Dragon Tail

From Diablo 2 Wiki

Dragon Tail

Required Level: 18
Prerequisites: Dragon Talon, Dragon Claw
Finishing Move: The experienced Assassin can deliver a kick so powerful it actually causes an explosion on impact, sending any nearby victims sprawling.
Synergies: None
Notes:

  • Dragon Tail's fire damage calculation is based off the actual physical damage receieved by the target from the Assassin's kick. A level 2 Dragon Tail adds 60% of the physical damage delivered from the kick as fire damage. However, if the target resists physical damage by 50%, the target will receive 50% of the physical damage from the Assassin's kick, and based off that physical damage, 60% of that will be fire damage (30%).
  • Therefore, if the target is physical immune, the Dragon Tail attack does not directly affect the target.
Mana Cost: 10
