After watching pretty much all the videos on Neverwinter something really stuck out to me, and that's the wizards attack stance. He walks like a zombie with a corn cob in his butt for one. Next, I'm not sure what the main attack he was using in the video was, but he looked like Gambit from X-men tossing cards from a deck at enemies. I just wanted to comment on that because it's really been bugging me and wondered if anyone else finds this bothersome.
I agree with the OP. I am not a huge fan of the combat stance of the Wizard. It's not every aspect of the stand but something seems off with the hands being up like they are, kinda looks more like they are fighting with some type of martial art look. I even saw one screenshot that made him look like like he came out of a Jet Li movie LOL.

I'll play the game regardless but if they want feedback on elements of the game then that's my honest opinion on the stance.

    His at rest stance is even worse....like something out of a bad chopsake flick....Cryptic really really needs to go back to the drawing board on this.

    I can't disagree with this, and you can say the same for the rogue running and hopping up and down.
    I'm truly hoping this is one of those things that can still be changed without more delays.

    I was supporting it...right up to the point I demoed it. Then it's "why is he holding two fingers up like that? No, wizards don't focus between spell powers in 4E." No further aloud comment but my mind was changed that day.

    Anyway it seems to me that such a wizard should have lost his hand holding it for all the time he "rests" in the air. Generally however you're right the attack stance (tossing magic missles like some... darts?) doesn't seem good at all.
