Looks like Blizzard have announced the third class in Diablo III, the Wizard. Seems to be a mashup of the Sorceress and....well, I'm not quite sure what else, Assassin maybe? Judging from the video the wizard seems a LOT more badass than the sorceress ever did. First check out the Wizard trailer at Kotaku, then have a peek at the youtube vid below:
[Edit: was able to find an embeddable Wizard trailer]
[Here's some gameplay footage]
Looking at the trailer...I can't help but form an opinion clouded by all those people out there criticizing the art direction. The more stylized look is new...BUT I will say, I like the direction the gameplay seems to be going! These classes just look sick. And I guess the gameplay is what's most important in the end. Besides, will Lorigga actually play this one? Seeing as how he managed to get through the first two...and has waited many a year for this...he hopes to make that time...but we shall see.

New vid released demonstrating more Wizard abilities
Well, blink was an assassin ability. And that forcefield one...that's new. As well as the deathray!
Nice spin on the mage/caster class for hack 'n slash...not that I'm some authority on the matter. In fact, I have the least authority about games these days considering how much I play them. Guess I'm almost ready to study them in an academic environment where I think about games and manage not to play them. =P
