Character Skills

"content": "## Character Skills Guide for Diablo III

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of all playable classes and their skills in Diablo III: Reaper of Souls (including the Necromancer). Each class has a unique set of active and passive skills, with multiple rune variations that alter effects. Skills are unlocked as you level up; you can assign up to 6 active skills and 4 passive skills at a time. Understanding each skill's mechanics, cooldowns, resource costs, and synergies is essential for effective combat and build optimization.
