| Strike a target for X% weapon damage. Every third hit creates a vortex of air that surrounds you. The vortex of air lasts X seconds and deals X% weapon damage per second to all enemies within X yards. This vortex effect can stack up to X times for a total of X% weapon damage per second to nearby enemies. Generates X Spirit per attack. | |
| Type: | Combo/AoE Damage |
| Resource Use: | Generates Spirit |
| Alabaster rune: | A powerful sandstorm billows with the monk's attacks, damaging enemies and knocking them back. |
| Crimson rune: | A flurry of blades increases Sweeping Wind's damage. |
| Golden rune: | Increases Spirit regeneration. |
| Indigo rune: | Expands the area of effect and strikes enemies with additional fire-based attacks. |
| Obsidian rune: | A persistent whirlwind surrounds the monk, dealing damage to any foes that come into contact. |
Falling back on years of vigorous training, the Monk sweeps his weapon quickly around himself, damaging multiple enemies at a time.
Skill Design
This skill first appeared at BlizzCon 2010.
Combo skills are essential for Monks. Combos do bonus damage, grant special properties (i.e. lightning damage and interrupt attacks on Hands of Lightning), and build up the Spirit needed to cast other skills. All combos have three stages, each progressively more powerful and flashier.
Skill Rank Table
Rank 1: The Monk sweeps his weapon in a circle, forming a barrier of force that deals X% weapon damage to every enemy hit. Can hit enemies multiple times.
Synergies
- No synergies with any of the passive skills are yet known.

- Alabaster Rune - A powerful sandstorm billows with the monk's attacks, damaging enemies and knocking them back.

The video below demonstrates these runes' effects.
