Seize the Initiative
Seize the Initiative is a passive skill which grants more defense to the Monk.
Lore
The Monks of Ivgorod are trained to move like water; flowing freely into open spaces -- crashing hard against their foes.
Design
Your Defense is increased by 25% of your Attack.
Level Requirement
- Monk: level 17
Synergies
No synergies with any active skills or other passive skills are known.
Development
Passive skills have had a long and storied history. When Diablo III debuted at the WWI 2008, skill trees included passive skills, much like in Diablo II. In 2010, it was announced that passive skills had been renamed traits and separated out from active skills. At the July 2011 Press Event, Blizzard announced that passive skills were once again in the game, replacing the traits system.
Seize the Initiative is present in the Diablo III Beta.
