'''Storm Armor''' is a Conjuration [[Wizard skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 17, shocking anyone in range of the Wizard.
==Skillrune Skill Rune Effects==
The following is a very quick summary. See the [[Storm Armor rune effects]] page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
==Skill Design==
This defensive skill shocks nearby enemies with [[lightning]] damage at seemingly irregular intervals. Also note that lightning [[critical hit]]s will [[stun]] enemies, which would make this a lot more useful as a defensive spell, if the [[Wizard]] has a high chance to land a critical hit with spells (specifically [[lightning]] spells).
==Synergies==
<blockquote>''...no one was bothering much with defensive skills at Blizzcon; not in the short time we had to play, and the small dungeon we had to clear out. I didn’t test out this one, but it sounds like a fairly interesting skill. It’s somewhat misleading in name, since the description doesn’t mention any defensive properties; just that it fires out lightning bolts at nearby enemies.</blockquote>
It was seen again at [[BlizzCon 2009]], but as a Tier V skill, it was too high level to try out. Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], allowing skills to unlock steadily from levels 1 to 30. Consequently, all skill levels were adjusted and Storm Armor became a level 13 skill.
===Beta===
<blockquote>''Just how the game defines “attackers” is not clear; I used this for a while and sometimes saw it hit monsters that I thought were not yet in melee range, while at other times it very slow to trigger even when I was getting swarmed. It’s hard to tell though, since the graphic for the shock it delivers to enemy monsters is very inadequate. It just gives them a little charge near the feet, almost like the Charged Bolt graphic from Diablo I. That’s very easy to miss if there’s a pack of enemies, much less if the Wizard is using lightning spells at the same time.</blockquote>
