How do attributes help build a character?
When beginning a new character, it is important to understand which attributes help strengthen it. It is those attributes you want to focus on when equipping gear, enchanting it, socketing it and more. There are certain caps for attributes (for example, hit rating’s basic cap is 262) that you focus on at end game to make your character as powerful as possible. The more you focus on the particular attributes that work for your class, the more powerful your character will become at doing its jobs against a single enemy, mobs, in a dungeon or a raid.
