Affixes are split into prefixes and suffixes in Diablo. They are extra words that are added onto the names of weapons and they bring with them effects appropriate to those names. For example, The Sword of Slaying would have a better damage rate because of the affix added on.

Magic items are going to be worthwhile in Diablo 4 and could even rival the stats of some items above them in the rarity scale.
