View Full Version : Wizard Will Be The Least Played Character in D3
I feel like there weren't much changes made between the Sorceress in D2 and the Wizard in D3. Everyone is going to want to play all the new characters; not the same character everyone is use to (sorceress).
Er, the Wizard is consistently landing in the top 2-3 "first to play" characters in on-line polls. Besides, there are plenty of changes. The Sorc didn't anywhere near the amount of defensive and crowd control options the Wizard has.

Honestly? I don't care if it's the least played class. I play a Shaman in WoW, so I can take being in a minority.
Your concern is duly noted and appreciated, OP, but I think I'll be cool. As will everyone else out there.
You underestimate the appeal of a giant orange laser beam of death.

I think the male Wizard has the potential to be the least played, since most will probably pick the more attractive female version, part of that being that the Sorceress in D2 was also female.
But I can live with that, so I can be a special snowflake!

Find this bit trolly, but will respond anyways. I think you might want to say that of the barbarian as well, but when you look at all the different and never before seen skills i do see alot of difference and will enjoy playing the wizard, not really caring for which gender. Nice that we have the choice now. Sorcerss was/is awesome, wizard is just different, but dark and renegade.

That's actually a minor beef I have with the class... I guess I'm too used to Neverwinter Nights (which subsequently implies too used to DnD) in which it's the Wizard that's the heavily trained, schooled and disciplined spellslinger and the Sorcerer that's the renegade, self-taught, no discipline spellslinger with the potential to blow up the world (or him/herself).
It's not going to change my decisions (I was locked in on the Wizard the moment it was announced), but for some strange reason it just doesn't feel right.
Alright, you all can have your thread back now.

i have to dissagree , Im convinced it will be the most played char for both MF and PVP. As ive said in other posts it depends on how they ballance the farming and dmg output of the other classes, but if we dont get to know that befor launch a lot of people like me will struggle to not pick the best farmer.
There is no reason to suspect that the Wizard is the best PvP/MF character before seeing damage output of other classes.

I think its going to be one of the most played classes; once everyone figures out just how much indirect pain you can deliver with aoes and runes.
Every class so far has insane AoE :/, except maybe the monk.

OP, you seem to have learned nothing from Diablo 2.
Phase 1:
At first, every class will be equally played. Maybe some classes will get a few more players for the "coolness" factor. Like that preview with the dual x-bow lady advertising the Demon Hunter. That'll generate a few Demon Hunter players.
Phase 2:
People will discover which classes are easy to play, which classes aren't. At the rate the internet shortens this process, you can expect this phase to kick in 1 second after Phase 1 by the time Diablo 3 is released.
Easy classes experience increased playability
Note that this may change depending on how far people are in the game. After all some classes can have an easy start then a horribly, horribly, horribly painful end game. Not to mention people discovering exploits, the super cookie cutter builds, etc will affect this.
Phase 3 (or Phase 2, specialized):
People will discover which classes are optimal for farming/PvP/whatever ladder system Blizzard is going to implement. Again thanks to how the internet speeds this up, you can expect this to take effect a few seconds after Phase 2.
Optimal classes experience increased playability
Repeat for each expansion

People don't change. If Wizards are anything like Sorcs, they will still be highly played. Of course, whichever class is the most OP will end up the most popular...
I enjoy the sorc in d2 and fully intend to make the wizard my first d3 char. It will take some serious ownage to get me to switch to another class.

Who doesn't want to play a character who can slow time? On top of all the other nuclear spells the Wizard has, she looks to be a solid pick.

I played a sorcerer in Diablo, I played a sorceress for literally years in Diablo II, and I will sure as hell play the wizard in Diablo III. And even if it's gonna be the least played class, that's alright with me. But to be honest, I don't think that will be the case. Spell users in the diablo series were always a popular choice, and they will probably continue to be.

But otherwise, your post = true.
Its probably my first character. Not for nothing...the chars that interest me the least are monk and witch doctor. Barbarian is last. Only two I wanna try are demon hunter and wizard.

I dunno... It's a lot like the sorc and people like to stick with whats comfortable to them. I could see the Wizard being people's first pick until they get through the game and then experimenting later.

Assuming that statement is true the Barbarian would be least played.
I can see the wizard being the least played as the frist character, but once everone settles down into the game the wizard will be most played in arena with demon hunter and witch doctor following close behind.
I know I will have 5 characters each class.
Alot of people will probably pick something safe and (dare I say it) simple for a first character, but migrate to a higher risk/reward as they get more used to the game... So, possibly at first, I could see that. Eventually with any luck the characters will be distinct enough that people looking for different playstyles will enjoy different classes.
As an added thought, just because/if the character was similar to its D2 look-alike doesn't necessarily mean they won't enjoy playing it again. I for one will almost certainly be sticking with my current favourite.

