The Monk summons light from the source of all light, and unleashes it upon opponents, blinding them for a few seconds, making them very bad at attacking him.

Skill Design

A useful war cry-like attack, this one had a substantial radius, and blinded every non-boss in the area, stopping them in their tracks. I used this against every charge of Fallen Imps (performed when a Fallen Overseer got a mob of 6-12 amped up all at once). No, it wasn't really necessary, since a bunch of Imps were essentially walking health orbs/combo power-ups, but it was sometimes fun to pretend that strategy was required.[1]
