Strength, dexterity and intelligence gate your gear and scale many skills. More attributes unlock better gear and power.
Why this matters
Attribute requirements stop you equipping the best gear, so meeting them matters.
Step-by-step
- Take attribute nodes on the passive tree.
- Equip gear that grants strength, dexterity or intelligence.
- Use +all-attributes mods when available.
- Meet requirements before chasing the highest item tier.
- Level up — each level grants base attributes.
- Rebalance if you swap in higher-requirement gear.
Key tips
- Take attribute nodes
- Use +all-attributes gear
- Meet gear requirements
- Every level adds base attributes
Common mistakes
- Ignoring gear requirements
- Over-investing in one attribute
- Forgetting level-ups add attributes
Practical notes
Attributes gate your gear and gems, so meet requirements through the tree, gear, and attribute jewels. Path through nodes that grant the attribute your build needs instead of wasting points.
Use rings and amulets with added attributes to free passive points. A Gemling or attribute-stacking build turns this into power. Balance requirements against damage, because over-investing in attributes starves your offense.
Use rings and amulets with added attributes to free passive points, and avoid over-investing attributes at the cost of damage.
Use rings and amulets with added attributes to free passive points, and avoid over-investing attributes at the direct cost of your damage scaling.
Balance attribute requirements against damage so you never starve your offense to meet a gate.
