Game Mechanics

All Damage Reduction

All Damage Reduction provides additional damage reduction after factoring in your Armor and Resistances. However, it should be noted that damage reduction does not stack additively. Instead, it stacks multiplicatively. For instance, if you have two sources with 50% damage reduction each, your total damage reduction would be 75%. Achieving 100% damage reduction is impossible due to this multiplicative stacking.

Armor

Armor is calculated by summing up the Armor ratings of your Chest, Pants, Gloves, Boots, and Helm. Other items, such as Jewellery with socketed Skulls, can also provide additional Armor. Armor reduces the damage taken from Physical damage, including physical damage over time effects like Bleed. Moreover, it also partially reduces non-physical damage, with 50% of your damage reduction from Armor contributing to your overall non-physical damage reduction.

However, in higher Difficulties/World Tiers, Armor becomes less effective against non-physical damage. At T4 difficulty, Armor is only 10% effective against non-physical sources, making Resistances a crucial aspect of defense. It’s important to note that the cap for damage reduction from Armor is 85%, and on average, you can expect about 40% overall damage reduction from Armor at higher levels.

The effectiveness of Armor is also influenced by the level of your enemy. Higher-level enemies reduce the effectiveness of your Armor, making it less reliable against stronger foes.

Attack Power

Attack power does not directly reflect the actual damage you deal but rather serves as an estimate of your overall power in the game.

Attack Speed

Attack speed is based on your weapon’s attacks per second and any attack speed bonuses you may have. When dual-wielding, the average speed of your two weapons is used. Attack speed bonuses are additive, so if you have two sources of 10% faster attack speed, your total bonus will be 20%.

Barrier

Barrier is a temporary protective layer that absorbs damage until it is depleted, after which you start taking damage to your life. It is visually represented by a blue glowing effect around your Health Globe. Different classes have different ways of generating Barrier, and it plays a crucial role in several builds.

Basic Skills

Basic Skills are the default attacks for each class. These skills don’t require resources or have cooldowns and are usually used to generate resources or as a primary attack.

Berserking

Barbarians have access to the Berserking buff, which provides a 25% damage increase and a 15% movement speed increase. This powerful buff lasts for up to 5 seconds and can be triggered by certain Barbarian skills. Building a character around Berserking can lead to formidable and devastating builds.

Bleed

Bleed is a damage-over-time effect that deals physical damage over a period of time.

Blood Orb

The Blood Orb is a unique mechanic for the Necromancer class. Blood Orbs are automatically consumed when you come into contact with them on the battlefield, healing you for 15% of your maximum life.

Bludgeoning

Bludgeoning damage is a specific type of damage dealt by mace-type weapons. Passive skills and abilities may provide bonuses to bludgeoning damage.

Burning

Burning is a damage-over-time effect that deals fire damage over a period of time. Bonuses to fire damage can amplify the burning effect.

Channeled Skills

Channeled skills are casting skills that require you to hold down the attack button to continuously cast the skill.

Chill

Chill is a crowd control effect that reduces the movement speed of enemies. Repeatedly chilling an enemy can eventually freeze them. Chill effects are typically caused by cold damage.

Close and Distant Enemies

In Diablo 4, enemies can be classified as either Close or Distant. Close range refers to a range slightly further than melee range.

Control Impaired

Control Impaired refers to the state of being affected by crowd control effects such as Immobilize, Stun, Knockback, Knockdown, Taunt, Fear, Tether, Daze, Chill, or Freeze. Control Impaired Duration Reduction reduces the duration of crowd control effects except for Knockback, which is applied instantaneously.

Cooldown

Cooldown is a mechanic present in many skills, and it refers to the period of time before a skill becomes available for use again. Cooldown reduction can decrease the duration of this cooldown time. It’s important to note that cooldown reduction stacks multiplicatively, meaning that two items with 10% CDR each will result in a 19% reduction in cooldown time.

Core Skills

Core Skills are the second branch of skills on your skill tree. These skills consume resources and usually deal more damage than Basic Skills. Most builds utilize both a Basic Skill and a Core Skill to optimize their damage output.

