Wind is one of the types of Elemental Damage. Though wind-based attacks have been featured since Diablo II, wind was made into a damage-type (separate from physical) in Diablo Immortal.
Characteristics[]
Wind does relatively low damage when compared to other elements. However, it excels in crowd control, and expressed in various forms from knockback, gathering and restricting movement, and even slowing movement in a particular direction. Wind can also be used to buff Attack Speed, Movement Speed and Evasion Rating of the player[1] and their allies.[2] It can also be used as a cutting edge,[3] to empower blades,[4] and to teleport.[5]
Wind is used by the Wizard (Arcane Wind), Monk (Cyclone Strike, Flying Dragon) classes. Of note, the Tempest class makes extensive use of this element. The Barbarian and Crusader classes can also use wind to buff their skills.
Wind also synergizes with fire to create firestorms which increases the damage of the wind attack by 50%.
