Deadly Reach is a Primary Monk skill unlocked at Level 3. It projects lines of force in front of the Monk, dealing damage to everything in its (short) range. Every third hit extends its range.
Contents
Background
The Monk punches the air hard enough to create a shock wave that damage all enemies in its path.
Skill Rune Effects
The following is a very quick summary. See the Deadly Reach rune effects page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
| Name | Level | Description |
|---|
<skill class="Monk">Deadly Reach</skill> <skill class="Monk" rune="Piercing Trident">Deadly Reach</skill> <skill class="Monk" rune="Keen Eye">Deadly Reach</skill> <skill class="Monk" rune="Scattered Blows">Deadly Reach</skill> <skill class="Monk" rune="Strike from Beyond">Deadly Reach</skill> <skill class="Monk" rune="Foresight">Deadly Reach</skill>
Skill Design
During the beta, all the skills previously known as combos were simplified down so much that only three of them (Fists of Thunder, Deadly Reach, and Crippling Wave) still contain any semblance of combo functionality. These three skills now provide simply an additional effect on every third strike, while the others (Way of the Hundred Fists, Exploding Palm, and Sweeping Wind) now have a single function on every strike. Combos previously consisted of: the normal spell attack on the first strike; a stronger attack on the second; and on the third, an even stronger attack coupled with an additional effect.
Synergies
The following Monk passives provide a benefit to Deadly Reach, runed or not:
| Name | Level | Description |
|---|
<skill class="Monk">Resolve</skill> <skill subcat="Spirit Generator" class="Monk">Combination Strike</skill>
Development
Deadly Reach was first seen at the July 2011 Press Event (when skill tiers were removed), as a level 5 skill. Unfortunately, no information about the skill's function was then available.
Beta
The beta started in September 2011, and Deadly Reach became a level 4 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13 in February 2012, and Deadly Reach was classified as a Primary skill and moved to level 3. For Beta Patch 14, it was buffed a bit.
Media
Deadly Reach can be seen in action on video here:
