'''Long Reach''' is a [[Monk]] Tier 1 [[monk skills|skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 2. Using this skill the Monk is able to hit multiple enemies with each attack, providing they are within fairly close range.<br> This is one of two [[combo]] skills available to the Monk in the first tier. Combo skills generate [[spirit]].

The Monk hits multiple targets in front of him, and also gains [[spirit]] points with every hit.
==Skill Design==
This [[skill]] first appeared at [[BlizzCon 2010]]. There are currently no visuals available for the skill, but a player report by ExtraCrispy described it playable in some detailthe demo. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/gaining-spirit-It hits multiple targets with-a-monk/] ::The first attack was an arm sweep that sent out a little orange shockwave in a linear path. The second attack was a roundhouse kick that fired a longer, golden shockwave, and the final attack was a backflip that made a ghostly image of a spearman. I imagine it was for keeping enemies away and hitting multiple foes with one attack. I used it more than [[Hands of Lightning]] because there was no delay between the click and the first attack, which made it much more pleasant to use. ::It seemed like the maximum reach was about 3 character lengths away from the monk.
[[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.
==[[Trait Synergies]]==
Various [[Monk traits]] augment this skill. (Since most Monk skills depend on base weapon damage and probably attack speed, traits which enhance those, and not the skill specifically, are also listed here.)
* [[Precision]]: Increase melee damage for each point in dexterity.
==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==* None No [[rune]] effects for Long Reach are known.
