How it drops

Wave loot rolls just once when the final creature is vanquished, matching that creature's level. If the result is legendary, every slot bearing an eligible base shares equal probability (Back sits at 7% the odds of other slots), followed by an equal distribution among the slot's bases. Staff of the Frostwyrm unlocks at enemy level 15 and is a Sorcerer exclusive. Normal difficulty generates item levels between 10 × (level − 1) and 10 × level + 9. In Nightmare and Inferno, monsters are always level 70, producing an item level of 700 plus the map's level (multiplied by 2 on Inferno).

Possible affixes

Legendary gear rolls with 4 primary affixes and 1 secondary affix, selected without duplicates from the affix pool after excluding stats unavailable to your hero class. The ranges listed below correspond to the roll formula for each item level, which can also be tested using the item roll calculator.
