Diablo II Hints

Skills: Martial Arts

  • The Assassin has many martial arts skills available.  They fall into two categories, the charge-up skills and the finishing moves.  It is easiest to put a charge-up skill on the left mouse click, and a finishing move on the right mouse click.  This makes both types available, even in the heat of a battle.


    Charge Ups

    Tiger Strike -- Tiger strike is probably your first charge up strike.  It does good damage, and adds 100% extra damage for each charge added.

    Fists of FIre -- This charge up strike adds progressively more fire damage to each strike.

    Cobra Strike -- This is a must-have charge up, as it allows you to gain life and mana while still fighting.

    Claws of Thunder -- This charge up is really a charge up!  It packs electrical power into the target, which is then released by the finishing move.

    Blades of Ice --  This charge up gives you progressive cold attacks, which can wind up freezing an area.  This is very good with revivable minions.

    Phoenix Strike -- Add an elemental aftermath to your finishing move.  Meteor, Chain Lighting, and Ice Bolt are the results.


    Finishing Moves

    Dragon Talon -- Dragon Talon discharges the effects of your charge-up strikes, and adds a knock back effect of its own.

    Dragon Claw -- This move requires that you have two claw-type weapons to use it.  When you attack, you will get a double swing, each swing with amplified damage.

    Dragon Tail -- This is another finishing move with knock back power, but this time fire damage is added on.

    Dragon Flight -- This move lets you teleport in to deliver the blow.  It is useful in some special situations.
