Considering Blizzcon is going on, I'd assume it is official.

is this leaked or official?"

Official. BlizzCon is on at the moment.

Ultra cool, though I'm disappointed that the wizards aren't sporting bright blue pointy hats with stars on them. Hopefully something like that will be loot. I will play a wizard and wear it forever.

They look pretty cool. I might actually enjoy playing one considering how awesome he looks. Have they updated their class section on the Diablo 3 website?

Edit: Nope, they haven't yet.

What's with Mr. Invisible over on the left?
Also, Blizzard have outdone themselves. I couldn't imagine them designing a hotter character than the Sorceress.

I doubt anyone at Blizzard is at the offices during BlizzCon."

That would make it extra awesome if a WoW server were to explode. Imagine the chaos, and no one to fix it."

There's a gameplay video of the Wizard here: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/10/watch-diablo-3s-wizard/

Awesome.  I can't wait to get my hands on this game.  I was a huge Diablo 2 nut back a few years ago, and now have the craving to play it again.

That's some badass mother-fucking shit right there.

Ohhh, looks pretty sweet. Great gameplay video.

How is this not on the front page!?!?  Pure unadulterated badassery!

Edited my last post to contain the video within it.

Oh no! they are replacing the old clases? shit. I had a level 76 sorc on bnet and a 65 barb and like 5x necro... I liked the sorc. Oh well I guess its just cooler so I can say"Blue wizard needs food badly!" lol

hmmm, sounds pretty cool. Great news that old skills are making a come back in this class.I loved sorc, so naturally this looks like the class I'll be starting with.

Not a game I"m usually interested in

but damn, I need a new computer.

That not at all surprising.  Of course they were going to have the mage-like dude.  I still want to know how the skill trees are going to work in this game.  I just hope it makes more sense than the old, "You can invest more than one point into low level skills....but don't."  I'm pretty sure it will, but I'm curious as to what it's going to be.

This is just a rip of the Sorceress, i would have expected some more originality from Blizz.

SPOILERS: It's impossible to come up with original fantasy-esque characters.
Name me an idea for an original class. Name me one."

LOL!!! Of course its similar to the Sorceress, would you have preferred Diablo 3 to be without a magic-weilding class for the purposes of 'originality'? The Wizard looks amazing, I love the look of the spells with the new engine."

Not sure why they needed to call it a Wizard.  Don't think anyone would have made a stink if  Blizz just changed her spells.  I like the new spells, just hope they change the sound for the lighting attack, it seems to week.

"

I would have personally preferred them call it the Sorcerer / Sorceress. Just sounds cooler in my opinion.
