Diablo 3's Wizard is basically that guy you ignore photo

Centuries ago, Blizzard silently revealed another scrap of concept art for a character set to be playable in Diablo III: the male wizard. You'll notice he's a gruff looking dude and obviously a fan of ":wumpscut:" and "Slick Idiot," and Hot Topic. We would put money on the fact that he liked to sit in corners and cry during his high school years, but something tells us eating a magic missile isn't a pleasant experience.

In case you have kept on top of this stuff, Blizzard has also revealed the female wizard, the female and male Barbarian, as well as the male and female Monk. Dibs on the Barbarian. Dude might not have much of a shirt like the male Wizard, but he looks a whole lot meaner, nastier. We like those attributes in our RPG dudes.

The female barbarian looks like Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden, circa 1983. Like, exactly. Except with boobs.

Please don't group Hot Topic with good industrial music, that's just wrong.

I'm sure all of the classes will look badass once they're geared up nicely.

Now, all I'm waiting for is an rogue/amazon/archer class to come along and fill the void for remaining class. Considering the choice of sexes in this game, I'm pretty sure we can rule out Rogue/Amazon this time around. It would be awesome if there were an archer/thief combo class. I'd love to see stealth combat explored more in the vein of the D2 Assassin!

He looks just like you, Brad! He's got abs, triceps, biceps, quads, and an indifferent look towards everyone else around him: Brad. Nicholson.

I'm still holding out for the last class (or one that they add with the expansions) will be some race of demons that for whatever reason turned on Diablo or whichever of the seven evils they serve. NPC's could treat them like they used to treat Necromancers.

Hm, I find myself drawn to the female Monk, despite her ridiculous WoW-esque shoulder pads. Well, either way, punching the sh*t out of things FTW.

@SnatchTease

I read your first comment as "I'd take an ancient old-ass Merkin..." which if you know what a merkin is, makes it pretty funny.

D3 can't come soon enough. Give me more PHAT LOOTZ!! I love the character art, something about it just kind of fits for D3 I think. No one really wants to look at Diablo 2 look alikes.

My monk is going to be an unstoppable force. It is my destiny.

Uh. Anybody else feel like Wizard is dry and boring looking compared to the other class videos?

I sent this to a bunch of people, who were all mightily impressed that you put the colons in ":wumpscut:"

Throwing :wumpscut under the emo bus was not cool, I bet that will make the emo wizard pictured above cry some more.

Actually, I kind of liked the images.
The male barb really looks like a big badass muthafucker.
Also, the female barb is HOT!

I was going to be a Wizard, but looking this hipsterish, I'll go with Witch Doctor...

I wish they had Paladins back, dual wielding looks stupid.

Wait, what? This guy doesn't look emo or hipster at all.

Guy looks like a heavy metal guy before Judas Priest introduced studded leather as the metal stage costume of choice. Seriously, this guy looks a lot more like hard rock/70s metal than a hipster dick.

Look, just because the first person in a post say "this guy looks X" does not make is so.

Here is a handy reference guide so you can spot the differences between emo/scene/hipster and early 70s metal fashion (its tricky, but you'll get it eventually):

Hipster:


Emo:


The Who:


Led Zeppelin:


Black Sabbath:

Pheee, leave it to Led Zep to slack off and not work:

So yeah, my argument is pretty much that this wizard guy looks a hell of a lot more like Jimmy Page than anything google image spits out for 'emo fashion" or 'hipster'. Try less blindly agreeing next time.

Oh yeah, and BOOM! Triple post!

Thanks for making such a cool project. I've been checking the site for the Windows version, but I never left a comment about it. I know you are working hard and doing it for free so you shouldn't feel rushed or anything.

Diablo shots for games that people want play, as blizzard is doing, and showing screen shots of games you plan to cut content from and effectively turn into watered down shit, a la lionhead and Peter Molyneux.Hacked Games
