Skill Design[edit | edit source]

This skill first appeared at BlizzCon 2010. There are currently no visuals available for the skill, and no reports on it from demo players. It was revealed in the skill tree. This is the second aura available to the monk. This aura is interesting in that it does not increase the damage the player or his party inflicts like Diablo II's Might, but it increases the damage that enemies take. Since it is a flat rate, this aura is likely to be highly useful in Nightmare and Hell difficulties where the monsters may have high resistances to different types of damage.

This is one of the auras available to the Monk. Auras in Diablo II are passive skills that simply require being the chosen skill on the hotbar. Auras in Diablo III are active skills that need to be cast, and they offer a short-duration bonus upon casting that varies depending on the aura. It is unknown how long the duration of the aura is, if it needs to be re-cast to keep the effect, and if there are any cooldowns.
