Static Charge
Static Charge is a rune effect the Monk's Fists of Thunder skill.
Static Charge is enabled at level 30. It places a charge of static electricity on your target, causing them to take 37% weapon damage as Lightning for 5 seconds while the Monk attacks other enemies.
The trick of this is to hit the boss or a large target first, and then pummel other monsters in the area. The Monk deals full damage to everything he hits, plus 37% of damage to all monsters with the "charge" on them.
