This was probably the coolest spell most people saw at [[BlizzCon2009]], just for the massive blood explosions it created. It was magnificently overpowered, working like an early D2C version of Corpse Explosion. Triggering the third stage of this one, then beating that monster down with [[Way of the Hundred Fists|100 Fists]], was almost certain to clear any room, killing every [[monster]] anywhere near [[melee]] range.
It will have to be [[nerf]]ed in the final game since this is just insane for such a low level skill.

[[Combo]] skills are essential for Monks. Combos do bonus damage, grant special properties (i.e. lightning damage and interrupt attacks on Hands of Lightning), and build up the [[Spirit]] needed to cast other skills. All combos have three stages, each progressively more powerful and flashier.

This skill was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2009]] as one of the originals when the [[Monk]] was unveiled.
::...blood explosion is the AE damaging effect of the skill that occurs when the subject dies. It occurs along with the death effect of whatever it’s applied to, and isn’t an increase of their normal death effect.
