Detail Stat Value +% Attack Rating 5 + (15*slvl) +% Radial Fire Attack Damage 40 + (10*slvl) (LoD) 40 + (20*slvl) (D2R) Radius (Yards) 4 Applies weapon + Attack Rating of any kind, but this is not displayed by character screen. [1] Applies boot rather than weapon physical attack damage, but weapon range adder determines melee range and weapon speed determines attack rate. When equipping two claws, primary weapon is used. Assassin's Kick Damage Calculator calculates damage as outlined below: Total minimum damage = minimum base damage + minimum boot damage Total maximum damage = maximum base damage + maximum boot damage Base damage is always applied, even when Assassin is barefoot: Minimum base damage = [ [ (Strength + Dexterity - 20) / 4] * (100 + Skill Bonus) / 100] Maximum base damage = [ [ (Strength + Dexterity - 20) / 3] * (100 + Skill Bonus) / 100] Skill Bonus is +% Damage from Tiger Strike. When Assassin wears boots, boot damage added to base damage is calculated as follows: Minimum boot damage * (100 + [Strength * Strength Bonus / 100] + Damage) / 100 Maximum boot damage * (100 + [Strength * Strength Bonus / 100] + Damage) / 100 Strength Bonus is 120 for all boots, so +% Damage = [Strength * 1.2] (120/100) Damage is sum of +% Damage from the following sources: Skill Bonus (as above) Items other than weapons Auras (Might, Concentration, Fanaticism and Heart of Wolverine) [2] Does not apply the following: Weapon's Enhanced Damage + Minimum Damage + Maximum Damage Damage + +% Damage to Demons +% Damage to Undead Claw Mastery Critical Strike Deadly Strike Applies non-physical attack damage of weapon, items and skills. Radial fire attack damage is a percentage of actual physical attack damage applied by kick, so attacking an Immune to Physical target will result in no radial fire damage. +% Fire Skill Damage applies to radial fire attack damage. Applies Knockback and radial fire attack damage to eligible targets within radius upon a successful attack. Three Ghoul Lords within explosion radius are knocked back from the Assassin, not the center of the explosion: this is why the two to the left and right remain within radius, since they are knocked back against the edge of the platform. Can be used to release charges from the following skills: Tiger Strike Fists of Fire Cobra Strike Claws of Thunder Blades of Ice Phoenix Strike Since radial fire attack damage is dependent on actual physical attack damage to target, using Fists if Fire is not recommended since it converts physical attack damage to fire attack damage. Tiger Strike is the charge-up skill of choice. Consumes only 1 of each Martial Arts charge when cast (D2R only). Always hits if the Assassin has any Martial Arts charges (D2R only). Source Shadow Warrior and Shadow Master can also use Dragon Tail. Skill bonus +(1-3) Dragon Tail (Assassin Only) can spawn on ilvl >18 Exceptional and Elite claws (Hand Scythe and higher).
