Back when only eight of the [[Monk skill|Monk's skills]] had been revealed at Blizzcon 2009, Jay Wilson gave some hints about what other powers the character was going to demonstrate. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-exclusive-full-transcript/]
::''Diii.net: We saw eight Monk skills at BlizzCon. All were melee offensive or defensive. Can you give us some idea of what other types of skills the character will have at his disposal?''
::'''Jay Wilson:''' Most of the Monk’s skills will focus on combat skills and attacks, along with his various escape skills. And we talked at Blizzcon that we’re likely to put some defensive and supportive abilities on him. Possibly [[Auras]]. We’ve not done the next round of skills on him yet so we’re not exactly sure.
The [[Monk skill]] trees as revealed at [[BlizzCon 2009]] were clearly works in progress, with temporary names and the skills assigned to the trees at random. There were no prerequisites or synergies of any kind, and it's highly likely the Monk's skill layout will be entirely different when we're next given a look at them.
