Game term definitionsPrepared source definitions referenced by this item
Augment

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

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.

Evasion

Evasion Rating grants a chance to Evade enemy Hits, preventing them from Hitting you at all. Exact chance to Evade also depends on the attacker's Accuracy.

Energy Shield

Energy Shield protects your Life by taking damage instead. Rapidly Recharges if you don't lose Energy Shield for a short time. Chaos damage removes twice as much Energy Shield. Damage from Bleeding and Poison bypasses Energy Shield to remove Life directly.
