Keyword

Keywords are words or phrases with Path of Exile-specific mechanical significance. When appearing in modifier text, they are always capitalized. For words with everyday meanings, like "double", "triple", and "recently", capitalized instances are keywords and follow strict in-game definitions, while non-capitalized instances refer to the everyday definition.

Ailments

Ailments are a type of debuff associated and applied by one or more damage types. Ailments normally distinguish themselves from other debuffs by being applied by hits, which allows them to check conditions on the enemy, and vary their effect or duration based on damage instead of having a predetermined value from a skill or modifier.

Frozen, ignited, and shocked are the default ailments of cold, fire, and lightning damage respectively. Critical strikes with those elements have a 100% chance to deal their respective ailments. Brittle, scorched, and sapped are the respective alternate ailments.

Curses

Curses are a category of debuff classified into two categories: Hexes and Marks.

Curse limit

By default, one curse can be active at a time on a target. While a curse is active, applying a different curse on the same target will expire the oldest curse. Different targets can have different curses applied by the same player, without the curses being lifted from the others. You can apply an additional Curse can increase this limit.

Hexes

Hexes are a type of curse characterized by being able to be applied to multiple targets.

Marks

Marks are a type of curse characterized by only applying to single targets. Marks will not expire through duration.

Each character can only place a mark on one target at any time. This limit is shared between all mark skills. If you applied a mark on an enemy and then apply any mark skill again, the previous mark will expire. Moving a great distance away from the marked target will also expire the mark.

Damage sources

All damage originates from one of four sources.

Attack

Attacks are a category of skills characterized by the attacker trying to hit their target with their weapon, while unarmed, or with projectiles fired directly from their weapon (bows and wands). If the damage does not involve an attacker trying to hit with any of the previous methods, it is an attack. Attacks have a chance to be evaded, determined by the defender's evasion rating and the attacker's accuracy. Unlike spells, attacks will always try to deal damage.

Spell

Spells are the set of all skills that are not attacks; they do not involve the attacker trying to hit their target with their weapon, while unarmed, or with projectiles fired directly from their weapon (bows and wands). Unlike attacks, many spells do not deal damage. Spell damage cannot miss.

Secondary

Secondary damage is a category of damage characterized by being difficult to scale due to being neither attack nor spell damage. Explosions, damage dealt by heralds, and self-damage dealt through items like Heartbound LoopHeartbound Loop
Moonstone RingRequires Level 20+(15-25) to maximum Energy ShieldRegenerate (10-15) Life per second

A curious paradox."
- Shavronne of Umbra are examples of secondary damage.

Damage over Time

Damage over Time Multiplier

Defences

Defences, usually referred to as Global Defences, is a keyword that collectively refers to armour, energy shield, evasion rating, and ward. It may also refer to the base defences granted by a specific piece of equipment, in the case of modifiers like #% increased Defences from equipped Shield.

Armour

Armour is a form of defence that mitigates physical damage from hits. When a defender is hit by physical damage, their armour is checked against the incoming physical damage and the armour accordingly provides a certain percentage of physical damage reduction. A given percentage of physical damage reduction granted will require exponentially greater quantities of armour against a linearly increasing amount of damage dealt. Armour is most effective against relatively small hits and least effective against relatively large hits.

Energy shield

Energy shield is a form of defence that acts as an additional hit pool which damage is taken from before life. Energy shield will recharge naturally after the defender has not taken any damage for 2 seconds.

Evasion rating

Evasion rating is a form of defence that grants a chance to prevent incoming attacks from hitting the defender. When an attacker tries to hit a defender, the attacker's accuracy is checked against the defender's evasion rating. The greater the attacker's accuracy and the lesser the defender's evasion rating, the greater the chance to hit becomes.

Evade

Evade refers to your overall chance to evade an attack. Effects which grant an flat amount of chance to evade is added after calculating evasion rating against accuracy.

Ward

Ward is a form of defence that reduces the damage taken from an incoming hit equal to the current value of ward. When ward defends damage, all ward is depleted; ward regenerates 4 seconds after being depleted.

Gems

Gems are a type of item divided into two categories: skill gems and support gems. Equipped skill gems grant unique skills to the character. Support gems do not grant skills; instead, they augment the effects and abilities of compatible skills and skill gems.

