The value that monster health is multiplied by is applied as a divisor for the crushing blow. Many players find that Crushing blows are one of the fastest ways to kill act bosses and Uber bosses.Ĭrushing blows are less effective with more players in a game. However, it is not limited to a maximum of 50% health reduction in hell like static field is. This effect is similar to that of Static Field in that it is most effective when the target is at high life, and becomes less and less useful as the target's health decreases. However, it follows different rules versus different targets according to this table: The basic effect of a Crushing Blow is to reduce the current remaining Life of the target by 1/4 for melee, and 1/8 for ranged.

This health reduction occurs before the damage of the swing is dealt. If it is chosen to happen, the attack's target has its heath reduced by a measured percentage.

The game will roll for the chance for the mechanic to occur on every eligible melee or ranged attack. Crushing Blow is a Diablo II combat mechanic that appears as a Chance on Hit mod on several Unique, Set or Rune Word items.
