classic RPG archetypes in the games, the Wizard is in many senses a “glass cannon” able to deal extreme amounts of ranged (and sometimes close quarters) damage while she being rather delicate in her hit points. The class comes with a few interesting turns, for example: her primary weapon may be used in some spells and that weapon will receive damage boosts by some passive skills. This means that the wizard class, long considered unable to do decent melee damage will now become more of a hybrid.
Now regarding the lore, the Wizard character comes from an island in the far east and she came to the eastern kingdoms to properly learn about the magic rituals of the mage clans. Since she is a brilliant, arrogant mage, she quickly dismisses her teachers and becomes a rebellious mage (yeah, rebellious youth, that’s a new one).
Lastly, the creative design of the character is great. I think the clothing and armor style looks a like a mixed of asian influences, with a hint of the assassin character from D2. I must admit, this character is my favorite so far, let’s see what is next from Blizzard, I can’t wait to see the final two classes.

So far the sexiest class, not only the armor looks stylish great, also the class itself.
"Hybrid" is always pictured as weird, hard to handle or a bizarre combination of lots of things, and this class (at least with the information so far revealed) is the exception of the rule.
Keep the best until the end. Im still waiting for my gauntlet class.
Yeah hybrids are really hard to balance, since they are not supposed to excel at everything, but at the same time they must be good at everything.
Ah, and the famous Gauntlet, for you this will so easy Reh, since the game has to have an archetype of Archer/Ranger. Not only that, but the Archer will have a female version, therefore you are guaranteed to be happy.
Where is my Necromancer MOFO!