Skill gems

Skill gems, also known as Active Skill Gems, are a type of gem that, when equipped in an item socket, grant unique skills to the character. Only player characters can use skill gems.

Support gems

Support gems are a type of gem that augment the effects and abilities of compatible skills and skill gems. To support a skill gem, a support gem must be socketed into an item socket connected by a socket link to the socket in which the skill gem is socketed.

Ground effects

Ground effects are patches of terrain that grant certain effects to characters or monsters while they are standing on them. When you are standing on a beneficial ground effect, its effects will appear as a buff on the UI, while detrimental ground effects will

Brittle ground

Brittle ground is a detrimental ground effect that inflicts brittle. Unless otherwise specified, it has a base brittle value of 2%.

Burning ground

Burning ground is a detrimental ground effect. Burning ground deals burning damage (fire damage over time). The values of damage dealt by differing sources of burning ground are highly variable.

Caustic ground

Caustic ground is a detrimental ground effect. Desecrated ground deals chaos damage over time. The values of damage dealt by differing sources of caustic1 ground are highly variable.

Consecrated ground

Consecrated ground is a beneficial ground effect. Consecrated ground grants the following effects:

Regenerate 5% of maximum life per second
50% reduced Effect of Curses on you

Chilled ground

Chilled ground is a detrimental ground effect that inflicts chilled. Unless otherwise specified, it has a base chill value of 10%.

Desecrated ground

Desecrated ground is a detrimental ground effect. Desecrated ground deals chaos damage over time. The values of damage dealt by differing sources of desecrated ground are highly variable.

Profane ground

Profane ground is a detrimental ground effect. Profane ground inflicts the following:

-10% to all Resistances
100% increased chance to be critically hit

Sapped ground

Sapped ground is a detrimental ground effect that inflicts sapped. Unless otherwise specified, it has a base sapped value of 6%.

Scorched ground

Scorched ground is a detrimental ground effect that inflicts scorched. Unless otherwise specified, it has a base scorch value of 10%.

Shocked ground

Shocked ground is a detrimental ground effect that inflicts shocked. Unless otherwise specified, it has a base shock value of 15%.

Tarred ground

Tarred ground is a detrimental ground effect that inflicts 60% reduced Movement Speed.

Hit

Hits are effects that deal distinct amounts of damage to a target instantaneously. The damage can be mitigated down to 0, but can never be negative. Damage dealt by hits always originates from one of 3 damage sources (attack, spell or secondary, but note that damage over time never hits.) and is composed of any 5 of the damage types (physical, lightning, cold, fire or chaos).

Accuracy

Accuracy is a mechanic that determines an attack's chance to hit. When an attacker tries to hit a defender with an attack, the attacker's accuracy is checked against the defender's evasion rating. The higher the attacker's accuracy, and the lower the defender's evasion rating, the higher the chance to hit becomes.

+# to Accuracy Rating on a one-handed weapons only affects the local accuracy of that weapon, (relevant while dual wielding), while Global Accuracy Rating refers to the accuracy of all weapons.

Avoidance

Avoidance is a defensive mechanic that prevents incoming hit damage, stuns, or ailments. The damage will still count as a hit, even if damage taken is 0. Damage avoidance from hits is capped at 75%.

Block

Block is a defensive mechanic that prevents incoming attack damage. Block is capped by default at 75%.

Spell block

Spell block is mechanically identical to block, with the exception that it applies to spell damage instead of attack damage.

Critical strikes

Critical strikes are hits affected by critical strike multiplier. When a skill is used or triggered, a value between 0 and 99.99 is rolled, determining the critical strike chance required by hits to become critical strikes during the crit check. Each hit's critical strike chance is calculated independently. This value is then checked against the crit roll; if the crit chance exceeds the crit roll, the hit will become a critical strike.

Attack skills that pass the crit check must also roll its chance to hit/evade check again (see accuracy/evasion) in order to successfully crit. Failing this second hit chance check does not cause the attack to be evaded; instead, it downgrades the crit to a non-crit. This roll does not affect your entropy value.

Culling Strike

Culling Strike is a keyword modifier that causes affected hits to instantly kill enemies with 10% of their maximum life remaining or less.

Dodge

Dodge is a defensive mechanic that grants a chance to prevent all effects of an incoming hit of the specified damage source. Unlike evasion, dodge chance is not affected by accuracy and is also not affected by entropy. Currently, the only source of dodge comes from Acrobatics.

