    • When stamina is twice your wisdom, stamina will increase the effect of healing, to a lesser degree than the equivalent amount of wisdom would

  • Increases total mana
• Intelligence
  • Primary stat for offensive spell damage
  • Increases the base damage of your spells, weapon procs and clickable items
• Charisma
  • Increases your base melee, spell and healing amounts at a factor less than the values of the primary stats
  • Increases hitpoints and mana to a larger degree than most (all?) other attributes.

Stat Scaling

The effects of attributes are in most cased, based on the flat amount of a given stat. However, in some cases, scaling is based on the relative amount of that stat compared to everything else.

As an example of relative scaling, haste from agility scales with how much of your character's total stats are in agility, and not a flat amount. For example, a character with 100 total stats and 90 of them in agility (90% agility), will have more agility haste than a character with 100,000 total stats and 5,000 of them agility (5% agility).
