[Guide] Diablo 2 Basics - Skills
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- This is the first part in an ongoing guide series that I will be developing over time. Hopefully I will be able to one day have a full library of D2 videos that can help players from complete noob to D2 professional.
In this video I cover Diablo 2 skills, the skill tree, hotkeys, prerequisites, masteries, hidden bonuses, and a couple of unique quirks not displayed in the game.

Hey everyone! I'd love to hear feedback about this video. Really the first one I have edited so I'm still new to it all.
My biggest questions are what do you think about the format/style? Too formal? Needs more of something? Volume levels too crazy? Any feedback is appreciated!
MrLlamaSC I don’t think it’s too formal at all. This is a great addition stylistically to your existing formats. Keep it up Llama, and always remember... HYDRA PALLY HYPE!!!
MrLlamaSC every thing about it was great!. Really took it all in and honestly. Most of us played this game way to dam long and are still playing it. And I didn't know something's you talked about. Very informative and great editing. Keep it up!....................Jerk.
content is great, the only thing I'd like is if you'd speak a bit more loudly and clearly
I think it's too formal. There is an efficiency from the formality but the friendly, human quality of an informal one is lost. Your "tips and tricks" video was very informal so it felt bloated. Finding a middle ground would be best.
the pixel thing you did at the end was unnecessary imo and also you could speak a little louder.
Had no idea about tome from inventory not using animation frames. Great video.
This. I played this game for like two and a half years and I had no clue about that. Cool video!
Watching this in 2021 for Diablo 2 Resurrected. Finally a video that explains actual skill usage! I thought mouse clicks were always the same skills and f keys for other skills. Didn't know pressing the f keys actually binds them to the mouse click! Now I can f shit up, thanks!
Even though I have played this game since a kid I'm sure you know wayyyyy more about the game. I already love these guides
You can't missskill, if you never skill.
*tips on temple*
The music for your intro and outro is pretty loud compared to the actual content. I'd try to make it more consistent. I had to turn the volume down when the intro played, back up when you started talking, and quickly back down for the outro.
noted, thank you! I'll get volume levels adjusted in the future vids
pretentious much
I am now in Llamas with you for this guide. I have been playing D2 since 2001 and this guide still taught me something new. Thanks for bringing fresh and superb content!
I love this kind of videos... its perfect, just the sound balance.
I was just seeing your records on youtube, and i started playing it, and was just amazed of how much i didnt know about the game, so i was seeing all your videos searching for all of your commentarys about the game, but it was hard to understand without knowing the basics, so i started to read about it, but know with this video (and hopefully a series) i'm gonna learn so much :D
THANK YOU :D
I came for the thumbnail, but stayed for the Llama :)
Thank you for this guide, I'm excited to start playing Diablo 2 : LoD again! I appreciate and love all of your content.
Wow, I wish more videos like this where up when I was playing Diablo 2. I pretty much learnt all that was covered here over a period of time from players online. Keep up the good work dude love your videos !
appreciated! Once I get moved and settled I plan on releasing more content like this weekly
Great job! Exactly the diablo II content I needed to keep playing and improving at the game.
Absolutely enjoyed this video, and actually learned a few things despite playing the game on and off a ton at a time since release. I can't wait for more, thanks for the upload!
Excellent! Guides like this will lead people interested in speed running or casual D2 playing to up their game.
Really good, don't be afraid of goofing around a bit if you feel it's a bit too formal. As long as the core message remains it's all good.
I'm a simple man. I see MrLlama post. I click.
Thanks bro could not figure out how to bind the skills and use them. Nice video!
learn something from a basics video? yeh right!
("casting town portal from the inventory doesn't invoke casting frames..")
*whistles
I appreciate you and the content you put out, thanks for getting me back into my childhood game! Keep it up with the guides :)
Zealer was my first and always my favorite to play
Great video man, watched so many of your streams on TH-cam, never get to catch you streaming though. Very informative video and told this old dog some new tricks!
