Crushing Blow

Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Attribute Unit Animation Attack Damage Death Crushing Blow Enhanced Minimum Maximum Adds Damage Damage + % Damage to Demons to Undead Deadly Strike Magic Fire Lightning Cold Poison Skill Damage ATD/ATLD DR/MDR Resistance Maximum Enemy Resist Immune Absorb Sunder When this overlay is displayed, % Chance of Crushing Blow has been applied by an attack (although be aware that hits with Bash, Leap Attack and Charge display this as well). Target's current life is reduced by a fraction before the damage of that attack is applied. Crushing Blow damage to monsters is divided by 0.5 + (0.5 * #players), so effectively monster's current base life (prior to the 50% increase with each additional player) is reduced by a fraction. This fraction is modified depending on the target and the attack: Target Current Life Melee Ranged Default 1/4 1/8 Super Unique and Boss 1/8 1/16 Player and Mercenary 1/10 1/20 Default values apply to pets and normal, minion, Champion and Unique monsters. No other target or attack penalties of any kind are applied. % Chance from multiple sources is summed, although when two weapons are equipped only that of the attacking weapon is added (that of the other weapon is ignored). >100% Chance is redundant. Applied by any melee or ranged attack with the exception of Blade Sentinel, Blade Shield and the additional arrows of Multiple Shot (only applied by the original two arrows). Damage can be reduced by target Damage Resist/Reduced by %. While a ceiling of DR 50% normally applies to players and hirelings, this does not apply to Crushing Blow: DR >99% results in immunity to Crushing Blow. Casting Amplify Damage (DR -100%) or Decrepify (DR -50%) will prevent DR >0% reducing damage (both are still fully effective when cast on a player or hireling equipping DR >99%). However, DR <0% will not increase Crushing Blow damage. Sanctuary may normally pierce DR % of Undead, but this does not apply to Crushing Blow: Immune to Physical Undead will remain immune to Crushing Blow. [1] [2] Damage cannot be reduced by Bone Armor, Energy Shield [3] or Damage Reduced.
