Get the ultimate guide to what every stat and status effect in Diablo 4 actually means.

One of the most important RPG series has made a return, and that means there's an entire list of Diablo 4 terms and status effects to D4 items learn as you level up your favorite class in the demon-filled world of Sanctuary.

Diablo 4's loot has familiar primary character stats like strength and dexterity, which are helpfully explained if you scroll over them in your character window. All of the primary stats are useful for every class regardless of what kind of attacks they use, so you don't have to worry about wearing gear that doesn't help you at all.

Each class gets unique bonuses from those primary stats, which will gradually become more important as you make your way toward the endgame and start to refine your build. Certain stats are more valuable than others, so it's important to know exactly how they work so you know what kind of items to seek out.

Once you start to shape your build, you will run into Diablo 4's many status effects—the words that hover over you and your enemies when you use certain skills. These are essentially the backbone of how each class works and the skill trees are designed for you to invest in skills that cause or synergize with specific status effects, like Rogue attacks causing Vulnerable.

Whenever a skill or piece of gear involves that status effect the tooltip will explain it but certain effects, like crowd control, aren't as obviously explained by the game. I've put together a list to Diablo IV items explain Diablo 4's most important terms and status effects so you don't have to hunt around in the menus.