I would probably add an annotation about getting resets for your skill points from akara, based solely on this video it seems like if you misclick a skill, your character might be forever gimped. Maybe add that point in a stat guide? Explain what each stat is used for, what attack rating means especially on the other difficulties, a block cap, no def when running, things like that. Why its not good to put points in certain skills, when is it good to stop putting points in those skills, etc
Good point about skill reset from Akara. Just completely missed it...also I think YT disabled text annotations so I may just be out of luck there :(
But I can add that point in the stat guide when I make it!
Damn I wish this existed 15 years ago. Subbed!
Well this is just excellent. Maybe consider going back to this style of guidance for your current series of build-guides :-)
--> Thorough & compact rather than rushed one-takers. (love you no matter what though)
Dang, thanks for the tip about Druid summons. I have a sick pelt that has +1 to Grizzly, which I've been using to delay putting "wasted" points into the prerequisites for it until Oak Sage is maxed. I think my plan is still solid, because the grizzly is pretty tanky as is, but a good thing to know regardless.
Thank you, MrLlamaSC
! Damn, why is this game still such a hit!
it was built so well, that's why :)
Thanks, Mr. Llama.
it’s good to still see love for this game ty for this
Since there are alot of diffrent textboxes in this game. Newer players might have a hard time figuring out exactly what you are talking about. For example when talking about synergies you might want to highlight the text or maybe zoom in on it so its easier to understand. Great video!
Agreed. In the future I'm going to rely more on graphics and less on being in the game physically moving around the mouse
I'm starting to see a pattern here, since most of the people i know/ask, myself included, started this game with "necro summoner everything into summon skeleton". Although i had some points in the golem, too :D
Right on! I'm pretty stoked that you're doing these so I'll have somewhere to point people to, who ask me about the game. Bonus that it's one of my favorite streamers(there's your ego stroke for the day, everybody gets one!).
I think my only critique that hasn't already been covered is slow down when talking just in the slightest. I'm sure that time is a factor when putting these videos together(too short, no absorption of info and too long people get bored, I get it), but some spots it sounded as though words ran together or you tripped over yourself entirely. I'm sure you'll find a good cadence in subsequent videos, though, so it's not a huge deal.
Feels weird to hear you speak so...not familiarly? Lol Not sure how to put it, but on stream it's just different. xP
Would love to see more of these, you are by far the most well spoken D2 guy. I suppose it's a matter of personal taste, but why did you change skill hotkey binds to letters rather than F1-12?
I play starcraft and am used to all those hotkeys. F keys are further away
Just getting into Diablo 2 so this is great!
"Dungeon siege 2" is a great game about its skillz too try it
Helpful for D2R! Thanks!
great video and useful info! good job llama!
Yeah I always wondered if the hotkey itself triggers the skill or you need to press the hotkey AND then left or right-click afterwards. Modern computers having function keys that will open other stuff (like F1 opens the Help windows) aren't helping.
"This is the one. Let's go!"
Great tutorial, keep them coming
I always support you. lama fighting !
I'm here after D2R release👍
Mr. Llama? More like Immortal King!
I just subscribed. I'd love to see a fireball sorc speedrun. Tempted to do it myself, but I really don't have the time to even figure out installation ATM. How fast could you farm leaf and blow through? And I mean very minimalist fireball, then respec lightning or ice in NM.
New favorite channel. Miss the shit out of this game.
We tried some FB sorc speedrunning years ago but light just seemed to be better
Oh I see. Congrats on going part time BTW. I guess FB sorc would be more for fun than for a record.
I agree, the fact you need to plan and choose your skills is why d2 is still awesome today. And it’s why d3 was a snooze fest to me. D3 felt like my hand was being held the entire time.
I like setting up scroll wheel up/down to "select next skill" and "select previous skill" respectively. Works as just an extra way to select skills if you're like me and always keep you hand hovered over your potions. I'm just a wuss though :-P
I personally hate it, but I suppose in the future it's important to at least note that it's an option :)
Oh no doubt It's has to be a pretty poor way to go for speedrunning. But if you're lazy like me and only use like 4 skills, it works... Until you have to squeeze another skill in there :-P
Good hearing from you Mr. Llama!
As for the tanking solo hell bear, yeah, my bear got 1shot in hell cold plains by a bossgroup, even tho' bear, dire wolf, and wolf are maxed out.
