==Skill Design==
This combo [[skillFile:Monk-100-hands01.jpg|thumb|350px|The Monk dashes towards his target.]] is a fast series of blows that strikes multiple targets with the third attack.{{Combo history notes}}
The attack has three phases. The first attack is ===Video===A video of Way of the Hundred Fists (as a dashing attackcombo) can be seen below, the second is a flurry courtesy of blows, and [http://www.youtube.com/Diablo3Inc the third an explosive attack that damages additional nearby targetsDiablo.IncGamers.com You Tube channel].
[[Combo]] skills are the cornerstone 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.<youtube>upitIgNVV3Y</youtube>

<blockquote>''It was unnecessary, as well as Hands of Lightning was doing, but I wanted to compare the two. I hadn’t really noticed the skill levels at that point, and soon regretted my choice, since rank one Hundred Fists wasn’t nearly as effective as rank five HoL. Hundred Fists was more fun and flashier, with the Superman dashing first punch, and the ability to hit multiple enemies at once, but with just one point the damage was considerably lower than Hands of Lightning.</blockquote>
===Beta===Skill tiers were removed for shortly before the [[July 2011 Press Eventbeta]]started in September 2011, and Way of the Hundred Fists became a level 21 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, and Way of the Hundred Fists was classified as a Techniques skill and moved to level 27. For [[beta Patch 14]], it was re-classified as a Primary skill, dropped to level 15, and [[buff]]ed a bit.