I don't think they'll be underplayed at all. Many people coming over from d2 will gravitate towards the Wizard, since sorcs were so incredibly useful in d2 (for both mf and due to teleport primarily, as well as having incredibly useful skills like static).
I personally will be using the wizard as my first character for this exact reason. Sorc was always my favorite class in d2 and it will feel most comfortable for me starting out.

If the Monk and the WD are the classes you are least interested in, why then do you say that you will play the Barbarian last? that doesn't make any sense.

Wizard is going to be a popular character if only because people love this character type.
You are looking at the class from the narrow perspective as a Diablo 2 player wanting to play something different. I'm sure there are plenty of D2 players who would play the wizard if it was an exact copy of the sorceress. Also though it may come as a shock to some, I'm sure there will be a lot of people playing Diablo 3 who have never played Diablo 2, or played very little of Diablo 2.

As I was never into melee, Wiz is what I will start first.
I'm into melee, I'm making an Arcane warrior
I like the idea of a meele character whom can bust out a sick spell for crowd control or to chase down fleeing fallen, fight back rangers at their own game or even just deal some damage while a monster waddles its fat *** over to me
just like my d2 deathknight (melee/bone necro, passion wep for zeal, max bone armor synergies and bone spear)
I'm prolly gonna sink my points into the dimensional shard or blade or whatever it is, magic missle and some awesome aoe spell (maybe meteor?), slow time and maybe some def buffs like ice armor or diamond skin or whatever
def gonna take advantage of the weapon master trait (increase both melee AND spell damage for using a sword/mace/axe) and the + Vit trait (and + vit charms, I'm gonna need to be able to tank)

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. We are all part of the same decaying compost heap. /endFCquote
Back to the topic, all I have to say is... WHAT? IMO, the Sorc seems to be one of the more popular characters out there. I personally will be rolling Barb and then Monk/WD, but I keep hearing about people on the forums and podcasts saying that Wizard will be their main.
For one, Wizard is the typical Spelly/Casty type. No summoning, no melee bashing combos, pure ranged pewpews. This is a timeless RPG role that will attract Diablo veterans and newcomers alike.
Secondly, Wizards seem (so far, all knowledge given to us is pro-alpha) to be quite competant in PvP, which is another huge attraction to their class. Being ranged, having numerous CC effects (AoE Slow Time, AoE Frost Nova, more, other spells that have runed slowing properties), and having Teleport, are all huge boons to the Wizard class when PvP is considered.
You heard it here, I fully expect that more that with 5 classes, more than 20% will be Wizards.
AndyChrono

Wizard will be one of the most played, and almost certainly will be by far the best MF character and probably PvP as well. The reason for this is because of Teleport. Just imagine D2 without Enigma armors. Suddenly Sorcs the only good MF character, and in a brand new game MFing will be at a premium. Same thing with speed runs on bosses for leveling. With only 1 class able to Teleport, that class will be the best.
In other words, the Wizard will probably be both the fastest leveler as well as the best MF character. Furthermore, if there isn't a lot of absorb gear in the game, the Wizard's superior mobility will probably allow it to dominate PvP as well. That pretty much covers all the bases and will almost certainly make it the most popular class.

I also agree with many in here that it will be the MOST played instead of the least. If it is anything like the Sorc archetype everyone will have one. Even if it is not their "Main" character for many I would imagine it is the one that will be showing up the most on the character selection screen.

If enigma has taught us anything, people will play any character they can with teleport
It also taught us the importance of it and how any char inherently with it will have people gravitate toward it.

So far, most if not all characters appear to have a movement skill of some sort, unlike D2.
Off the top of my head:
Barb: Leap
Monk: Dash
Wizard: Teleport
WD: Spirit Walk
DH: Vault
What's interesting is that they'll all have a different limitation; Leap might cost fury, which means that the Barbarian will have to use other skills to fuel his faster movements, and while having to chose between leaping in to deal damage, or out to escape to safety. Teleport might have a heavy Arcane Power cost, which means that the Wizard will have to take breaks between streaks. Spirit Walk is likely to have a cooldown. Dash is limited by the fact that it's a combo skill, therefore, the second and third strikes won't be geared towards moving. Vault probably doesn't make the DH unhittable like other skills, and doesn't have a second function, additionally to not being able to go over walls or obstacles. Awesome!
Teleport is seemingly limited by walls. Monk combos with a movement component will move along all charges.
ElementEight
23-06-2011, 04:14
Teleport is seemingly limited by walls.
I recall seeing it go through a door, though. Walls, possibly. I hope, in fact. But, it shouldn't be that big of an issue, given that dungeons seem to be widly different than those in D2... linear versus rooms. We'll see.
Monk combos with a movement component will move along all charges.
Hrm. I guess it'll have shorter range, and an inability to go over monsters as a limiting factor, then.
Will the UI allow for keeping track of which combo you’re on? His combo skills are really exciting but I’m worried it’ll become too much of a chore playing the entire game counting out my attacks in sequences of 3. It would be unfortunate to unleash a 2nd tier hundred hand attack at range expecting to dash forward because you miscounted.
Bashiok: We don’t want tracking of combo stages to be so important that there needs to be a UI element to keep track. It should be that if you’re up on your game you’re tracking combo stages and it helps you get a slight edge, but if not you’re kicking *** anyway and will probably do fine. Also, we have made changes to skills so they’re consistent; such as making all stages capable of a dash. We don’t want the situation you’ve described to be an issue.Found it. I've no info on range limitation, but I imagine it to be similar to Charge in D2. Past weapon range, you'll charge in. Within range, you'll do your standard attack (or whatever the particular combo does).