Double damage and triple damage

Double damage and triple damage are keywords, following strict in-game definitions instead of their everyday meanings.

Chance to deal double/triple damage is additive with other double/triple damage modifiers.
Additional % chance exceeding 100% has no effect.
The damage increases are applied after all other modifiers.
Double damage is hit-only and does not apply to damage over time.
Triple damage overrides double damage; a hit that does triple damage will never also do double damage.

Overwhelm

Overwhelm is a keyword^[2] that replaces Enemies have #% to Total Physical Damage Reduction against your Hits with Overwhelm #% Physical Damage Reduction. Similar to penetration, hits that "Overwhelm" a percentage of physical damage reduction will ignore that amount. Overwhelm cannot reduce effective enemy physical reduction to below 0%.

Savage Hit

Savage Hit is a keyword^[1] that defines a hit that removes at least 15% of the target's maximum life. Damage to energy shield, mana and ward are not counted toward the savage hit threshold.

Suppression

Spell suppression is a defensive mechanic that reduces incoming spell damage. Chance to suppress spell damage can reach up to 100% chance. The default amount of damage suppressed is 50% (halving the damage).

Stun

Stun is a mechanic that involves the immobilization of a character or monster after they have taken damage from a hit. The higher the damage taken was relative to the target's maximum life, the longer the stun duration. Melee damage has a +25% bonus to stun chance and non-physical damage has a -25% penalty to stun chance.

Keystones

The names of all keystone passive skills on the passive skill tree are keywords and their respective modifiers function identically to their passive tree counterparts. For example, Grelwood ShankGrelwood Shank
Eternal SwordOne Handed Sword
Physical Damage: (116.85-129.15) to (193.8-214.2)
Critical Strike Chance: 5.00%

Point Blank
Iron Reflexes while stationaryThrough countless seasons they stand, stoic,
Each season leaving its mark;

Transfiguration of Soul

Transfiguration of Soul is a keyword that grants Increases and Reductions to Maximum Energy Shield also apply to Spell Damage at 30% of their value.

Lucky

Lucky is a keyword that causes a mechanic to roll twice and use the highest value of the two. For mechanics which only have a pass/fail state, the roll succeeds if at least one of the two rolls is a success.

Unlucky

Unlucky causes a mechanic to roll twice and use the lowest value of the two. For mechanics which only have a pass/fail state, the roll fails if at least one of the two rolls fails.

Projectiles

Projectiles are entities which are produced by a spell or ranged attack which travel independently of their creator until they collide with an enemy or obstacle or reach their travel distance limit of 150 Units.

Projectiles cannot "shotgun"; a single target may not be hit by multiple projectiles formed in the same instance by the same source. Barrage effects and area of effect damage stemming from those projectiles may effectively bypass this limitation.

When a projectile hits an enemy, one of the following behaviours may apply. Only a single effect can apply per hit enemy and are applied in the following order:

Split

The projectile splits, breaking into (X) auto-targeting projectiles. The auto-targeting radius limitations are similar to chain.

Split projectiles are considered the same projectile after splitting and therefore will not target the same target twice.

Pierce

The projectile pierces, passing through the enemy after hitting it and continues along its previous trajectory. Once a projectile has exhausted its pierce count, one of the other effects listed in this section may apply.

Fork

The projectile forks, breaking off into two identical projectiles which each travel at a 60-degree angle from the projectile's original path.

Chain

The projectile chains, choosing a target within a certain radius, and travelling in the direction of that target. A target cannot be hit twice by the same projectile. If a skill produces multiple projectiles at once and chains, none of the projectiles may chain to an enemy which has already been struck by a projectile from the same attack or cast. If there are no valid targets in range of the original enemy, it will target an enemy but not hit, instead passing through.

Return

The projectile returns, changing direction and moving in the direction of its point of origin. Targets can be hit once on the way out and once on the way back; however, the specific target they return from is only hit once.