Core Stats

Core Stats are the primary attributes in Diablo 4: Strength, Intelligence, Willpower, and Dexterity. Each class has a main stat that affects them the most and serves as a damage multiplier. Strength primarily affects Barbarians, Intelligence boosts damage for Sorcerers, Willpower enhances overpower damage for all classes, and Dexterity plays a role in dodge chance and critical hit chance for multiple classes.

Crackling Energy

Crackling Energy is a unique mechanic for some Sorcerer Lightning Spells. When using these spells, small globes of lightning called Crackling Energy may spawn. Walking over Crackling Energy allows you to collect it, stacking up to 20 charges. As long as you have Crackling Energy, you will automatically zap nearby enemies for damage, consuming one stack per zap. Some builds are centered around Crackling Energy mechanics, offering additional benefits such as mana regeneration.

Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Damage

Critical Strike Chance refers to the probability of dealing bonus damage with an attack. When a critical strike occurs, yellow damage numbers are displayed. Critical Strike Chance is additive, meaning that two items with 5% crit chance each will result in a total of 10% crit chance. Critical Strike Damage determines the bonus damage when critical strikes occur. It is also additive, so having two sources of 50% crit damage each will result in 100% crit damage. Critical Strike Damage is always multiplicative with other damage bonuses.

Crowd Control

Crowd Control effects refer to various crowd control conditions that can be applied to enemies. These effects include Slow, Immobilize, Stun, Knockback, Knockdown, Taunt, Fear, Tether, Daze, Chill, or Freeze. It’s important to note that crowd control effects cannot be applied to Bosses.

Crowd Control Duration Bonus

Crowd Control Duration Bonus increases the duration of your crowd control effects, excluding Knockback, which is instantaneous.

Damage (Buckets) and Damage over Time (DoT)

Damage in Diablo 4 is divided into different buckets, and each bucket serves as a multiplicative damage bonus to any other bucket. If you have two damage buckets, each providing double damage, you will deal quadrupled damage. Within a specific bucket, all damage sources are additive. For example, having two +100% damage sources within the same bucket will result in 300% damage. Spreading your damage across multiple buckets is beneficial for overall damage amplification. Damage over Time (DoT) refers to damage spread out over a period of time, with different DoT sources stacking and dealing damage independently.

Dazed

Dazed is a crowd control condition that renders enemies unable to attack or use skills.

Dexterity

Dexterity contributes to dodge chance and serves as a key attribute for certain classes. Barbarians and Sorcerers can benefit from increased critical hit chance by having higher dexterity.

Distant

Distant refers to enemies that are not in close proximity. If an enemy is not within melee range, it is considered distant.

Dodge Chance

Dodge chance allows you to avoid incoming damage. However, dodge chance has diminishing returns, and two sources of 10% dodge chance will result in a total of 19% dodge chance. It’s important to note that damage over time effects cannot be dodged.

Dual-wielding

When dual-wielding, the attack speed and damage of your weapons are averaged. All affixes on your dual-wielded weapons still apply.

Fear

Fear is a crowd control effect that causes enemy monsters to flee. Feared monsters are unable to attack and will run away from you.

Fortify

Fortify grants a 10% damage reduction when your Fortify value is equal to or greater than your current life. Certain skills and items can provide Fortify. It’s important to note that Fortify cannot exceed your total life.

Frozen

Frozen is a crowd control state that renders enemies unable to act. If a frozen enemy is killed, it shatters and cannot be resurrected by other monsters. Frozen enemies are also considered chilled.

Healthy

Being at or above 80% of your maximum life qualifies as being healthy. A red line around your health globe indicates your healthy state.

Immobilize

Immobilize is a crowd control effect that prevents enemies from moving while still allowing them to attack and use abilities.

Immune

Immune refers to a state in which an enemy cannot be damaged or affected by crowd control.

Injured

Being injured implies having less than 35% of your maximum life.

Intelligence

Intelligence provides 0.5% resistance to all elements per point. In addition, Intelligence boosts damage for Sorcerers and critical hit chance for Rogues.

Key Passive

Key Passives are the final nodes on your skill tree. Each class has multiple Key Passives to choose from, but you can only select one. These skills are generally powerful and can significantly shape your build.

Knockback and Knockdown

Knockback and Knockdown are crowd control effects. Knockback instantly pushes the target away from the attacker, while Knockdown makes the target fall down, rendering them unable to move or act.

