Studies for a Wizard, in how to use her latent magical skills in melee combat to bring her foes down.

Interesting skill design, together with Magic Weapon, hinting at a melee-orientated Wizard.

Put a table of the skill rank and damage/mana/fury per rank.

Only Rank 1 is currently known.

Slowing Strikes was first shown at BlizzCon 2008 when the Wizard was unveiled as a Tier 4 skill in the Conjuring Skill Tree. It was one of many new skills hinting at a melee-Wizard, with skills like Magic Weapon. It was removed sometime prior to BlizzCon 2009.
