Amber Skull Staff
Legendary power: +100% Critical Damage against Immobilized or Slowed enemies.
How it drops
Loot is rolled once per wave, when its last enemy dies, at that enemy's level. If the roll lands on legendary, every slot with an eligible base is equally likely (Back is 7% as likely as the others), then a base is picked evenly within the slot. Amber Skull Staff is eligible from enemy level 30 and only drops for Warrior and Sorcerer and Monk. Item level on Normal is 10 × (level − 1) to 10 × level + 9; on Nightmare and Inferno every enemy is level 70 and item level becomes 700 plus the map's level (× 2 on Inferno).
Possible affixes
Legendary items roll 4 primary and 1 secondary affixes, drawn without repeats from the pool after removing stats your hero cannot roll. Ranges below are the game's roll formula at each item level; try any level in the item roll calculator.
