There are four main stats in Diablo 4 that each character has: Strength, Intelligence, Willpower, and Dexterity. Whether you are playing a solo adventure or teaming up with friends, these stats are vital to your character’s performance. All of your stats get a +1 boost until Level 50 where you start gaining Paragon Points. Your equipment benefits from Affixes, which can boost certain stats when equipped and boost your character’s abilities. Understanding each stat’s bonus helps you decide which equipment you should get, and what benefits you should look for.

Strength

Strength gives you +1 Armor per point and all classes experience this bonus. For unique class bonuses, Barbarians get 0.1% skill damage with every point of Strength to help their skills deal more damage. Rogues get 0.1% resource generation per point of Strength.

Dexterity

All classes get a 0.025% chance to dodge per point of Dexterity they have. For unique class bonuses, Barbarians and Sorceresses gain 0.02% critical strike chance with every point of Dexterity.

Intelligence

Every point of Intelligence gives 0.05% towards all resistances for all classes. Rogues get 0.02% critical strike chance with every point of Intelligence. Sorceresses gain 0.1% skill damage per point of Intelligence.

Willpower

Willpower grants 0.1% healing received and 0.25% overpower damage per point for all classes. Barbarians and Sorceresses gain 0.1% resource generation with every point of Willpower.

All PvP stats in Diablo 4 Explained

There are two stats that influence PvP battles in Diablo 4, which are PvP damage reduction and Armor Contribution. PvP damage reduction only affects damage reduction for PvP settings and does not apply to other parts of combat. However, that PvP damage reduction does stack with other damage reduction effects when in a PvP setting. Armor Contribution indicates how much your armor protects you against non-physical attacks in PvP settings. This won’t have much use in regular gameplay, but during PvP matches it can adequately protect you.
