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.


Skill Rune Effects

  • None known.
The new version of the spell, which will have a different name.

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.

On August 21, 2009, during the Diablo 3 Monsters and Heroes panel in BlizzCon, the development team stated that they changed the Wizard's stone armor visually, since it was hard to notice on the class due to the wizards thin and sleek profile. It's assumed it works the same way, but they have also decided to change the name of the spell, which they haven't thought of yet. Visually, it has become a purple/light blue crystallized armor (see image on right).


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.
