This is the first [[aura]] available to the Monk. Auras in [[Diablo II]] are passive skills that simply require being the chosen skill on the hotbar. Auras in [[Diablo III]] are active skills that need to be casted, and they offer a short-duration bonus upon casting that varies depending on the aura. It is unknown how long the duration of the aura is, if it needs to be re-casted to keep the effect, and if there are any cooldowns.
 
 
 
It is also currently unknown if there is a base [[health]] [[regeneration]] rate, or if this aura is one of the ways to have a regeneration rate to begin with. The prior entries to the Diablo series did not offer health regeneration outside of item modifiers.

The following is a very quick summary. See the Mantra of Healing rune effects page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

  • On May 23, 2012, the added healing bonus for 3 seconds after cast was nerfed from 4x to 2x normal. This figure is not yet reflected in-game tooltip menus.[1]

<skill class="Monk">Chant of Resonance</skill>


Development[edit | edit source]

Mantra of Healing (as Holy Aura) was first revealed at BlizzCon 2010 as a Tier 3 skill but had never been seen in gameplay.

Before the July 2011 Press Event, Holy Aura was renamed Mantra of Healing. Skill tiers were also removed, and Mantra of Healing became a level 14 skill.

Nerfed Post-Release[edit | edit source]

This skill was considerably overpowered upon release, and was nerfed in a patch a week after release.[2] That "hotfix" lowered the bonus healing for 3 seconds after the cast from 4x to 2x. Boon of Protection was also nerfed and eventually replaced by Boon of Inspiration.

The main problem with this and some other Monk defensive effects was the possibility of a party of four Monks repeatedly casting them in a coordinated cycle. This could provide essentially infinite protection, as the 3 second bonuses after each casting, rotated between four monks, effectively negated the 12 second cooldowns built into the skill recasting timers.


Beta[edit | edit source]

When the beta started in September 2011, Mantra of Healing remained a level 14 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13 in February 2012, and Mantra of Healing was classified as a Conviction skill and moved to level 21. For Beta Patch 14, the "Conviction" category was renamed "Mantras" and Mantra of Healing was bumped up to level 26.