I found the limitation of Vault - you have to target something, an enemy or a player, with it. Can't be used on open spaces. Which means that it can't be used to run away from something, just for juking around it.
Glad to see the skills, though fulfilling a similar role (movement) work differently, have different limits.

It doesn't say that in the wiki. I wrote that myself.
I've read conflicting reports from vault from Flux and other sources. You can watch the broll from last year for more evidence...the DH will stop when she hits an object, wall, or door. Like she's "snagged" on it. You can see her vaulting through a pack of monsters. Nowhere did I ever imply that you needed a target, though. I haven't played it, I was just going off of what I read from others, I haven't played D3 yet.
The Demon Hunter is assumed to be invulnerable during this time; however, she cannot Vault through doors, walls, or other obstacles.
Is exactly what I wrote.

Just clearing that up.
As for wizards being the least played class, hell, good. More loot for me. ;)
Be careful of what you wish for. Otherwise we will end up with like 3% of all players being Wizards and all our good loot becomes automatic horadric trash compactor fodder.

The absurdly rich will be grinding up incredibly expensive items for sake of higher artisan recipes. It's quite a nifty little item sink - throw in a few variable statistic enchants and perfectionists have twice as much work to do.

Just like d2, the most played class will be based on who can clear the best while being travel the quickest doing so. I'm very concerned about the barbarians balance to be able to keep pace, or the wizards 'return to mortality' so as to make it not overpowered in terms of clearing. I love barbs, but they just aren't optimal for a loot grinding game with their implementation in d2.

The wizard will be my first class. When I heard crits would be an attribute in itself, I wanted to try a build that specced for it. And since lighting and ice crits essentially stop time in their own way and there's the time bubble, I thought it would be cool to try to stop everything on screen. It'd be useful in team play too. I just hope that crits aren't useless against bosses.
I would've gone with a summoner first, but I pretty much don't like anything about the WD.

20-07-2011, 19:52
I have a feeling that the wizard will be a highly played class simply because of teleport; unless they completely revamp the notion of dungeon clearing for wealth...
Well, they are doing the revamp. And Teleport has been heavily nerfed, starting with having an 8 second cooldown.

21-07-2011, 06:49
Well, they are doing the revamp. And Teleport has been heavily nerfed, starting with having an 8 second cooldown.
If teleport is nerfed with an 8 second cooldown than all the other classes' mobility skills should be nerfed likewise...
So sayeth ze book of Cain! :D
Barbarian has a resource that forces him to fight to generate, so he doesn't need that. WD's skill I think already has a cooldown. Demon Hunter we will have to wait until they reveal its resource to speculate on the limitation.
Only suspect is Monk due to Dashing Strike having no cooldown/cost (it's a combo skill); but it might not have sufficient distance gain per cast to be a reliable "skip content" button.

I'll agree that the class seems boring and it's the one I'm least interested in playing right down there with the Barbarian.
Time and more info may certainly change that, and if you can spam low level skills with your quickly refilling arcane whatever...you may indeed become an invaluable team member with your varied magic damage... even though it seems every class may get a certain level of that with runes anyway.
Just get used to teleport! I fear wizards will have the durability of pork rinds.

The Wizard will almost certainly be the least or second least equipment dependent class in a game all about equipment. That alone means it's very likely they will be the most played. After all most summon necros don't even have teleport, and that doesn't stop them from being the go to farm class for anyone not looking to zip on by everything but the boss. So the fact D3 timered that skill doesn't really matter. Said summon necros even have a build named after them.
The Wizard will almost certainly be the least or second least equipment dependent class in a game all about equipment.
Diablo 3 design format is that all classes are strictly equipment dependent (unless this super reveal on Monday says otherwise). Spellcasters without +Spell Damage affix on their weapon are going to be as weak damage wise as melee fighters who don't equip a weapon.
Though, yes, it's probably easier to play Wizard/Demon Hunter/Witch Doctor with less equipment than melee because they are simply ranged classes with CC effects. They can potentially compensate for lack of defensive gear with player skill.

