Shell Spike Pauldron
How it drops
When the last enemy of a wave dies, a single loot roll takes place using that enemy's level. Should a legendary drop, every gear slot containing an eligible base has uniform odds (Back is reduced to 7% of standard likelihood), and an eligible base within that slot is then chosen evenly. Shell Spike Pauldron becomes eligible starting from enemy level 30. Normal difficulty assigns item levels between 10 × (level − 1) and 10 × level + 9. In Nightmare and Inferno, all enemies are level 70, meaning item level equals 700 plus map level (doubled on Inferno).
Possible affixes
Every Legendary piece generates four primary affixes alongside one secondary affix, picked without duplicates from a stat pool that excludes anything unusable by your class; protective gear is also guaranteed to roll Armor as a baseline bonus. The stat intervals listed here reflect the underlying formula tied to item level, which you can experiment with directly using the item roll calculator.
