↖ PoE Class Basics

Breaking the RPG Mold: In this RPG, classes do not restrict skill acquisition or weapon selection. It's all about what suits you.

 

↖ The Root of All Builds

• Attributes Make the Character: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence. These are more than mere numbers as they have a bearing on how you can build your character. The kind of gems and weapons that are compatible with you depend on your strength.
• Location, Location, Location: Where your class sits on the tree impacts its strengths. Marauders (bottom left) are life-based tanks, Rangers (bottom right) focus on dexterity and bow skills while Witches (top) rely heavily on intelligence and energy shield.

Strength	Dexterity	Intellingence
2 Strength = 1 Max Life	2 Dexterity = 2 Accuracy	2 Intellingence = 1 Mana
5 Strength = 1% Increased Melee Damage	5 Dexterity = 1% Increased Evasion	5 Intelligence = 1% Increased Energy Shield
