Is it only me or does the Wizard seem to be the PvP champion as far as the current game development goes? Just imagin teleing around with your illusions and damaging rune or hiding in the time slow bubble casting desintegrate around! The area of effect and spamability looks very good on the spells. I especially like the bigger nados. I think that, if they balance it right, PvP is going to be really interesting in D3.

Now, mainly to the people that have actually had their hands on the game already: is there a cooldown on spells? Does fcr still exist? How spamable is teleport? Was there hostile option in the demo or anything pvp related? Are there going to be some PvP penalties? Were there any PvP related informations revealed at blizzcon whatsoever? Could someone nick a CD with the demo and put it on torrent please? ;)

From the gameplay video teleport was used in rapid succession and it didn't seem to have any cooldown. Something similar to fcr does exist, in one of the wizard skill trees he has a skill that incresses cast speed.

From what we've seen, Teleport has two limitations:
- It has an inherent cooldown, since the animation seems to take many more frames than in D2.
- You may not be able to teleport through walls, which is why the wizard destroys the door before teleporting.

Also, the Wizard may have significantly lower hitpoints and longer recovery time than other classes to balance her for PvP.

I don't think Teleport has a cooldown as WoW does. While it might be slower to spam teleport, you can still spam it, especially if you max that FCR skill the wizard has.

I do agree that it's possible teleport was tweaked so you have to open doors and can't teleport over walls now.
