Shadow Master | Diablo 2 Wiki | Effects, Stats, Skill Tree and Synergies

Shadow Master is an Assassin Skill in Diablo 2. Shadow Master is part of the Shadow Disciplines Skill Tree and requires level 30 to be unlocked. Skills usually define a character's playstyle and are divided by Class and Skill Tree. Some Skills have synergies, which provide benefits to other skills on the same Skill Tree.

 

This discipline allows an Assassin to project an even more powerful shadow avatar.
The Shadow Master has access to all of the Assassin skills.

 

Shadow Master Information

Effect

• Summon a Powerful Shadow of yourself to fight by your side. 
• Cast Delay: 0.6 seconds Before Patch 2.4 was 6 seconds
• The Shadow Master has Resistances when compared to the Shadow Warrior. Most players choose the Shadow Master for play past level 30 although the Shadow Warrior offers more control over which skills and spells she casts.

• Shadow Masters have a base strength and dexterity equal to their level * 10. The skills a Shadow Master casts have the skill-level equal to half her skill-level +1.
• You can either have a Shadow Master or a Shadow Warrior.
• Resistances of the Shadow Master do not suffer from the penalties in Nightmare and Hell difficulty. Furthermore, they are not capped at 75%. Hence, it's possible to get the Shadow Master immune against elemental attacks.
• The Skills a Shadow Master uses are: Cloak of Shadows (rarely), Mindblast, Fade, Burst of Speed, Death Sentry [some Martial Arts and other traps]

Important Note: With the release of Patch 2.4 this skill has suffered some changes:

• Casting Delay will no longer share its cooldown with other skills that have Casting Delays

• Tooltip updated to now display Casting Delay
