==Background==
Calling upon Arcane forces, the Wizard can make her skin hard as diamond for short period of time.
==Skill Skillrune Effects==The following is a very quick listsummary. See the [[Diamond Skin rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
<blockquote>''At level 5 with a rune it absorbed 150 damage of any type, but the duration was quite short, so you had to cast it just before you needed it. Also, 150 sounded like a lot, but a Meteor or grinding Barb could do double that in a second, and Wizards with Diamond Skin on tended to feel invulnerable, and stuck around in dangerous, melee situations longer than they should have.''</blockquote>
Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], and Diamond Skin became a level 9 skill. When the skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, Diamond Skin was classified as a Defensive skill and dropped to level 8.
