The Monk expends spirit energy to damage monsters around him, healing himself and allies in the process.

Skill Design

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

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

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Note: The current trait list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game release.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

None known.

Development

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.)
