Monk damaging many foes.

As part of a Monk's training they strive to become more than just a fighter, focusing their mental energies to enhance combat speed.

Skill Design

This one was a blast to use, and was about the most fun Monk skill. It's just straight out of an action movie, or some game like Tekken 3. The Monk does a short dash to the first punch, throws a flurry of blows for the second stage, and then blasts an explosive, AoE attack. It's an excellent crowd killer, and when used on a monster marked with the Explosive Palm 3rd stage, it's almost certain to clear the room. [1]
