'''Diamond Skin''' is a Tier 4 [[skill]] unlocked for the [[Wizard]] at level 10, protecting the caster from incoming damage.
The spell description as captured at Blizzcon 2010 reads:
:Turns the Wizard's skin to diamond for x seconds absorbing up to y damage from incoming attacks.
Below is a first capture of a ==Background=={{Skillbox|game= Diablo III|portrait= Tornado.jpg<!-- |portrait-width= -->|active= Active|name= Diamond Skin|ranks= 5|user= Wizard|tree= none|description= Turns the Wizard using 's skin to diamond for x seconds absorbing up to y damage from incoming attacks. |type= Defensive|quantity= 10 damage/second|effect= Circular [[Diamond SkinAoE]] in a newly introduced |school= Unknown|resource= [[Battle ArenaArcane Power]].|cost= Unknown|cast-time= Instant|duration= 10 sec|cooldown= 10 sec<!-- |synergies= Link them --><!-- |req= Link it --><!-- |prereq= Link it --><!-- |catexclude= --> <!-- ONLY USE THIS IF THE SKILL IS FAN SKILL OR ARCHIVED -->}}
Diamond skin absorbs all types incoming damage. The skill expires after the duration runs out, or it absorbs the maximum possible damage. There is a substantial cool down before it can be recast, and the short duration makes it wise to cast just before damage is to be taken.

==Trait Bonuses==
None yet known.
 
 
==Runestone Effects==
Wizards in the PvP Arena gained 50% more damage absorption from a [[Runestone]] in the 2010 Blizzcon demo. It's not known which rune granted this bonus.
 
 
==Development==
 
This skill started off as [[Iron Skin]] but the developers wanted a more attractive visual, and a snazzy sounding name, and it evolved into Diamond Skin.
