Skill Design[edit | edit source]

This skill first appeared at BlizzCon 2010; in the demo, it was one of the skills the Monk already had points in. There are currently no visuals available for the skill.

Skill Rank Table[edit | edit source]

Rank 2: Creates a blast of holy energy that heals the Monk and nearby allies for 38-68 health and damages enemies for 15-30 holy damage. Costs 25 Spirit.

Synergies[edit | edit source]

Some Monk traits grant bonuses to this skill.

Healer: Increases amount of health healed by healing skills.

Note: The current trait list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game release.

Skill Rune Effects[edit | edit source]

No rune effects for Circle of Wrath are known.

Development[edit | edit source]

Circle of Wrath was first revealed at BlizzCon 2010. Flux reported on using this skill:[1]

At level 2 in the early going, it was fairly devastating. Almost all regular monsters would die in one blast of this, so I soon learned to save it for use when I was in range of at least half a dozen enemies. Just the damage from it was impressive and time-saving, but the fact that it healed as well was just silly. I thought it was overpowered in practice, since I was never below 80% hit points with my Monk, thanks entirely to this skill. (And the fact that I killed all of the monsters before they had a chance to do much more than raise their crude implements.)
