What do Wizard fans think of the new gameplay footage released through GameTrailers?

I couldn't make out the Arcane Orb stats at about 00:09 of the first video. There seems to be two stats on it. First is 11-16 and the second reads 1-2 something damage or is that duration? It's mana 7 but I'm not sure what level it is.

Do you think the 'Ice Armor' buff he has is from a shrine or self inflicted? The 'Fortune' one is from the shrine he has just passed as I can see the word Fortune in the description (despite how blurred it is) but not sure about the Ice Armor.

Fortune = Your chance to find magic igems and gold is greatly increased.

Ice Armor = Slows movement and attack of enemies that attack you.|||Things are looking good. It seems the animations for charged bolt, spectral blade, and arcane orb have been improved. They probably all have. Thinking the ice armor is probably a new storm skill.|||The male wizard looks a lot more neat than I thought he would. That outfit was pretty awesome, and the animation that went along with the flowing cloth was excellent.|||I LOVE the male Wizard.

Oh, and I did find an interesting thing:

Did he just dual-wield both a dagger and an Orb? (after something like half of the movie)|||I thought they frowned upon shrines from an earlier Blizzard quote.|||Maybe they are buffs by quest givers? Either as an additional reward or a helping boost at the start of a quest?

Also, Arcane Orb looks majestic.|||When the video first began to play I'll admit I thought Paladin! Not sure if I was happy or fed up at that point - 'course then I settled down once the skills started and I realised it was the Wizard.|||Quote:

They weren't happy with most shrines in D2. Like the stamina shrine, has anyone ever made good use of it? Shrines will probably return in a better way.|||Pitty there isn't any sound.

The animations look cool and so does the environment with the wind and flags.|||Disappointed we couldn't see the top of the screen either to see the monster names. But it's better than a poke in the eye so I won't moan.
