==Background==

~~[[File:blindingflash.png|thumb|200px|right|Blinding Flash in action]]~~

The Monk expends spirit energy to create a flash of light which blinds his enemies, preventing them from attacking unless attacked first.

==Skill Rune Effects==The following is a very quick ~~list~~summary. See the [[Blinding Flash 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.

<skill class="Monk">Blinding Flash</skill>

==Synergies==

* No The following [[~~synergies~~Monk passives]] ~~with any~~ provide a benefit to Blinding Flash:{{Passive skills header}}{{Monk Passive Resolve}}{{Monk Passive Beacon of ~~the [[passive skill]]s are yet known.~~Ytar}}

<blockquote>''Quite likely you’ll want some of the defensive skills for very special occasions. This one sounds like it would help against a really nasty boss pack, or against a bunch of ranged attackers. And the defensive skills will probably be very useful later in the game; just not so much early on, as powerful as the Monk is in his killing techniques.</blockquote>

===Beta===Skill tiers were removed ~~for~~ shortly before the [[~~July 2011 Press Event~~beta]]started in September 2011, and Blinding Flash became a level 1 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, and Blinding Flash was classified as a Defensive skill and moved to level 4.
