Blur is a passive skill unlocked for the Wizard at Level 25. It reduces the damage taken from melee attacks.
Lore
A common practice of some Wizards is to magically accelerate their body chemistry to the point where they have cat-like reflexes, and the ability to dodge or roll with most attacks.
Design
Decreases melee damage taken by 20%.
Most Wizards wish to kill from a distance and avoid ever taking melee damage. As such this passive seems more designed for emergency use, or for a battle mage.
Level Requirement
- Wizard: level 25
Synergies
No synergies with any active skills or other passive skills are known.
Development
Passive skills have had a long and storied history. When Diablo III debuted at the WWI 2008, skill trees included passive skills, much like in Diablo II. In 2010, it was announced that passive skills had been renamed traits and separated out from active skills. At the July 2011 Press Event, Blizzard announced that passive skills were once again in the game, replacing the traits system. Like many passive skills, Blur was moved directly from a trait of the same name when traits were changed back to passive skills in early 2011. Neither the name nor the function changed, though the stats may have been tweaked slightly. When Blur first appeared, it was a level 10 passive, but for the beta, it was moved to level 25.
- Blur (trait) - As a trait.
See the traits page for more details on previous versions of this and many other passive skills.
