The Wizard weaves herself with electric energies that discharge if an enemy attacks her.
Skill Design
This spell looks to be under construction, with no duration listed. Also note that lightning critical hits will stun enemies, which would make this a lot more useful as a defensive spell, if the Wizard has a high chance to land a critical hit with spells (specifically lightning spells).
Skill Rank Table
- Rank 1: 1-8 lightning damage.
Synergies
- No synergies with any of the passive skills are yet known.
Skill Rune Effects
- No rune effects for Storm Armor are known.
Development
Storm Armor was first shown at BlizzCon 2008 when the Wizard debuted. Back then, it was a Tier II skill in the Storm Skill Tree, and playable in the demo. However, it wasn't a popular choice; Flux explained why:[1]
...no one was bothering much with defensive skills at Blizzcon; not in the short time we had to play, and the small dungeon we had to clear out. I didn’t test out this one, but it sounds like a fairly interesting skill. It’s somewhat misleading in name, since the description doesn’t mention any defensive properties; just that it fires out lightning bolts at nearby enemies.
It was seen again at BlizzCon 2009, but as a Tier V skill, so it was too high level to try out. Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Storm Armor became a level 13 skill.
