Just watched the game play footage of the wizard, It was way better then I imagined. I think Light show nails it perfectly. The trouble will now be which character to play first, I'm a bit partial to the barbarian and swinging a large two handed weapon about, but that wizard sure looks fun...

The rune system also looks like it could be a really neat idea. I wonder if you put an explosion rune on a spell that already explodes would it make a larger explosion? I don't suppose they mentioned how many runes they already had in game?

With those three classes announced Wizard(sorceress), Witch doctor(necromancer) and the Barbarian I reckon they will have to have a ranged bow using class. Anyone want to take any bets on what the fifth class will be?

I think the easiest way to finish Diablo 3 would be by using Barbarian character, while the hardest would have to be wizard, which is exactly what happened in Diablo 2.. They should balance the characters more.. Also,, when I played Diablo 2 expansion using the Assasin character,, it was even easier because of traps.. lolz
