Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Notation Amazon Assassin Barbarian Druid Necro Paladin Sorceress Diablo II began with five classes: the Amazon, Barbarian, Necromancer, Paladin and Sorceress. The Lord of Destruction expansion added two more: the Assassin and Druid. Each class has 3 unique skill trees with 10 skills each, as well as class-specific items and bonuses. Level (to be edited) Experience (to be edited) Attributes New characters are created with the attributes specified in the following table: Level 1 Attribute Amazon Assassin Barbarian Druid Necromancer Paladin Sorceress Strength 20 20 30 15 15 25 10 Dexterity 25 20 20 20 25 20 25 Attack Rating 95 80 85 70 80 85 75 Defense 1 6 5 5 5 6 5 6 Vitality 20 20 25 25 15 25 10 Stamina 84 95 92 84 79 89 74 Life 50 50 55 55 45 55 40 Energy 15 25 10 20 25 15 35 Mana 15 25 10 20 25 15 35 1 Base defense of all classes is Dexterity/4, rounded down to the nearest point.

Each time they gain a level-up characters receive 5 attribute points, to be distributed between Strength, Dexterity, Vitality and Energy, as the player sees fit. An additional 5 points can be obtained once per difficulty level as a reward for completing the Lam Esen's Tome quest.

Each point spent in Dexterity or granted by items equipped (+Dexterity, +all Attributes) adds 5 Attack Rating for any class. Chance to (be) hit (to be edited) Attack Rating (to be edited) Defense (to be edited) Chance to Block (to be edited) Block rate The table below lists the minimum Faster Block Rate required by each class to reduce the number of frames in the blocking animation and thus increase its speed. Some breakpoints differ depending on the weapon equipped, the player's form or the skill used. Note that block rate breakpoints >140 (>155 for Paladin) are beyond reach in the unmodified game.

[4] Necromancer transforms into a Vampire when he equips the complete Trang-Oul's Avatar set. The Vampire has no blocking animation, so when blocking its hit recovery animation is used instead and thus Faster Hit Recovery, not FBR, reduces animation length.

Some breakpoints differ depending on the player's form or the skill used.
