Character Stats

**Character Stats** are Modifiers that Characters posses which affect the way they are handled in Combat Calculations or other interactions with the game environment.

## Interface

The character stats window displays all of the character stats. Hovering over a stat will give a brief description and any formulas associated with the stat.

## Experience

Reflects the amount of Experience that a Character has earned at the current level.

## Level

*Main article:* Levels

Character levels are gained by earning Experience up to level 100.

### Base Level Unlocks

* +8 Health and +1 Health Gained on Potion Use per level

## Character State

The Character State is defined by the stats in the top right corner of the Character Stats window.

* Health
* Mana
* Health Regeneration
* Mana Regeneration

## Armor and Protections

Protections are used in Combat Calculations to determine the amount of damage mitigated for each of the Damage Types they are hit by. The percent of damage mitigated for each protection is based on the formula:

***Amount of Protection / (|Amount of Protection| + Total Health Pool)***

* Total Health pool refers to the sum of Health+Ward
* Armor is a protection against Physical Damage
* Lightning Protection is a protection against Lightning Damage
* Cold Protection is a protection against Cold Damage
* Fire Protection is a protection against Fire Damage
* Elemental Protection is added to Cold Protection, Fire Protection, and Lightning Protection
* Void Protection is a protection against Void Damage
* Necrotic Protection is a protection against Necrotic Damage
* Poison Protection is a protection against Poison Damage

### Additional Defenses

* Block Chance is the chance to block a hit, which does not negate the hit's damage. See below for what happens on block
* Block Effectiveness is added to armor and protections on a successful Block.
* Dodge is the chance to fully negate a hit and is scaled down by area level
* Stun Avoidance is added to a character's maximum Health to determine the chance that a character is stunned by a hit
* Chance to Receive a Glancing Blow is the chance that when a hit lands on a character, it will only deliver half its damage
* Ward Retention affects the rate at which Ward decays over time

## Damage Stats

### Attack and Cast Rates

Attack and Cast Rates increase the rate at which Skills can be used- both by reducing the duration of their animations and by reducing the time between successive uses.

* Melee Attack Speed
* Throwing Attack Speed
* Cast Speed

#### Attack and Cast Rate Formula

***Attack/Cast Rate = (Base Animation Speed) x [ 1+(Cast Speed/Melee Attack Speed/Throwing Attack Speed)]***

Critical Strikes are modifiers used during Combat Calculations which determines the random chance of a hit dealing more damage.

* Melee Critical Strike Chance
* Critical Strike Chance
* Critical Strike Multiplier

### Other

* Increased Damage Over Time
* Basic Attack DPS is a calculation of the Damage Per Second (DPS) that your character will deal using the Attack base skill.

#### Damage Formula

All stats which Increase or Reduce the damage are additive. Each modifier is added together and the final amount is multiplied by the base damage.

***Damage Dealt = (Increase Modifier + Increase Modifier - Reduce Modifier) x (Base)***
