To be fair. Magic is, I imagine, a hella fun thing. Even when I was super young, playing Daiblo II with my dad for the first time, I always chose the wizard class. Is it smart to spam fire spells in a forest? Probably not. But it sure as hell looks fun.
Blizzard was my favorite spell in Diablo II. I'd spam that thing over and over. Realistically, probably not the most environmentally friendly thing to do. But I didn't care. Haha, ice go brrr.
(When Diablo III came out, I was disappointed in how wimpy blizzard looked, but I still enjoy using it. My favorite spell in the game is meteor. I have my paragon wizard's abilities set around the meteor spell that drains all your mana for a mega blast of damage. It's hilarious, it's like your enemies evaporate right in front of you. One minute they're there, and the next they're dead.)
