Class

Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Amazon Assassin Barbarian Druid Necro Paladin Sorceress Warlock (RotW) 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 Player characters begin their adventure at Level 1, starting in Rogue Encampment, and gain levels by slaying monsters located across various areas outside town. Upon exploring new areas and unlocking later acts and difficulty levels by completing certain quests, killing monsters of adequate level eventually rewards character with enough Experience points to reach the maximum Level: 99. Attributes See also: Attribute. Level 1 Player characters start with the following primary attribute values, Attack Rating, Defense rating, Stamina, Life, and Mana: 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].

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. Maximum 140 FBR (Paladin: 155 FBR) can be equipped 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 (FHR), not FBR, reduces animation length.
