Skill Design
This one was a blast to use, and was about the most fun Monk skill. It's just straight out of an action movie, or some game like Tekken 3. The Monk does a short dash to the first punch, throws a flurry of blows for the second stage, and then blasts an explosive, AoE attack. It's an excellent crowd killer, and when used on a monster marked with the Explosive Palm 3rd stage, it's almost certain to clear the room. [1]

Synergies
Various Monk traits augument this skill.(Since most Monk skills depend on base weapon damage and probably attack speed, traits which enhance those, and not the skill specifically, are also listed here)

Intimidation :Increases damage done and reduces vendor costs.
Cruelty :Increases chance of critical strikes.
Weak Spot :Increases critical strike damage.

Frenzied attacks:Increases chance of critical strikes as well as their damage.

Runestone Effects
None are yet known. It's easy to envision the Crimson rune adding damage, and the Golden rune increasing Spirit generated, but it's unclear what the Indigo, Alabaster, or Obsidian runes will do.
Development
This skill was first shown at BlizzCon 2009 as one of the originals when the Monk was unveiled.
