Skill Overview

The info here is based on the changelogs for each skill, which may include more details. The Portal Skill Planner may also be useful for comparing vanilla & PD2 skills.

In addition to the skill changes listed here, all characters also gain access to the "Move Only" skill, which simply makes them walk/run toward a location without attacking.

Summon AI has been improved across the board, and the delay before summoned minions perform actions has been reduced.

Assassin

Martial Arts

Charge-up skills reworked

• Instead of charges being generated one-at-a-time per charge-up attack and the effects only applying when consumed by a finishing move or normal attack:
• Charge-up attacks immediately apply the attacks' effect of the appropriate stage (1-3) and generate charges until the character has that many charges of the attacks' type. Charges are "shared" between charge-up attacks so the first attack will apply a stage 1 effect and generate 1 charge, the second attack will apply a stage 2 effect and generate 1-2 charges, and the third attack will apply a stage 3 effect before the charges are reset and the cycle repeats.
• Since charges are reset after the 3rd attack rather than before the first attack of the next cycle, it's impossible to have 3 charges of any single type; to get 3 charges, they must be of different types. A finishing move can be used at any point to consume the charges as usual.
