[[Image:Skill-tree-blizzcon09-monkA-muldric.jpg|frame|<noinclude>The '''Skill Tree A as of [[BlizzCon 2009]].]]This tree had 4 of the 8 skills, with ''' is a level 5, 10, and two 15s. All the skills in the 1, 5, and 10 tiers had points invested in them already, so they could be used from the very start. There were only 2 level 15 [[Monk]] skills in the demo, the only two Monk skills without points already in them skill tree that focus on the demo character, and both were in this tree. Both were fairly cool to use, too, though 100 Fists was the clear champ of the twomind over body.<br>

The Monk hits so fast and was overpowered for the Blizzcon build that needing to dodge or getting your hits interrupted wasn’t a real major problem.<br> ==Tier 3<br>=====[[Seven Sided StrikeBlizzCon 2009]].]]==A Skills==Mana cost: 30<br>Rank: 1/5.<br>Description: Dash at your enemies, striking six times in succession for 50% This tree had 4 of your weapon damage. Rank: 2/5<br>Description: Dash at your enemiesthe 8 skills, striking 7 times in succession for 50% of your weapon damage. A very fun skill. Much like with a finishing move in a fighter. The Monk teleports to his target, Dragon Flight style, and commences to strike multiple times. As best I could tell, the Monk was invulnerablelevel 5, or perhaps intangible, during this attack. He’s not visible except as flashing series of human shapes10, all shining gold and two-dimensional. You can see a screenshot to the right, or see it featured in the Blizzcon B-roll gameplay footage15s. The evolution of All the skill was described skills in detail during the Monk design panel as well.<br> The hits always seemed to land1, 5, and did considerable damage 10 tiers had points invested in total. If this one was cast on an empty spacethem already, so they could be used from the monk would do three flashing hits before stoppingvery start. He’d also stop short of 6 if the target died along the way. If there There were multiple targets in the area, he seemed to select targets randomly, hitting each of them some number of times out of his total of 6.<br> This one was best used on single or double targets, ideally a boss that needed finishing off, especially a teleporter or another elusive one, since all the hits would go to it in rapid succession, and hit it no matter how it squirmed.<br> Fun and effective.

At least not for the (intentionally) overpowered only two Monk. When cast, this skill creates a large rune skills without points already in them on the grounddemo character, with a Stop Time-like bubble shield and both were in the middle of which stands the Monkthis tree. It appeared to be impermeable Both were fairly cool to melee attackers; the Fallen I used it against couldn’t penetrateuse, at lest. They could reach through ittoo, though. A Fallen Overseer had enough range to whack me with his improvised pole arm, as I stood in 100 Fists was the center, immediately after casting it. Regular Fallen could not though, and just stood ringed around clear champ of the exterior, waiting their turntwo.<br>
