'''Seven Sided Strike''' is a ~~Spirit Spending~~ Focus [[Monk skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 2417. The Monk uses [[holy]] [[magic]] to attack multiple enemies at once.

~~This is one of the Monk's [[signature skills]].~~ <br><br><br>__TOC__

==Background==

[[File:Monk_-_Seven_Sided_Strike02.jpg|thumb|200px~~|right~~|Seven Sided Strike in action.]]The [[Monk]] transcends, calling the holy Light to gain supernatural speed, hitting multiple foes in the ~~timespace~~ span of a second.

==Skill Rune Effects==The following is a very quick ~~list~~summary. See the [[Seven Sided Strike rune effects]] page for a more thorough ~~summary~~ description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

A very fun [[skill]]. Much like a finishing move in a fighter. [[Jay Wilson]] described it as "Human Chain Lightning."

~~The Monk teleports to his target~~===Video===A video of Seven Sided Strike can be seen below, ~~Dragon Flight style, and commences to strike multiple times. As best I could tell, the Monk was invulnerable, or perhaps intangible, during this attack. He's not visible except as flashing series~~ courtesy of ~~human shapes, all shining gold and two-dimensional~~[http://www. ~~You can see a screenshot in this article, or see it featured in the Blizzcon B-roll gameplay footage~~youtube. ~~The evolution of~~ com/Diablo3Inc the ~~skill was described in detail during the Monk design panel as well~~DiabloInc You Tube channel].

The hits always seemed to land, and did considerable damage in total. If this one was cast on an empty space, the monk would do three flashing hits before stopping. He’d also stop short of 6 if the target died along the way. If there were multiple targets in the area, he seemed to select targets randomly, hitting each of them some number of times out of his total of 6.<youtube>QOag_JA18ro</youtube>

==Synergies==

==Development==

[[File:Monk-7-sided-strike01.jpg|thumb|350px|Seven Sided Strike in action.]]

'''Seven Sided Strike''' was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2009]] as one of the originals when the [[Monk]] was unveiled. [[Flux]] was able to try it in the gameplay demo:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/full-monk-skill-tree-discussion-and-status/]

<blockquote>''This one was best used on single or double targets, ideally a boss that needed finishing off, especially a teleporter or another elusive one, since all the hits would go to it in rapid succession, and hit it no matter how it squirmed.</blockquote>

===Beta===Skill tiers were removed ~~for~~ shortly before the [[~~July 2011 Press Event~~beta]]started in September 2011, and Seven Sided Strike became a level 24 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, and Seven Sided Strike was classified as a Focus skill and moved to level 19. For [[Beta Patch 14]], it was moved to level 17.
