few months old now anyways welcome but wheres seven sided strike and exploding palm and stuff

HMMMM?

Hi Zenith,

I think you are confused. I posted this skill tree before the Monk was released as an actual character. The above skill tree is made up of complete speculation from me at the time.

O and for the record this one is kinda of like seven sided strike.. hehe

WRATH OF FALLEN LIGHT
You are a weapon of the heavens striking up to 5 nearby targets for % extra damage - Increases AR by % - % chance for Deadly Strike.

Not to far off! :cool:

Cheers

haha looking back it looks like I wasn't too far off the mark!

Thanks.

Actually, now i'm looking over it again - I think i might actually finish it. Though it might just make me more depressed when Blizzard don't have a monk class haha.

Would be wicked if they did though

Feel free to post your thoughts/ideas on here aswell. Might use them if I end up finishing it!

Hi guys,

I saw a thread about people discussing if a Monk class would fit in D3 and how a Monks skill tree would work.

Well...seeing as 'Monks of Sanctuary' won the Lore contest, I thought I would post up the semi completed Skill Tree I worked on for the competition but did not finish in time to submit it. (Damn work - keeping me from working on things that really matter - like D3 Class Speculation for fan forum :P)

I really only got a few ideas down but i think you get the general idea of what the end product would of looked like... You will probably appreciate the skill tree more if you read the lore first as there is reference to the three Arts (skill trees)http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showpost.php?p=441700&postcount=19 .

Enjoy
