The Monk swings his staff so fast and with such precision he is able to deflect any incoming missiles, and dodge incoming attacks.
Skill DesignEdit
Fallen Shaman were fairly common in the surface desert areas, but they seldom hurled Fireballs (they were quite quick to resurrect dead Imps,though). There were lots of Dark Cultists, but only the foot soldiers and the "transform into a demon" types. None of the spell castinging mage types. And while there were some weird insect-like mages in the dungeons below the desert, they were infrequently encountered and were always behind a mob of melee enemies, so I never had time to stop beating down the foot soldiers just to try to reflect the (easily avoided) projectiles.
The spell does have a cool animation, at least. The Monk stands still and does a simple staff twirl, while a large rune appears below his feet.
