Augments are items which can be placed into Augment sockets, usually on Equipment items. Once socketed, they can be replaced by other Augments, but cannot be removed by normal means. The types of Equipment which an Augment can be placed into and the corresponding benefit provided are listed on the item.

Armour reduces Damage taken from Hits. By default, Armour only applies to Physical Damage. Damage reduction from Armour is proportional to the amount of Damage, and is more effective at reducing smaller hits.

Any damage that isn't damage over time is Hit damage. Damaging Ailments which result from a Hit will calculate their damage from that Hit, and will not subsequently have Damage modifiers applied directly to them. As a result of this, raising Hit Damage will result in more powerful Damaging Ailments innately.
