Hey Vasadan,

could you and other players, of course, look into this skill, please? I have found something that really bugs me and I am not sure if this is working as intended or just a major bug that hasn't been fixed. I have a thread open on this topic at the beta feedback forum but I just want to post it here as well, to make sure, that this will be clarified.

Here is the link to the other thread: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4422152447?page=1
Please read my first Post for deeper explanation and examples.

And here is an explanation of the issue that I have:

This skill does exactly two things:

First hit:

  • The bell crushes down from above onto the ground, which is the first hit for 215% Weapon Damage.Second hit:

  • The monk kicks the bell and a "wave of light" appears and flies in a straight line, which is the second hit for 45% Weapon Damage + an additional knockback.And this is exactly what the tooltip states. There is no third hit. If there are really three hits, than the tooltip is totally wrong and must be reworked complety.

    This skill currently has the issue that it does not hit for 215%. The damage the first hit does must be around 100% Weapon Damage and this is what needs to be fixed fast.


    • Can anybody reproduce this? I have tried this several times and I have even compared the damage the other skills with similiar Weapon Damage - Lashing Tail Kick with Rune, which does 220% Weapon Damage. This skill, for example, does almost as twice as much as Wave of Light does with the first hit. And I doubt that 5% Weapon Damage difference between these two skill can make such a huge difference in damage.

    Edit: There seems to be an issue with dual wielding. While dual wielding the skill just hits two times instead of three times, only dealing damage for the mainhand. This could be the reason why I am getting only two hits/low damage numbers. Gotta doublecheck this when the servers are up again.

    Edit2: Okay, I have just tried out using this skill with a two handed weapon. The bug is confirmed! I am getting three hits while using a two handed weapon!

    Hey Deathrune,

    We just confirmed that if you are dual wielding really fast weapons (such as fist weapons), you can miss a tick of damage depending on how fast your weapon is. This does not happen with every type of weapon. Thank you for this report.

    However, just a friendly reminder that bumping threads, demanding responses from people, and writing your entire post in bold is really unhelpful for me. Here is something I'd like you to read:
