Deathskull Pauldron

Rare Shoulder Warrior Hunter

How it drops

Loot drops are determined a single time each wave as the final enemy falls, utilizing that foe's level for calculations. Should the roll yield a rare item, any slot featuring an eligible base item has an equal drop chance (with Back weighted at 7% compared to other slots), followed by a uniform roll among valid bases for that slot. Deathskull Pauldron enters the drop pool at enemy level 1 and is restricted exclusively to Warrior and Hunter. Normal mode item level ranges from 10 × (level − 1) to 10 × level + 9; Nightmare and Inferno fix enemy levels at 70, setting item level to 700 plus the map level (doubled on Inferno, × 2).

Possible affixes

Rare gear rolls 3 primary affixes and 1 secondary affix without duplicates from the pool, excluding any stats your class cannot roll; armor pieces additionally receive a guaranteed Armor roll. The values below reflect the formula across each item level, which can be previewed in the item roll calculator.
