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.

Strength is an Attribute required to equip most equipment that grants Armour, as well as various melee-aligned Weapons and Skills. Strength provides an inherent bonus of +2 to maximum Life per 1 Strength. Strength does not grant damage to Skills or any other benefits except where specifically stated.

Physical damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is the most common and the only one reduced by Armour, rather than by a Resistance. Most physical damage comes from Weapon Attacks, but some Spells and other skills deal physical damage as well. Physical damage over time can be inflicted with Bleeding.

Attacks are skills that directly damage enemies, usually using your equipped Martial Weapon. Spells are not Attacks. The base damage, attack speed and critical hit chance of an attack are determined using your Martial Weapon's stats unless the skill says otherwise. Attacks do not necessarily deal Physical damage — they can deal any damage type.

Fire damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is reduced by Fire Resistance. Fire Hits inflict Flammability based on how much Fire damage is dealt, which provides a chance to Ignite.

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.
