The skill works like a laser beam, firing a straight line of Arcane damage that moves instantly from the Wizard's hand to the edge of the screen. This makes the spell reach the enemies faster than any other spell in the game, and its ability to pass through as many targets as are in the way gives it impressive piercing ability.

<br>__TOC__

==Background==

A [[Wizard]] can call forth a torrent of Arcane energies to make matter simply vanish.

==Skill Effects==

The following is a very quick list. See the [[Disintegrate rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

| Damage increases slowly over time to inflict a maximum of {{c_lime|188 - 234}} Arcane damage per second.

|-

| [[Convergence]]

| Increase the width of the beam allowing it to hit more enemies for {{c_lime|111 - 139}} Arcane damage per second.

|-

| [[Entropy]]

| The beam fractures into a short ranged cone causing {{c_lime|114 - 153}} Arcane damage per second.

|-

| [[Chaos Nexus]]

| When casting the beam you become charged with energy that spits out at nearby enemies doing {{c_lime|68 - 85}} Arcane damage.

|-

| [[Volatility]]

| Enemies killed by the beam have a {{c_lime|35%}} chance to explode causing {{c_lime|153 - 177}} Arcane damage to all enemies within {{c_lime|8}} yards.

==Skill Design==

::The next spell, Disintegrate, was described as the ultimate face melting skill, and introduces a new mechanic. When you use Disintegrate, you will begin to emit a jet of searing red heat for as long as you hold down the mouse button. By sweeping the mouse around, you'll change the direction of the beam. The longer the beam holds on a specific enemy, the more damage it will do to that enemy.

==Synergies==

::''It doesn’t actually feel anything like fire in-game. The screenshots don't really give a good impression of the way it looks and acts. In a screenshot you may think… well it has a lot of colors of fire, but in motion you just don’t get that impression. It comes across as a red-dominated skill. And the sound of the ability actually plays a huge part in how it feels, and it feels like a very focused and powerful energy beam.''

See the [[Wizard skill archive]] for more details on previous versions of Disintegrate and other Wizard skills.<br>

Or see [[Disintegrate (BlizzCon 2008)]] for the original version of this skill.

==Trivia==

With Diablo III, Blizzard have looked more at the traditional Dungeons & Dragons pen & paper RPG for inspiration. The Disintegrate spell is one of the "trademark" D&D spells, which name is likely taken in tribute to the pen & paper RPG.
