[[File:IconSerenity.jpgpng|left]]'''Serenity''' (formerly named [[Impenetrable Defense]]) is a Spirit Spending [[Monk skill]] enabled unlocked at [[clvl|levelLevel]] 18. The Monk summons a holy shield to protect himself from damage.
<br><br><br>__TOC__
==Background==
The Monk expends spirit energy to summon a [[holy]] shield which protects the caster from incoming damage.
==Skill Effects==
The following is a very quick list. See the [[Serenity rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

==Skill Design==
[[Image:Monk_-_Impeneterable_Defense3.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Swinging along...]]Serenity (when it was [[Impenetrable Defense]]) was not needed in the [[BlizzCon 2009 demo]], since the [[Monk]] was quite overpowered in combat. I didn't experiment with his "dodge" ability, which is mentioned as a by product of several skills, since it was so much more fun just to blast everything with his offense. Plus, testing time is always limited, even in the press room. I would have made sure to try the other element of this skill, the "rebounds enemy ranged attacks," but there were zero monster archers and virtually no projectile spell casters in the BlizzCon build.
==Synergies==
* No [[synergies]] with any of the [[passive skill]]s are yet known.
==Development==
'''Serenity''' was first revealed shown (as [[Impenetrable Defense]]) at [[BlizzCon 20102009]] as one of the originals when the [[Monk]]was unveiled. It is the was slightly modified and renamed and updated version of to Serenity in the skill game demo that was presented at [[Impenetrable DefenseBlizzCon 2010]]as a Tier 2 skill.
Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], and Serenity became a level 18 skill.
