Temporal Flux

Temporal Flux is a passive skill available exclusively to the Wizard. It adds a slowing effect to enemies who she hits for Arcane spell damage.

Lore

Not known yet.

Design

When an enemy takes damage from an Arcane skill, its speed is reduced by 24% for 4 seconds.

This seems like a hugely useful skill for any Wizard who uses much Arcane damage. Arcane's critical strike effect is silence, so having a way to also slow enemies with that spell type would be very effective.

Level Requirement

• Wizard: level 21

Synergies

The Wizard's known Arcane spells are:

• Magic Missile
• Arcane Orb
• Energy Twister
• Disintegrate
• Arcane Torrent

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, Temporal Flux 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.
