Searing Palm is a Kung Fu Master skill gained at level 45. It does instant damage and applies a debuff to a single target in melee range, piercing Parry and Defense skills, and restores Focus. Searing Palm must be Readied by another skill before it can be used, and has a 30 second cooldown. The default hotkey is X.
Its significant damage boosts position Searing Palm to setup short burst windows, with various CDR and setup skills allowing a consistent rotation. Stun talents and pierce ensure its viability in PvP content as well.
