Skills synergize with each other, passively enhancing other skills, usually in the same tree. This means that in order to get Fire Claws, one must already have at least one skill point in both Feral Rage and Maul. For example, in the image to the right, Fire Claws has arrows pointing to it from Feral Rage and Maul. Any skill on the tree that points to another skill is a prerequisite. Some skills have one or more arrows pointing to them. The second row has a level requirement of 6, with each following row's level requirement increasing by 6, up to 30 for the bottom row. The first (top) row of skills are available as soon as the character is created. The row indicates the level requirement to acquire the skill. Clicking on the tab will take player to the corresponding skill tree. In Diablo II, it has three tabs at the right side. Buffs are applied manually, but once cast, provide only passive benefits to the player, and do not need to be cast in combat (except for refreshing their duration, which is usually long enough to survive all but longest battles without recasting it).Auras, Laws, Mantras and other similar traits often have a passive effect, but can be activated manually to receive an extra temporary bonus, usually once in a while.Active / Passive: these skills combine traits of both active and passive.The bonus may either be permanent, or trigger at certain point (such as Life falling beneath a certain threshold). Passive: do not need to be activated once selected or learned, will always provide their benefit.

Most summoned creatures disappear if their master dies, and may be killed by enemy attacks. Summon: creates a minion, pet, construct or any other independent entity which will fight on player's behalf.Usually the skill is maintained by holding the cast button continuously. Channeled: must not only be activated, but also maintained for the entire duration, most other actions (especially movement) being unavailable while doing so.Active: most numerous skill category to get an effect, the skill must be activated manually, usually one cast per trigger.They can be divided by the degree of action required to use them: There are many ways to categorize skills, such as by Elemental Damage type, by being tied to certain game mechanics, etc. A skill can only be used when learned (equipped or invested skill points into), and the total number of skills character may have at a time is limited (unlike the first game, where one could, in theory, learn all spells that exist in the game world).
