Attribute Design[edit | edit source]
All attributes have changed since their original conception. In December 2010 Bashiok made an announcement about these changes[1]:
- This stat will be a universal damage increasing stat for all classes to prevent confusion about what you should increase to do more damage.
- We realize that ‘Attack’ is less flavorful than ‘Strength’ and ‘Willpower’, but we feel the pros of understanding clearly how to build your character outweigh that con.
- This stat has no secondary effects.
Attribute points are no longer assigned by the player; they are auto-assigned. See the relevant section in the attributes article.
Development[edit | edit source]
Originally, Attack was called Strength and governed a character's damage, armor rating, and blocking percentage.
1 point of Strength gave: (based on Class)
Since the attribute overhaul in 2012[2], Attack was removed from the game and replaced with Strength.
Damage bonus stat is now divided between other new core attributes: Strength (Barbarian), Dexterity (Demon Hunter & Monk) and Intelligence (Witch Doctor & Wizard).
