Primary Resources is an important term in Diablo 4.

What are Primary Resources in Diablo 4?

Primary Resources in Diablo are whatever unique resources your character spends to use their Core Skills on the battlefield.

While the name makes it sound like Primary Resources something to be collected and used to enhance materials and weapons, instead they have a much more straightforward purpose. Whenever you use a Core Skill in Diablo 4 your Primary Resource will deplete and if it runs out you’ll have to wait for the cooldown to wear off before you can use the skill again.

In previous Diablo games, this was called Mana for every class, however in Diablo 4 this is only true for the Sorcerer class. The other classes in the game each have unique Primary Resources which have been detailed in the table below:

Class	Primary Resource
Sorcerer	Mana
Barbarian	Fury
Rogue	Enery
Druid	Spirit
Necromancer	Energy

The resources being named Primary is due to the fact the Necromancer class also has a Secondary Resource it can use – which is Corpses – however, it’s currently the only class to use more than one.

If any additional classes are added to Diablo 4 in future DLC content, we’ll be sure to update the table above with their unique Primary Resources.
