Strength

Strength is one of the core attributes for characters in Diablo III. It governs how much Armor a character has and increases Barbarian's damage dealt.

Each point of Strength gives:

• +x to Armor.
• +x to Barbarian's damage.

DevelopmentEdit

Before the first attribute changes in 2010, Strength was one of the core stats, just as it was in Diablo I and Diablo II.

Strength governed a character's damage, armor rating, and blocking percentage.

1 point of Strength gave: (based on Class)

• +x% Melee and Ranged Physical Damage Bonus
• +x% Armor Bonus
• +x% Block Amount

Strength was replaced with Attack in 2010's attribute changes.

After the second attribute overhaul in 2012, Strength made a comeback, replacing Attack as one of the core attributes.