Im pretty new to diablo 2, what I'm wondering is how did people back in the day know about the right arrangement on runes to make runewords or recipes for the cube and precise stuff like that. Because I have not seen anything in the game mentioning this it's more like a couple of vague hints. I always have to look things up online, how did people figure this out back then? Were the recipes in the game manual or something like that ?
People just unloaded the files and looked at the combinations :D
awesome, thank you
hey Llama can you explain the stats ? Like what should you put your points into if you are a Druid ? Energy , health or Vit or Strength ? tks
That's gotta be a D3 wallpaper during the Disclaimer screen though...
GG MR SC!
Kinda late for 18 years but great!
Make more videos like this one!
Lighting resist can increase the maximum resist, can this bonus get from your gears which has plus to all skills, I remember it cant.
like the vid llama, messing around more and a bit less formal would be fun. Keep it up llama!
So wait, when you say the druid summons receive bonuses from each other, do you mean that each point in one gives an effective point in the others? Or is it a different type of bonus depending on what type of point?
So for instance, say I have 10 points in grizzly, 10 points in dire wolf, and 1 point in spirit wolf. Does that mean that when I summon a grizzly it acts like a level 21 summon grizzly?
I mean they are synergies for each other, but they also count soft skills from items. So it doesn't add to your grizzly like it is boosting his levels but rather it increases his dmg, hp, etc when you put skills in the others. However if you get an item that adds +1 to summon skills or something of that nature, every point added in every skill will help the others.
hes talking about synergy. The grizzly you summon will be level 10, but it will get bonuses from the levels in the other summons. Its listed in the skill tree, but it will be something like +damage or +life for every point in the other skills.
great video
Good stuff. Intro is slightly too loud. Ending music is also too loud and much too long. I'd rather not see any ending, as it doesn't add anything. Just end on your "ship outta loop?".
Reminds me of my original teeth necro when I was 12. >.> Ended up finishing off that run beating everything into submission with a big-ass 2 handed hammer. >.>
Thanks for taking the time to cover these. >.>
I like this guide idea .. keep it up !
PS maybe try a different catchphrase at the end hhhhh
I ALWAYS set my tome of tp to a hotkey. Especially playing hc
This aged well
with plugy it doesn't matter sense you can reset infinetly amount of times ;)
is shebadeloop really the way to go? LOL
personally i prefer the casual way of speaking, just like when you are streaming and answering some questions from the chat.
but, it has to be pointed out that i do not hate the formal way of speaking like in this video, nor it is inferior or with fault. Both have their pros and cons and this is just a personal preference.
The intro and outro music can be a little bit lower though. People with headphone probably would have their ears blasted if they jack up the volume to listen to your content and suddenly comes the outro.
.... jerk
15years of d2, I didn't know about the druid summon synergies. I still don't understand why they receive synergy bonus from softpoints.
They're treated as passives or masteries in their relation. Bit strange for sure but kinda a fun thing :)
this is me (blackgaver) making a comment, lul, thanks nice vid Kappa
Nice video
You sound like Pauly Shore
Loved it, give me moar, MORE MORE MORE OMG IT FEELS SO GOOD ON MY EYES
Kinda brushing on this topic in the vid... What's a good spot for cold mastery? For example I love going fireball/frozen orb and after getting the important skills put in fire and lightning i've gone with a sort of 2 to frostbolt 1 to cold mastery with any extra skillpoints to support frozen orb. Is there a golden rule here somewhere?
As constructive critique I want to add the intro audio sounds very low quality
I like to get cold mastery to be roughly 130-150 negative res, but if you're running something like infinity then getting it to -60-70 is enough. Most monsters aren't going to have more than 50% cold resistance so with -130 to -150 you're basically bringing them down to nothing!
in pvp you may want a little higher to counteract all the people with 175%+
sch...schbata...schbataloup?
Rakanishu
SHABADALOOP!
Idk...I'm trying to figure out a good catchphrase..
I mean.. I'm not knocking you for it or anything.. but how is THAT what you came up with? lmaoo

MrLlamaSC honestly it’s great. I think you should say a different weird catchphrase after every video. You know, keep us on our toes.
