Diablo 3 Item Tiers

In addition to item types, there a tiers of Diablo 3 Items. Tiers refer to the base stats and potential of a given item type. The higher the tier, the better the base stats (damage for weapons, armor for armor) and the larger the rolls can be for various prefixes. Larger rolls simply refers to the fact that top tier armor can potentially have a lot more +Vitality (or any other affix/prefix) than lower-tier armor.

In Diablo 3, there will be 18 tiers of armor at release. As an example, let’s take a look at two-handed mace. Here a the tiers for this weapon type:

Tier 1: Two-Handed Club: 15.7-16.6 DPS

Tier 2: Two-Handed Mace

Tier 3: Two-Handed Hammer

Tier 4: Maul

Tier 5: Mallet

Tier 6: Great Hammer

Tier 7: Dire Club

Tier 8: Dire Mace

Tier 9: Sledgehammer

Tier 10: Great Maul

Tier 11: War Mallet

Tier 12: Rock Breaker

Tier 13: Wrecker

Tier 14: Dread Mace

Tier 15: War Sledge

Tier 16: War Maul

Tier 17: Slag Hammer

Tier 18: Doom Hammer – 613.3-624.1 DPS

Each tier of Diablo 3 item will slowly increase in damage or armor, as y can see above. There were also item tiers in Diablo 2, though the same item tiers were recycled across the three acts. In Diablo 3, each item tier is supposed to have its own unique grarephic.

Diablo 3 Item tiers just refer to the base item type that gets modified by the quality. Y can find uncommon and rare versions of each item tier, though there may not be a legendary or set item from each tier. Diablo 3 Item tiers tend to be far more important in the grarend scheme of things than item quality. For example, Boneshatter is a legendary Two-Handed Mace (tier 2). While it is a legendary item, an uncommon Maul (tier 4) with a good roll is going to deal more damage.
