In fact, I\u2019d even go so far as to say that this game is all about stats beneath all the swords, sorcery, blood, guts, and petals. So it\u2019s useful, but also difficult, to understand what they all mean. The stats tab on your character screen divides stats into six categories: Currency, Core Stats, Offensive, Defensive, Utility, and PvP. But there are also item stats to be considered. There are in-game explanations for every individual stat, but for the purposes of this guide, I\u2019m going to focus on the core stats, character stats, and item stats because those are the ones that apply to every character in every situation. Diablo 4 core stats explained Level Everything in Diablo 4 has a level, including your character, and your character\u2019s level is a general indicator of how much you\u2019ve progressed and how powerful you are. Each time you earn enough Experience to level up, you get increases to your other core stats and your Life, plus a skill point to spend. Beyond level 50, you get Paragon Points instead of Skill Points. Strength Strength increases Armor for all classes, Resource Generation for Rogues, and Skill Damage for Barbarians. Intelligence Intelligence increases all resistances for all classes, Critical Strike Chance for Rogues, and Skill Damage for Sorcerers. Willpower Willpower increases Healing Received and Overpower Damage for all classes, and for Barbarians and Sorcerers, it increases Resource Generation. Dexterity Dexterity increases Dodge Chance for all classes, Skill Damage for rogues, and Critical Strike Chance for Barbarians and Sorcerers. Diablo 4 character stats explained Attack Power There are 21 different Offensive stats in Diablo 4 and Attack Power acts as a kind of summary of all of them. It\u2019s not a stat with a specific meaning, but rather a value that indicates how much damage you do in general. If you\u2019re having trouble deciding between two closely matched weapons, then swap between them and see how the change impacts your Attack Power. Although remember that some weapons have benefits that don\u2019t necessarily impact Attack Power. Armor This is the total Armor value of your five equipped armor items plus the bonus you get from your Strength stat. The higher it is, the more resistant you are to physical damage. Life This is your health or HP. If you take more damage than you have Life, then you die. It\u2019s indicated by the number on your character tab and by the red circle in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Diablo 4 item stats explained Item Power Item Power is a general indicator of how powerful an item is, calculated based on its basic stats and on the effects of its affixes (its buffs, basically). And if you really want to dig deep into Item Power, there is quite a little more to it. Sell Value This is the amount of gold you\u2019ll get if you sell the item to a trader. Like Item Power, it also gives you a good general indication of how good an item is. Durability Unlike in many games, items in Diablo 4 don\u2019t use Durability through general use. Instead, every time you die, your equipped items lose 10 Durability. This isn\u2019t an issue unless and until they reach zero Durability, at which point they break and can no longer be used. Fortunately, any blacksmith can repair any item and restore its Durability to 100. Armor Every armor item has an Armor value, which contributes to your character\u2019s overall Armor stat (see above). The higher an item\u2019s Armor value, the better it protects you from physical damage. Damage Per Second (DPS) Damage Per Second is the amount of damage a weapon does per second if you\u2019re attacking continuously with it (i.e. holding the basic attack button down). It\u2019s calculated based on Damage per Hit and Attacks per Second. It\u2019s an important stat because you usually are attacking constantly in Diablo 4, and it\u2019s handy that the game automatically tells you which weapons have the best balance of power and speed. But remember that you\u2019ll also be using abilities a lot, and these have stats of their own, so sometimes a weapon\u2019s affixes will be more impactful than its Damage per Second.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Diablo_4_stats.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886468"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=886468"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886468\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1474802,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886468\/revisions\/1474802"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/886476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=886468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=886468"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=886468"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=886468"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=886468"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=886468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
