Local vs Base

I think some discussion about the difference between local and base adjustments should be included, as that wording is fairly confusing. TheRabbit 15:12, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Local vs Base distinction / short explanation. Glowyrm 08:01, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

There are some modifiers that have both Local and Base adjustments. For example "of Calm" has +5–15 accuracy and +5–15 local accuracy. Do these values add together? It seems logical that +5 base accuracy will affect every attack including the originating item. -AnnanFay (talk) 16:35, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Item Slots

Maybe not on this exact page, I'm not sure where really, but I think it would be a great resource to be able to see what item slots can spawn what affixes. This would help when deciding what gear to upgrade from Normal to Magic or what Magic items to reroll the affixes on with Orbs. For example, can run Movement Speed affixes roll on other slots besides Boots? (Besides Uniques). Glowyrm 08:03, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Confusing Item Modifiers

I am realizing that this page is massively out of date. I would like to update it, but I am confused about how some modifiers are listed.

For example, on Prefixes under Evasion, there is a mod called Dancer's. There are three stats listed for Dancers:

Level	Stat	Value
18	Base Evasion Rating	11–35
19	Evasion Rating +%	5–7
18	Local Base Evasion Rating	11–35

What is actually indicated by this? Does it mean that the Dancer's prefix gives all three of those stats? If so, what is the distinction between base evasion rating and local base evasion rating?

I made a forum thread on this subject. So far, no one has responded. I wanted to see if anyone here knows anything about it.

They appear on different item types. The first two will only appear on non-armour pieces such as rings and belts, while the third (local) one will only appear on armour that naturally has evasion as part of its base defense. Malice (talk) 08:07, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Split up the page

If there are no objections I'd like to split this page up into:

• Item affix
• Flask affix
• Map affix

I would also create a Monster affix page, and have an Affix landing page that introduces the concept of affixes in general for non-ARPG vets, and links to the more specific pages. Such a page would be a good place to distinguish between affixes and modifiers, which are different things mechanically but often confused. Malice (talk) 08:14, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