Proxies

Proxy is a term that refers to entities created by a character that may inherit certain skills from its character and offensive modifiers affecting its character while still remaining distinct from the character. Totems, traps, mines, and mirages are examples of proxies. Minions are not proxies. Character-specific defensive modifiers, like +# to Maximum Life, character-related modifiers like #% increased Movement Speed, and effects that specify "you" like WinterweaveWinterweave
Coral RingRequires Level 24+(20-30) to maximum LifeAdds (12-15) to (25-30) Fire Damage to Attacks
Adds (12-15) to (25-30) Cold Damage to Attacks
+(20-40) to maximum Life
+(25-30)% to Cold Resistance
10% increased Movement Speed while Ignited
The Effect of Chill on you is reversedFury fuels defiance.'s The effect of Chill on you is reversed will not apply to proxies. Only damagable proxies may apply Taunted.

Examples of proxies include totems, traps, mines, and mirages. Minions are not considered proxies.

Totem

Totems are a type of immobile proxy created by skills that create a monolith-shaped entity that uses the character's skills. They may also appear as a monster type. Totems will continue to use its skill for as long as it is active, pursuant to modifiers to cast speed, attack speed, and action speed where appropriate.

Player-created totems are targetable, damageable, and only last for a certain duration. Skills used by totems inherit the player's offensive stats.

Traps

Traps are a type of immobile proxy created by skills that throw proximity-triggered devices on the ground that, when activated, produce various, generally damage-dealing, effects. After releasing its effect once, the trap will disappear.

Traps are targetable, damageable, and will expire after a certain duration if not triggered.

Mines

Mines are a type of immobile proxy created by skills that throw devices on the ground that, when remotely detonated, produce various, generally damage-dealing, effects. Undetonated mines will reserve life or mana until detonated with a skill like Detonate MinesDetonate MinesMine, Spell
Level: 1
Cooldown Time: 0.20 sec

Mines get 10% more Detonation Speed for each prior Mine in Detonation Sequence

Additional Effects From 1-20% Quality:
Mines have (1-20)% increased Detonation SpeedPlace into an item socket of the right colour to gain this skill. Right click to remove from a socket.. After releasing its effect once, the trap will disappear.

Mines are targetable, damageable, and will expire after a certain duration if not triggered.

Reservation

Reservation is a mechanic that involves the use of resources like life or mana to pay for an ongoing effect. Rather than paying the cost upfront as with other skills, a percentage of said resource is set aside as unusable for as long as the effect is active.

Reservation Efficiency

Reservation Efficiency modifies the percentage of resources reserved by reservation effects. It can be modified with #% [increased/reduced] [resource] Reservation Efficiency.

Resources

Resources is a term under which life and mana are categorized.^[a]

Life

Life is a core mechanic of Path of Exile - all monsters and characters have life. A character's life's is shown in the bottom left-hand corner of the UI, as a red globe filled proportionally to the character's remaining life. When their life reaches 0, characters and monsters die. Life is fully restored upon entering a town. Light radius is based on current life.

Low life

Characters and monsters are considered to be on low life while their current life is equal to 50% of their maximum life or lower.

Low mana is a condition that applies when the character's mana falls below 50% of their maximum mana. However, it does not apply in conjunction with Blood Magic.

Full life

Characters and monsters are considered to be on full life while their current life is equal to 100% of their maximum life.

Mana

Mana is a core mechanic of Path of Exile - all monsters and characters have mana. Mana is normally used as a cost for skills and reservation effects.

Recently

Recently is a keyword^[1] that defines the period of the past 4 seconds.

Rarity

Rarity categorizes all monsters, Vaal Side Areas, strongboxes, and most items. They may be normal, magic, rare, or unique. Normal, magic, and rare items of the same basetype are defined by the number of explicit modifiers they can roll from a shared modpool, while unique variants of that basetype appear with set modifiers unique to that variant.

Normal

Normal items are items that have no explicit modifiers. Normal items are identified by their white item box.

Magic

Magic items are items that can roll a maximum of one prefix and one suffix. Magic items are identified by their blue item box.

Rare

Rare items are items that can roll a maximum of three prefixes and three suffixes, with the exception of rare jewels, which can only roll two prefixes and two suffixes. Rare items are identified by their yellow item box.

Unique

Unique items are items that cannot roll modifiers from the shared modpool from their basetype, and instead are generated with a special set of modifiers specific to that unique variant. Unique items are identified by their orange/brown item box.

Reflect

Reflect causes sources of damage or status effect to be applied back to the entity that applied it. The damage source of reflected damage will match the source of damage (Ex. reflected attack damage is also considered an attack). Sources of damage reflection that scales with the damage value of the source are calculated based on damage taken after mitigation.

