But also item descriptions confuse me, physical damage, ok, but to what? My Bow, my spells, my minions...? The passive tree is full of stuff, that I don´t fully understand and how it might affect me or my minions.

I've been on an off for a few years now and I still don't get this, which is probably the entire reason I constantly hit a wall at around level 70-80 (if I make it there) and inevitably, the reason I end up leaving for another few months on end.

That's what the gameplay help section is for. Drop in, we have cookies.

That's the (symptom of the) problem, though. Yes, we have GHD, and wiki, and reddit (for those who can bear it), and all that's good if you are looking for explanation of some complicated situation/mechanics. Item mods should not fall into that category, that's what Ygidua and frenzul were talking about. Heck, I'm still unsure sometimes about how mods work, and I've played this game pretty regularly from the end of OB...

Not going to argue that, the game should have basic information inside, like the major rules 'four basic damage types', 'minions have their own stats and bonuses', 'linking two trigger gems to a skill will disable both' and so on. However, it doesn't and I just don't see it getting in there anytime soon.

4+ years and still
- no name for placeholders like "secondary damage".
- "added damage" mods on items where even old players are wrong whenit comes to if they count towards spells
- hybrid affixes added together on item descriptions
...

chris found it a good idea once on reddit to have all item's properties dumped to the win clipboard on ctrl+c separately, showing hybrid affixes so tools can be made easier and less error prone.

the feature never came and i would really have an elaboration why not. is it they don't want tools to work? is it they want item affixes to be remain foggy to appear interesting? i would go along with most explanations if there were any.
