The attack has three phases. Each strike deals X% weapon damage as lightning damage, varying by rank and other factors, which may be valuable for later difficulty settings with enemies who are [[resist]]ant to [[physical]] damage. Each strike also has a chance to interrupt the enemy being struck.{{Combo history notes}}

===Beta===
The [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Fists of Thunder became a level 1 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, and Fists of Thunder was classified as a Primary skill (but remained at level 1). For [[Beta Patch 14]], it was [[buff]]ed a bit.
