This [[skill]] first appeared at [[BlizzCon 2010]]. As it is a first tier spell, it was playable in the demo.<br><br>
The attack has three phases. Each strike deals X% weapon damage as lightning damage, varying by rank and other factors, which may be valuable for later difficulty settings with enemies who are [[resist]]ant to [[physical]] damage. Each strike also has a chance to interrupt the enemy being struck.<br><br>
==Skill Rank Table==
* '''Rank 1:''' Unleashes a series of increasingly powerful lightning infused punches that deal X% weapon damage as lightning damage, and has a higher chance than normal to [[interrupt]] enemy attacks..
==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==
* None known.

This skill was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2010]]. Blascid reports on using the skill at Blizzcon<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzcon-2010-hand-on-blascid/ BlizzCon 2010 Hands On Blascid] - Incgamers 25/10/10</ref>:<br>
<blockquote>In the Monks case, with her actual lightning fist skill (I do not remember the name), the first hit would be a claw sweep with lightning damage, the second one granted more lightning damage with more lightning graphics, and the third hit was a lightning blast that created a nice AOE arc. (The third move’s animation {Monk’s move and spell effect} reminded me of how Ryu and Ken’s Hadouken looked in Street Fighter 2 {Sorry, I have not played any more recent than that) if your opponent was right in front of you.) </blockquote><br><br>
