Fists of Fire

Fists%20of%20Fire.png Description: 3 stage charge-up attack adds Fire Damage to Attacks, does an Explosive Attack and Summons a Meteor.
Required Level: 6
Prerequisites: Dragon Claw

This skill is part of the new Charge-up mechanic which allows charge-up effects to trigger on all melee attack skills including itself. Charges are also no longer consumed when triggered, and will only expire when the duration has ended. Charge effects are cumulative which means at three charges, all three effects are triggered simultaneously. Attacking with Fists of Fire will increase the current charge count by one and refresh the duration for all existing fire charges. While dual-wielding claws, charge up skills perform a double attack and gain two charges rather than one. The Fists of Fire charges have new effects compared to the original game: The first stage adds fire damage to attacks. The second stage causes an instant explosion that deals fire damage to nearby enemies. The third stage sends a meteor crashing down after a short delay, dealing fire damage and physical damage equal to 25% of the fire damage while also leaving a short duration burning ground.

Charge 1: Attacks deal fire damage
Charge 2: Adds an explosive fiery attack
Charge 3: Summons a meteor that deals fire/phys damage in an AoE
Maximum Charges: 3
Charge duration: 5 seconds

Claws%20of%20Thunder.png Description: 3 stage charge-up attack adds Lightning Damage to Attacks, Releases a Fork of Lightning, and Casts Static Field.
Required Level: 18
Prerequisites: Dragon Claw, Fists of Fire

This skill is part of the new Charge-up mechanic which allows charge-up effects to trigger on all melee attack skills including itself. Charges are also no longer consumed when triggered, and will only expire when the duration has ended. Charge effects are cumulative which means at three charges, all three effects are triggered simultaneously. Attacking with Claws of Thunder will increase the current charge count by one and refresh the duration for all existing thunder charges. While dual-wielding claws, charge up skills perform a double attack and gain two charges rather than one. The Claws of Thunder charges have new effects compared to the original game: The first stage adds lightning damage to attacks. The second stage creates a surge of lightning that targets up to 4 nearby enemies and pierces those in between . The third stage shocks all enemies within a 2.7 yard radius, reducing their current life by 5% similarly, to the Sorceress' Static Field skill.

Prerequisites: Dragon Claw, Dragon Talon, Fists of Fire, Claws of Thunder , Dragon Flight

This skill is part of the new Charge-up mechanic which allows charge-up effects to trigger on all melee attack skills including itself. Charges are also no longer consumed when triggered, and will only expire when the duration has ended. Charge effects are cumulative which means at three charges, all three effects are triggered simultaneously.

While dual-wielding claws, charge up skills perform a double attack and gain two charges rather than one. The Blades of Ice charges have new effects compared to the original game: The first stage adds cold damage to attacks.

Patch Changes
#20 Perlite
  • Charge up skills no longer require a finishing move. Any melee attack, including the charge-ups themselves can proc the effect. Charges don’t expire from attacks, only time.
  • Blades of Ice: Gain Cold Damage to Attacks, Release enemy seeking Icicles, Gain Accuracy.
#19 Zincite
  • Increased physical to cold damage conversion from 60% to 80%.
#17 Tourmaline
  • Halved the number of ice bolts.
  • Increased cold damage scaling, added Attack Rating and reduced mana cost.
#16 Jade
  • The ice bolts no longer trigger the hit recovery animation of targeted monsters.
#15 Graphite
  • Cold damage per level increased by ~50%.
  • Ice Charge synergy increased from 10% to 20% Cold damage per charge.
#14 Serandite
  • Mana cost scaling reduced from 1 to 0.5 mana per level.
#13 Titanium
  • Ice Charge synergy increased from 5% to 10% Cold damage per charge.
#1 Bedrock
  • Compared with Vanilla D2, skill has been reworked as follows: now releases numerous (~5) ice bolts. Each ice bolt counts as a ranged attack and consequently applies weapon damage and associated modifiers and effects (e.g. elemental damage, deadly strike, crushing blow, and chance to cast on striking, but only the initial attack triggers melee splash). The ice bolts are generated whether the melee attack hits or not, but each ice bolt again rolls an AR check, to decide if it hits. The damage is first reduced then converted (E.g. 200 phys dmg become 60cold and 40phys dmg). (Bedrock #1-hidden)
