This powerful woman warrior belongs to nomadic bands who roam the plains near the South Sea. The wandering of these groups often brings them into conflict with other peoples, so the Amazon is accustomed to fighting to defend her own. This lifestyle has made her fiercely independent and able to weather severe hardship and travel. While her skill with the bow rivals that of the Rogues, the Amazon is also adept in the use of spears and other throwing weapons, as well as in hand to hand combat. The Amazon is much sought after as a mercenary, in which she will be loyal as long as her own ends are also served.
Gems are a new and unique feature to Diablo II, gems once socketed into armor or weapons can be a huge advantage to the players character. Once socketed into the item the gems make the once none magical weapon magical adding special capabilities to that item. Throughout the game you will find a total of seven different gems, Amethysts, Diamonds, Emeralds, Rubies, Sapphires, Skull Gems and Topazes. Each of these gems have a capability of being in five levels of quality, chipped, flawed, normal, flawless and perfect.

To increase the quality of your gems the player must find Gem Shrines, if used one gem is randomly selected and upgrades the quality of the gem. If the player does not posses a gem they are given a chipped gem. Additional gem shrines are very rare and are randomly placed in Diablo II. Unlike other items in Diablo II these gems cannot be bought from a NPC and can only be found or bought from another player in the game.
