PoE Attribute Requirements

In Path of Exile, attribute requirements play a crucial role in equipping items and using skill gems. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know:

Attributes:

  • Strength (STR): Increases melee damage and physical armor.
  • Dexterity (DEX): Increases attack speed, projectile damage, evasion, and critical strike chance.
  • Intelligence (INT): Increases energy shield, spell damage, and spell critical strike chance.

Requirements:

  • Most equipment (weapons, armor, accessories) have attribute requirements listed in their stats (e.g., Requires Level 30, 100 STR, 150 DEX).
  • Each skill gem also has attribute requirements, displayed when hovering over the gem.
  • You must meet or exceed the listed requirements to equip an item or use a skill gem.

Additional factors:

  • Attribute points: Gained while leveling up and allocated on the passive skill tree. Invest points to reach required attribute values.
  • Gear with reduced attribute requirements: Certain items can lower the requirements for specific attributes, allowing you to equip gear beyond your base attribute values.
  • Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence nodes: Investing in these nodes on the passive skill tree also provides passive bonuses depending on the attribute chosen.

Here are some key questions to consider:

  • What build are you playing? Different builds prioritize different attributes based on their needs.
  • Are you struggling to meet attribute requirements? Consider adjusting your passive skill tree allocation or acquiring gear with reduced requirements.
  • How can you optimize your attributes for your build? Balancing attribute investment with other important stats like damage, life, and resistances is crucial.
