-A series of large sweeping attacks that cause 100% weapon damage to all enemies in front of you. Crippling Wave attacks daze enemies, slowing movement by 50% for 1.5sec.
Later on in the gameplay I noticed that every strike the Monk made caused the "snare" effect on mobs. However in the skill calculator I noticed the tooltip states:
A series of large sweeping attacks that causes 100% weapon damage to all enemies in front of you. Every third hit damages all enemies around you and dazes them, slowing movement by 50% for 4.5 seconds.
I wonder which is correct for release? Is it that Beta is correctly showing how all of Crippling Wave's strikes will have a snare effect or just the 3rd strike as in the Calculator? This can have a large impact on how I will consider building and using my skill choices.....if it does have a snare effect on the first 2 strikes, I'm almost certain to use this as my strike 1,2 spirit generator
The skill calculator has been updated more recently than the client, so I'd say the calculator is correct. There are many tooltip and skill changes present in the calculator that are not in beta.
In beta right now it may work that all three strikes cause the debuff (which is what the bnet poster is saying). But the website data is more current than the beta build, and that tooltip is pretty clear, so perhaps they decided to change it.

Yep. They changed some other things too e.g. that you have no 2nd lvl1 Skill... Blinding Flash is now lvl2 and Mantra of Evasion is also lvl2. So you start with only a Spirit Generator but no Spender Oo
Interesting. I guess that makes a little bit of sense since you only fight about 12 enemies before you hit level 2 anyways. Although for the sake of confusing a brand new player I think I'd rather it gave you 2 skills to start and a third when you hit level 2, rather than one skill to start and suddenly you have to pick between 3 after just using the one.
I dunno, I'm not a new player so either way is fine for me, but I'm not sure which is more complicated for a brand new Diablo player.

At exactly 8min30sec in he reaches Level 8 and scrolls over the tooltip Crippling Wave. In the game the tooltip states:

which pretty much states the opposite of what you just said, soooo the only thing I'm sure of is that I'm confused as to what to believe lol
