'''Seven Sided Strike''' is a [[Monk]] Tier 7 [[Monk skills|skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|~~character~~ level]] 26. The Monk uses [[holy]] [[magic]] to attack multiple enemies at once.~~ ~~

This is one of the Monk's [[signature skills]].

The hits always seemed to land, and did considerable damage in total. If this one was cast on an empty space, the monk would do three flashing hits before stopping. He’d also stop short of 6 if the target died along the way. If 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.

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.

~~Fun and effective. What more do you want?~~

Various [[Monk traits]] augment this skill. (Since most Monk skills depend on base weapon damage and probably attack speed, traits which enhance those, and not the skill specifically, are also listed here.)~~ ~~* [[~~Precision_(Monk_trait)|~~Precision]] :Increase melee damage for each point in dexterity.~~ ~~* [[Intimidation]] :Increases damage done and reduces vendor costs.~~ ~~* [[Cruelty]] :Increases chance of critical strikes.~~ ~~* [[Weak Spot]] :Increases critical strike damage.~~ ~~* [[Rapid Strikes]] :Increases attack speed.~~ ~~* [[Frenzied ~~attacks~~Attacks]] :Increases chance of critical strikes as well as their damage.~~ ~~'''Note:''' The current [[trait]] list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game release.
