Intelligence
Intelligence
Tooltip
Intelligence is an Attribute required to use most equipment that grants Energy Shield, as well as various spell-aligned Weapons and Skills.
Every 1 Intelligence grants +2 Mana. Intelligence does not grant damage to Skills or any other benefits except where specifically stated.
Every 1 Intelligence grants +2 Mana. Intelligence does not grant damage to Skills or any other benefits except where specifically stated.
Intelligence (or Int) is one of three attributes, along with Strength and Dexterity. Intelligence is required to equip most energy shield-granting armour, as well as all caster weapons, traps, and some martial weapons, and their associated skills.
Base stats
Characters start with a certain amount of base intelligence based on their character class.
- Pure intelligence character classes (Witch and Sorceress) start with 15 Intelligence.
- Hybrid intelligence character classes (Templar, Druid, Shadow, and Monk) start with 11 Intelligence.
- All other non-intelligence character classes start with 7 Intelligence.
Intelligence provides an inherent bonus of +2 maximum mana per 1 intelligence.
Enfolding Dawn disables this inherent bonus.- This inherent bonus can be changed to grant 1% evasion rating per 2 intelligence through the Black Scythe Training keystone from
Heroic Tragedy.
