Skill Design

One of the many shielding skills, all of different types, the Wizard has at her possession. Works very well with Damage Resistance and Weapon Mastery to create a sort of melee Wizard.

Skill Rank Table

Put a table of the skill rank and damage/mana/fury per rank.

Rank 1: Shield yourself with rock and stone absorbing 30 damage.

Only Rank 1 is currently known.

Synergies

There are no direct synergies, but Damage Resistance and Weapon Mastery work very well with this spell.

None known.

Development

Spell was first shown at BlizzCon 2008 when the Wizard was unveiled. It's still assumed to be available as of 6 August 2009.

Trivia

Stone Skin is one of the new Diablo spells, together with Magic Missile and Disintegrate who seems to be directly inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons pen and paper roleplaying game.