It's really great! It's one of those things that, when people become used to it, it will really stick.
just wondering, living in oklahoma have you ever seen a tornado ? what's the closest distance from a tornado you have been ?
I've stood outside and watched it go by before. They happen a lot...
Nice! Could be perfect if the volume is higher.
Yep volume needs to be adjusted!
Does the necromancers summon resist actually improve the skeletons in some other way (hp dmg?) then give resistance since it's listed as a synergy. Or it just gives + resistance and that's all folks
Should only give +resists
thx
You mean,when I was giving Paladin's resistance skill point and not active i have all of resistance? Without active ?
You only get + to your MAX resist, but it doesn't give you extra resistance itself from the passive ability.
So if you have 20 points in Resist Fire your Max fire resistance goes up to 85 instead of 75 when in a passive state
Thank you for this LlamaSc, i've been learning so much watching your runs, personally, i try to copy your playstyle. XD
whos also here after Blizzcon 2021?
a de-esser would be gr8
Everything was great but I was a little confused on one thing. How do I equip the belt?
lol gosh dangit
the audio is a little bit low .
best memories was morrowwalk bug. necro was so powerfull with that bug
also bonehew and brand bow were so powerful
Piercing arrow was the modt OP qtuff ever. Like killing mephi in 2 arrow without seeing him lol
good shit
So how do you use a passive skill and regular skills driving me nuts
If you mean something like auras on a Paladin, you need to have an aura selected in your right-click, and use your regular skills (like Smite/etc) on your left-click.
If you mean passives like the Amazon's passive tree, you don't need to actually cast them, they are always active.
If you mean castable passives (aka "Buffs") like the Assassin's Burst of Speed, you need to cast the spell and it will last for a certain duration, during which you can swap to another regular skill for left or right click. You will need to recast Burst of Speed when the "buff" wears off.
More of these please. Believe it or not, people aren't as helpful in the game. Especially during ladder.
Hi!
At the end of the video the druid character moves despite the 2 buttons are assigned to skills. I thought normal attack needed to be appointed to one of them in order to move. How is it possible ?
Hope you'll answer me :)
you can still move with a red skill showing!
What is a way to reset skills even in v 1.2 where Akara doesn’t let you reset your skills
can't reset them in those early patches without hero editor or something
how do I get like plus 20 to skills from gear
how do u remov the skill cap on skills like i would love to have more skeletons XD.
iv tried finding the file skils.txt but it doesn't exist i have LOD btw and Pluggy.
Also im single player only because the NIC broke on my windows vista so no hacking online ;)
where can i finde a side there show me "passive bonuses skills" ?
there are a lot of different ones so it depends which character and skill you're curious about honestly. I don't know of a source that has all of them
World of Warcraft just got that hover to set you keybinds, better late than never? lol
MrLlama, dont you know why i cant reset skills at Akara. Is this a new patch?
You only get the respect from the den of evil completion, so you get 3 free respects in total
MaxWestt I know that, but maybe in our server: playground.ru i can't do it at any character
also shebadeloop
Find that waaaaaay outdated burrito pkazon guide from waaaaaaay back in the day (1999-2002?) That was for pure entertainment. Back when buriza was that penultimate beast for zons. But you're too young for that. Good job otherwise. I have spent hundreds of hours helping out newbs, explaining everything from gear, to skill placement, to inventory management.
I will always love this game. Radament has a skin suit if you pay attention. And that only begins to cover it.
when should we see a hell druid summon Kappa
stay a while and listen...
first character was a Javazon and i couldnt kill Duriel lmao
so i have a question, my main computer took a shit and had to get a new one, my uncle gave me his but it has windows 8, why cant i play diablo 2 on it? its a dell, ive never had a dell before please help! help me llama! i need the helpful llama
You should be able to play, just need to fiddle with the settings
ok, i been playing since the game came out but took a 3year break and lost all my b.net accounts :( and my disc's so had to buy some more lol and just now getting back into it, i just want to play, it would be awesome to play with u once i figure everything out if possible
SHABADALOOP!!!!!
I see someone is replicating meme ;D
Good video. 19 years late tho xd
