Character Armor

The most crucial part of Diablo II is the ability to keep your character alive. In order to do this your character needs a good defense. The higher a characters defense goes, the more damage he can absorb in combat. Defense goes up by using a variety of Armor, Helmets, Shields, and the Newest categories being The Gloves, Boots, and Belts. Depending on the type of armor, additional abilities and stats such as Dexterity, Armor Class Bonuses, and Enhanced Speed are avaliable to name a few. Armor is not the only thing that can increase your defensive power. Dexterity increases the speed of your character. The faster your character is, the harder you are to hit.
