Diablo II began with five classes (Amazon, Barbarian, Necromancer, Paladin and Sorceress) and Lord of Destruction added two more (Assassin and Druid). Each class has 3 unique skill trees, each with 10 skills, 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|experience]] points to reach the maximum Level: '''99'''.
 +
<br>
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Player character Level ('''clvl''' or '''cLvl''') serves a multitude of purposes throughout the game, including, but not limited to:
 +
* Calculating [[Class#Chance to hit|chance to hit]] for any attack that requires a successful hit check to apply damage.
 +
* Calculating [[Class#Block chance|chance to block]] a successful enemy attack while equipping a shield in [[Expansion]] games.
 +
* Unlocking new [[Skill|skills]] and assigning additional [[Skill#Skill_points|skill points]] to already known skills.
 +
* Meeting [[Requirements|requirements]] to equip [[Item|items]] (or benefit from charms located in player inventory in Expansion games).
 +
* Completing specific [[Quest|quests]]:
 +
** [[Tools of the Trade|{{Ub|=Tools of the Trade}}]]
 +
** [[Rite of Passage (quest)|{{Ub|=Rite of Passage}}]]
 +
<br>
 +
In some cases '''cLvl''' is used to determine item source Level ('''ilvl''' or '''iLvl''') and is thus of particular interest concerning [[Affix|affix]] availability on [[Item#Magic|{{Mb|=magic items}}]], [[Item#Rare|{{Rb|=rare items}}]], and [[Item#Crafted|{{Cb|=crafted items}}]], as well as the possibility to gamble [[Item#Set|{{Sb|=set items}}]] and [[Item#Unique|{{Ub|=unique items}}]].

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.


Player character Level (clvl or cLvl) serves a multitude of purposes throughout the game, including, but not limited to:


In some cases cLvl is used to determine item source Level (ilvl or iLvl) and is thus of particular interest concerning affix availability on magic items, rare items, and crafted items, as well as the possibility to gamble set items and unique items. The table below summarises the formulae in question:


Source Output Output iLvl

Item [50·cLvl / 100] + [50·iLvl / 100]

Imbue

Item cLvl + 4

(Anya)

Class Item cLvl

1 iLvl is randomly selected from {cLvl - 5, cLvl - 4 ... cLvl + 4}, although when cLvl < 10: minimum iLvl is 5, and when cLvl > 95: maximum iLvl is 99. [1]
2 In Normal difficulty the iLvl offered is at most 12 in RE (cLvl > 6), 20 in LG (cLvl > 14), 28 in KD (cLvl > 22), 36 in PF (cLvl > 30), and 45 in H (cLvl > 39). [2]


Level-up

  • Rewards player character with five (5) attribute points and one (1) skill point.
  • Increases maximum Stamina, Life, and Mana, according to the table below.
  • Restores Stamina, Life, and Mana completely.


Stat increment Amazon Assassin Barbarian Druid Necromancer Paladin Sorceress
Stamina 3 +1 +1.25 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1
Life 3 +2 +2 +2 +1.5 +1.5 +2 +1
Mana 3 +1.5 +1.5 +1 +2 +2 +1.5 +2

3 Displayed stamina, life, and mana are rounded down to the nearest point, while actual stamina, life, and mana are rounded down to the nearest bit (1/256 point).

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 4 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

4 Base defense of all classes is [Dexterity/4]. [3]

Bonus Points

  • Five (5) attribute points are awarded (for the player to distribute) when a player character gains a level or returns Lam Esen's Tome to Alkor (thus completing the quest).
  • Attribute points allocated by player and attribute bonuses (+all Attributes, +Dexterity, +Vitality, and +Energy) from items equipped and charms stored in inventory apply the following stat bonuses:


Stat increment Amazon Assassin Barbarian Druid Necromancer Paladin Sorceress
AR per Dexterity +5 +5 +5 +5 +5 +5 +5
Defense per Dexterity +0.25 +0.25 +0.25 +0.25 +0.25 +0.25 +0.25
Stamina per Vitality 5 6 +1 +1.25 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1
Life per Vitality 5 6 +3 +3 +4 +2 +2 +3 +2
Mana per Energy 5 6 +1.5 +1.75 +1 +2 +2 +1.5 +2

5 Stamina, Life, and Mana gained from +all Attributes, +Vitality, and +Energy do not benefit from Increase Maximum Stamina %, Increase Maximum Life %, and Increase Maximum Mana %.
6 Displayed stamina, life, and mana are rounded down to the nearest point, while actual stamina, life, and mana are rounded down to the nearest bit (1/256 point).

Chance to hit

Consult our Attack page for the generic Chance to hit formula and information about its components.

Block chance

Consult our Block page for Classic and Expansion Chance to Block formulae and sources of blocking.

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.

  • When other classes transform into a Werewolf or Werebear, breakpoints are the same as those of a Druid in the same form. [6]
  • 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. [7]



Cast rate

The table below lists the minimum Faster Cast Rate required by each class to reduce the number of frames in the casting animation and thus increase its speed. Some breakpoints differ depending on the player's form or the skill used.
