The Monk use holy energy to create a protected region on the ground for a few seconds that can not be bypassed by enemies.


Skill Design

There was no need for additional defence at any point during the BlizzCon 2009 demo, so this spell isn't overly tested yet, since it wasn't very necessary. At least not for the (intentionally) overpowered Monk.

When cast, this skill creates a large rune on the ground, with a Stop Time-like bubble shield in the middle on which stands the Monk. It appeared to be impermeable to melee attackers; the Fallen I used it against couldn't penetrate, at lest. They could reach through it, though. A Fallen Overseer had enough range to whack me with his improvised polearm, as I stood in the center, immediately after casting it. Regular Fallen however, could not, and just stood ringed around the exterior, waiting their turn.

I didn’t try it against bosses or flying enemies, and there were very few projectile enemies in the BlizzCon build to test that aspect of it against. And it was never necessary, since I was always better off attacking than standing back on defense, with the Monk.

Development

This skill was first shown at BlizzCon 2009 as one of the originals when the Monk was unveiled. The whole idea behind this spell is to make life a little easier for the relatively frail Monk.
