The Monk summons light from the source of all light, and unleashes it upon opponents, blinding them for a few seconds, making them very bad at attacking him.

Skill Design[edit | edit source]

A useful war cry-like attack, this one had a substantial radius, and blinded every non-boss in the area, stopping them in their tracks. I used this against every charge of Fallen Imps (performed when a Fallen Overseer got a mob of 6-12 amped up all at once). No, it wasn't really necessary, since a bunch of Imps were essentially walking health orbs/combo power-ups, but it was sometimes fun to pretend that strategy was required.[1]

Skill Rank Table[edit | edit source]

Rank 1: Blind for 2-4 sec, 40% less chance to hit for 15 mana. (presumed)
Rank 2: Blind for 3-5 sec, 42% less chance to hit for 15 mana.
Rank 3: Blind for 4-6 sec, 44% less chance to hit for 15 mana.
Rank 4: Blind for 6-7 sec, 46% less chance to hit for 15 mana. (presumed)
Rank 5: Blind for 7-8 sec, 48% less chance to hit for 15 mana. (presumed)

Synergies[edit | edit source]

None known.

Skill Rune Effects[edit | edit source]

Development[edit | edit source]

This skill was first shown at BlizzCon 2009 as one of the originals when the Monk was unveiled. It was renamed to Blinding Flash in the game demo that was presented at BlizzCon 2010.
