Fire Claws is a Druid skill in Diablo II.
Synergies[]
- Gives synergy to: None
- Receives synergy from:
- Firestorm: +22% Fire damage per level
- Molten Boulder: +22% Fire damage per level
Usage[]
Unlike other similar skills, Fire Claws may be used in both Werewolf and Werebear form.
This allows the druid to get through some Immune to Physical creatures by dealing a bit of fire damage. Though the number may not look great, the synergies really put a huge bump in the damage. Maxing any one of them gives you +440% damage, making the level 20 skill hit for roughly 2500 fire damage; maxing all the synergies gives you roughly 4.5k fire damage.
It is one of the few skills in game that gain synergies from skills of another Skill Tree. Even though most Elemental Skills cannot be cast in beast form, the real usefulness of this effect is immense.
Lore[]
While in his animal form, a Druid can use his affinity with the natural elements in order to supplement his attacks with a blazing assault.
