General Information[]
Synergies[]
- Gives synergy to:
- Fists of Fire: +4% damage per level
- Dragon Claw: +4% damage per level
- Receives synergy from: None
This skill is very useful for any Assassin focused on Martial Arts skills. Combining the Attack Rating and Damage bonuses of the Charge-up Skills, Finishing Move, and Claw Mastery adds up to a lot of bonuses. It covers all Katars, not just actual Claws.
The percentage bonuses are additive. It does not synergize with skills that are animated as kicks (as those receive damage bonus from boots rather than weapons).
The Critical Strike effect functions just like an Amazon's Critical Strike skill and the various Barbarian weapon-specific Combat Masteries - it is a chance to do double damage on each attack with Claws. This is also similar to some items' chance to Deadly Strike.
