Passive and Magic Skills in Diablo 2 are one of the skills trees the Amazon has at her disposal, the others being Bow and Crossbow Skills and Javelin and Spear Skills.
This tree focuses mainly on passive skills that grant the Amazon, and sometimes her party, buffs and benefits such as improved critical chance or the chance to dodge enemy attacks.
Important Note: With the release of Patch 2.4 these skills has suffered some changes:
General Modifications:
- Added some quality-of-life changes to certain Passive and Magic Skills
- Inner Sight and Slow Missiles radius improved.
- For Dodge and Avoid, the animation can now be interrupted and will no longer lock out the Amazon from performing other actions