I think people is underestimating the power of the wizard's arcane resource. Since it will effectively be a rapidly regenerating energy, it encourages you to cast nearly continuously and mowing down foes.
The Monk, Demon Hunter and Barbarian all need to build up their resource before they can begin to become truly lethal.
While the Witch Doctor seems the slowest paced of all the classes, having the slowly regenerating mana and doing all his dot spells and pets for a slow, but inexorable advance.
The wizard caters to a breakneck pace of playing style with minimal downtime or needing build up powerlevels. And as already said, far less itemdependent from the get go. Which will make the wizard a great class to start out with to accumulate gold and items for other and more itembased classes to twink them out.
And as already said, far less itemdependent from the get go.
And, as already been said, no. They need +spell damage just like melee needs weapon damage.
I'll be glad if the Wizard is least played because it'll make my char more unique.
I don't think the Wizard is boring at all. I love defensive skills and the Wizard has a lot to play around with. I also think it's one of the most flexible classes in the game. You can be a glass cannon or a tank, and focus on crowd control or taking down single targets.
You can be a support character by focusing on slowing down enemies, aggroing them and moving away while your teammates move in for the kill. Slow Time is easily one of the coolest skills in the game, and all of the attacking spells I've seen look fun.

I've always been the ranged caster type in previous MMOs so I'm going Wizard. The Wizard may be one of the lesser played class in the beginning because I'm assuming most people will be busy trying out the new classes.
best spells graphic wise and highest seemingly skill capped playstyle... yea ill be playing the wizard.

All classes will be gear dependant.
So its wizard first and then witch doctor. Everything else is less appealing. I don't care if its least played or not. Who cares? Since when has that been a choice for playing? =)
Wizard has the most appeal to me from the gameplay videos so far. I will definately try all the classes eventually but thinking wizard main.
I never played Diablo but I played WoW as a Warlock so I definitely plan on playing the Wizard. Magic based classes just seem a lot more fun to me than melee and I like the variety of abilities that the Wizard has. I can't wait to teleport, slow time, freeze, AoE.
Right now I'm using my boyfriends login to post this. My name is Heather and I've never played a Diablo game before. Due to the recent "great flood" of information pertaining to the newest addition to the series of games I have however become increasingly interested in the game. I have played D&D and also quite a bit of WoW as well, due to my immense interest in spell casters and enchantment sort of characters I've been more inclined to play as a wizard.
Considering i have yet to play any Diablo game i suppose my opinion is somewhat biased, however i disagree with this thread. Now, just to clarify i am not a regular user of these forums so I'm not looking for any unneeded drama or bashing of my post. The only way to determine what the least played class would be is to wait and see. There really is no way to tell that out of a very LARGE group of people, which class any number of them would chose. Some may start off already wanting to play as a wizard, others may be deterred away from other classes for their own reasons. I have heard soooo many great things about this game so far ranging from the rune stones, gems, skills, passives and not to mention the awesome leaked videos from yesterday. There's been a lot of opportunities for me to see other classes and their abilities so i have reason to believe that maybe i haven't seen enough of every class to make a decision of which class id like to play. Even with the first few pieces of information i've seen about Diablo 3, the wizard class appealed most to me. It's all a matter of opinion. For example, the Barbarian is madd ill and has a great amount of skills ive seen thus far that make the class optimal, however i think that class would be the least played based on my insignificant opinion. -FIN

Even with the first few pieces of information i've seen about Diablo 3, the wizard class appealed most to me. It's all a matter of opinion. For example, the Barbarian is madd ill and has a great amount of skills ive seen thus far that make the class optimal, however i think that class would be the least played based on my insignificant opinion. -FIN
Well put lady of Swiggy. Now get an account here, so we can have some more people putting their minds and opinion with good words for discussion! :girly:
I think it's simply what your are made for as a gamer combined with some of your personal experiences. I have never played anything but the typical mage/wizard in any kind of game, where i had character classes to choose from. Seems its just the way i am wired, and i like it, because it gives me the most fun and playing experience out of a game, and after all that's all that mattes. That's why we play. If the fun is gone, the game is history! Addiction might have a factor here too, but best playing experience is still the major drive.
I really enjoy playing Casters so I will most likely roll a Wizard the first time around. I really like the Wizards spells I've seen so far. The other biggest factor for me is I enjoy the glass cannon feeling. I play DnD often and I love to play a solo Sorc because I enjoy the feeling of one hit and I'm more than likely dead.