Hex Reflection

Hex Reflection causes hexes inflicted upon the hexed to be reflected back to the hexer.

Recovery

Recovery refers to any mechanic that involves the gaining of life, energy shield, or mana, including leech, regeneration, and recoup. Some forms of recovery, like Flesh and SpiritFlesh and Spirit
Ironscale GauntletsArmour: (50-81)
Evasion: (50-81)Requires Level 15(6-9)% increased Attack Speed
(80-120)% increased Armour and Evasion
Regenerate (3-4) Life per second
Recover 20% of Life on Rampage
Kills grant an additional Vaal Soul if you have Rampaged Recently
RampageWhat is greed but trading a mountain of death for a sliver of life?'s Recover 20% of Life on Rampage do not fall into any of these categories and are classified as generic recovery.

Energy Shield Recharge

Energy Shield recharge triggers when a character or monster with missing energy shield hasn't taken damage in the 2 seconds. Their energy shield will begin recovering at a rate of 33.3% per second, until either they take damage or energy shield is filled, upon which the recharge will stop and the 2 second timer will begin.

Modifiers to the start of energy shield recharge like #% faster start of Energy Shield Recharge will modify the 2 second delay that occurs before recharge begins.

Energy Shield Recharge Rate

The rate at which energy shield recovers can be modified by modifiers like #% [increased/reduced/more/less] Energy Shield Recharge Rate.

Leech

Leech is a form of recovery that restores an amount of life, mana, or energy shield over time, relative to the damage inflicted on an enemy. Leech is based on the damage taken by the enemy, not the amount of life removed. Unless otherwise specified below, "life" is interchangeable for "mana" and "energy shield".

Maximum Recovery per Leech

A maximum of 10% of maximum life can be the total recovery of an individual instance of leech. #% increased Maximum Recovery per Life Leech can increased this limit.

Total Recovery per second from Leech

A maximum of 2% of maximum life can be recovered per second from a single instance of life leech. #% increased total Recovery per second from Life Leech can increase this limit.

Maximum total Recovery per second from Leech

A maximum of 20% of maximum life can be recovered per second from all instances of life leech. #% increased Maximum total Life Recovery per second from Leech can increase this limit. This limit is 10% for energy shield leech.

Overleech

When the resource that leech is recovering is filled, those leech instances will be removed and you are no longer considered leeching. Modifiers like Life Leech effects are not removed when Unreserved Life is Filled, commonly known as "Overleech", will cause those instances to continue to attempt to recover life even if there is no more life to recover.

Instant Leech

#% of Leech is Instant allows the a percentage of the recovery from leech to be applied instantly, instead of over time. For this reason, instant leech is not modified by modifiers like #% increased Life Recovery Rate, as there is no "Rate" to modify.

Regeneration

Regeneration is a form of recovery that restores an amount of life, mana, or energy shield over time. Rage may also be regenerated, but is not recovery. Regenerate #% of [life/mana/energy shield] per second will grant flat regeneration. Regeneration is calculate per minute, not per second.

Regeneration Rate

#% [increased/reduced] [life/mana/energy shield] Regeneration Rate directly modifies the rate at which regeneration occurs.

Recoup

Recoup is a form of recovery that replaces #% of Damage taken gained as [life/mana/energy shield over 4 seconds when Hit with Recoup #% of Damage taken as [life/mana/energy shield]. While recoup effects usually occur over a period of 4 seconds, modifiers like the Life Recoup Effects instead occur over 3 seconds from the relevant Recovery Mastery and Nine Lives may modify this duration.

Resistance

Resistances reduce the amount of incoming damage by their value. Defeating Kitava in both Act 5 and Act 10 incurs -30% penalties to all resistances, adding up to -60%. "Elemental Resistances" refer to cold, fire, and lightning resistances.

Negative resistances are hard capped at -200%. The effects of x% reduced Resistance(s) is capped at 100%. There are four types of resistances:

Cold Resistance
Chaos Resistance
Fire Resistance
Lightning Resistance

Maximum resistances

All characters have the following modifiers:

Maximum resistances can be increased or reduced to hard caps of 90% and -200% respectively.

Penetration

Penetration may apply to resistances. When a hit penetrates a percentage of the defender's resistance, the taken damage is calculated with that percentage subtracted from the appropriate resistance.
