[[File:Monk-exploding-palm.jpg|thumb|200px|Exploding Palm in action.]]'''Exploding Palm''' (or EP) is a Techniques [[Monk skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 13. The Monk inflicts internal damage that can cause a causes the target to take damage over time, and to explodedealing huge damage to nearby enemies if it dies while the [[DoT]] is in effect. * An earlier version of this skill had a much more complicated operation. For details, see: [[Exploding Palm (Feb 2012)]]. ==Reaper of Souls Nerf==
During [[D3v]] and the early months of [[RoS]], this skill had a [[Crushing Blow]] type effect, so that a monster that died while marked by the EP would explode and deal a % of the monster's maximum hit points to all nearby enemies. This was a hugely-powerful ability which Blizzard came to feel was overpowered at the highest difficulty levels, especially during [[Patch 2.1]] testing when [[Greater Rifts]] were enabled, and Monks were able to complete GR level 100 by exploiting the massive percentage-based damage of EP.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/monk-exploding-palm-reworked]