Level

Every time you level up in Diablo 4, your life and core stats increase. Additionally, you earn Skill Points up to level 50 and Paragon Points beyond that. Level difference between you and a monster can result in damage reduction.

Life

Life represents your hit points. Taking damage reduces your life, and reaching zero life will result in death.

Lucky Hit

Lucky Hit, also known as Proc chance, refers to the chance of triggering a fortunate event when hitting an enemy. A lucky hit itself doesn’t do anything but provides an opportunity to trigger a lucky hit effect. These effects can be obtained from skills, items, or passives. For example, a lucky hit effect might include cooldown reduction on one of your skills. Lucky Hit Chance from various sources is additive, so multiple items with 5% lucky hit chance will grant you a total lucky hit chance of 20%.

Movement Speed

Movement speed in Diablo 4 is capped at 200%. Having higher movement speed allows you to travel faster in the game world.

Overpower

Overpower is a unique mechanic that has a 3% chance to trigger extra damage when hitting an enemy. Overpower hits are represented by light blue damage numbers. Crits that are also Overpowered are represented by dark orange damage numbers. The base Overpower damage is an additional 50% damage. Overpower damage is further boosted by adding your current life and any Fortify you have. Willpower provides buffs to overpower damage for all classes. It’s important to note that Overpower cannot affect damage over time, channeled skills, or passive abilities.

Physical Damage

Physical damage refers to the damage type dealt by various weapons, including physical damage over time such as Bleed.

Poisoning and Poison Resistance

Poisoning refers to damage over time caused by poison. It should not be confused with base poison damage, which is applied instantly. Poison resistance reduces the amount of damage taken from poison sources.

Potion Capacity

Potion Capacity determines the number of charges you can store in your potion inventory. It can be increased through items or progression in the Renown system.

Renown

Renown is a system that rewards you for completing activities in different regions of the game. Each region has its own separate Renown track, offering valuable rewards such as skill points, potion charges, and Paragon Points.

Resistance

There are five types of resistance in Diablo 4: fire, cold, lightning, poison, and shadow. Resistance reduces the damage taken from these elemental sources, including both instant and damage over time effects.

Slashing

Slashing damage is a specific damage type associated with certain Barbarian skills and weapon types.

Slow and Chill

Slow and Chill are crowd control effects that decrease movement speed for a short duration. It’s important to note that Slow and Chill are separate effects.

Stagger

Bosses in Diablo 4 are immune to crowd control effects and have a Stagger Bar instead. Once the Stagger Bar is filled, the boss becomes staggered and is considered under the effect of all crowd control effects for the duration of the stagger. World Bosses have unique additional effects applied when staggered.

Stealth

Stealth grants immunity to direct targeting by enemies. While under the effects of Stealth, certain Rogue abilities can be used or benefited from.

Strength

Strength contributes to your Armor, with each point of strength providing one point of armor. Additionally, strength increases damage for Barbarians and resource generation for Rogues.

Stun

Stun is a crowd control effect that renders enemies unable to move, attack, or use any abilities.

Taunt

Taunt is another crowd control effect that forces the target to attack the caster for a short period of time.

Tether

Tether is a crowd control effect that prevents a creature from straying outside a specific radius.

Thorns

Thorns refers to damage that is dealt back to the attacker when you are hit.

Ultimate Skills

Ultimate Skills are powerful skills with long cooldowns, usually around a minute. These skills provide significant effects and can be a crucial part of your build. However, you can only select one Ultimate Skill.

Unstoppable

Unstoppable makes you immune to crowd control effects and instantly breaks any active crowd control on you. Having an Unstoppable skill on your skill bar can save you from certain death. Elite monsters become unstoppable after enduring multiple crowd control effects, indicated by a broken chain icon above them.

Vulnerable

Vulnerable is a condition that can be applied to enemies, as well as yourself. When an enemy is vulnerable, they take 20% increased damage. Building gear, skills, or passives around damage to vulnerable enemies can enhance your overall damage output. When you are vulnerable, your health globe shatters, and vulnerable enemies have a purple glow around their health bar.

Weapon Speed

Weapon Speed refers to the attacks per second of your weapons without any bonuses applied.

Willpower

Willpower grants increased healing received per point and enhances overpower damage for all classes. It also contributes to resource generation for Barbarians and Sorcerers.
