Volcano is a Druid Skill in Diablo II.

Description

A Druid trained in this ability possesses the power to summon from the bowels of the earth a violent eruption, raining molten rock down upon all nearby foes.

General Information

Unlike Fissure, Volcano's damage is concentrated on the point of casting; the splash damage to nearby monsters is practically negligible. The general tactic is to somehow immobilize a monster. such as by diverting its attention with a mercenary or minion, and plant a volcano under it. As long as the monster stands in the same location, it will receive a majority of the damage. Once the monster moves, however, the damage it will receive from the volcano will be negligible.

Volcano cannot be cast too near an obstruction, such as a wall. It is best used in an open space with a mercenary or minion immobilizing the single target monster. Like Fissure, Firestorm, and Molten Boulder, it also can't be cast on areas not passable for the player, such as the void space in the Arcane Sanctuary, the lava areas of the River of Flame, or the frozen water of the Frozen River. Certain monster types that can pass through these areas can thus be difficult if not impossible to damage with these skills.
