Skill Design

This spell looks to be under construction, with no duration listed. Also note that lightning critical hits will stun enemies, which would make this a lot more useful as a defensive spell, if your Wizard has a high chance to land a critical hit with spells (specifically lightning spells).


Skill Rank Table

Only Rank 1 is currently known.


Synergies

Storm Armor benefits directly from the following traits:

  • Prismatic Cloak: Increases the effect of Ice Armor and Storm Armor by 100%.
  • Conjured Armor: Increases your armor by 25%. If Ice Armor or Storm Armor is active, your armor is instead increased by 50%.

Skill Rune Effects

  • None known.


Development

Storm Armor was first shown at BlizzCon 2008, and was even a skill visitors could try out. However, it wasn't a skill many considered to try, since defensive skills were all but pointless in the small Forgotten Tombs dungeon.

It was seen again at BlizzCon 2009, but as a Tier 5 skill, so it's a bit too high level to try out. It looked to still be under construction, with no duration listed.
