'''Attributes''' in [[Diablo III]] consist of '''[[Attack_(Attribute)|Attack]]''', '''[[Precision_(Attribute)|Precision]]''', '''[[Vitality]]''', and '''[[Defense]]''', and '''[[Willpower]]'''. Each attribute affects a single property in Diablo III. See the respective character class pages for [[Barbarian]], [[Witch Doctor]], [[Wizard]], [[Monk]], and the [[Demon Hunter]] for more specific details.
Although attributes are automatically-placed in Diablo III, [[traitspassive skills]], [[charms]] in the [[talisman]], and the ability to [[socket]] very high level [[gems]] should allow for as much or more character variety as was possible in [[Diablo II]], where attributes could be placed wherever a player desired.
===Precision===
[[Precision_(Attribute)|Precision]] governs the chance that a character will make a [[critical hit]] in all attacks, physical and magical.<br>
'''Each point of Precision gives:'''
*+x% [[Critical hit|Critical Strike]] Chance (based on [[Classes|class]])
'''Each point of Vitality gives:'''
*+x [[Life]] (based on [[Classes|class]])
==Willpower==
Willpower was formally the fifth attribute, but it has been taken out of the game at some point in 2011. The likelihood of it working with every different resource system was probably not so good. The stat's description remains below:
[[Willpower]] governs governed the amount of [[resource]] a character has.<br>'''Each point of Willpower givesgave:'''
*Varies greatly bases on each [[Classes|class]] and its specific [[resource]].
==Core Attribute Changes==
This change wasn't as controversial as the [[#No Customizable Attributes|pre-set attribute]] announcement, but Bashiok's post did generate a lively [http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=788501 26-page debate]in the forums. Bashiok made several points in favor of the change, and several less-favorable points were made in the forum. The debate is distilled here:
===Pros===
There are a variety of arguments on each side of the issue. The debate was nicely encapsulated in an [[On the Drawing Board]] column about pre-set attributes, from which the following bullet points are taken: [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/on-the-drawing-board-4-preset-attributes]
