This is the last aura available to the Monk. Auras in Diablo II are passive skills that simply require being the chosen skill on the hotbar. Auras in Diablo III are active skills that need to be casted, and they offer a short-duration bonus upon casting that varies depending on the aura. It is unknown how long the duration of the aura is, if it needs to be re-casted to keep the effect, and if there are any cooldowns.
