How it drops
Restricted to Sorcerer and Hunter characters, Venomfrost Pauldron unlocks in the legendary pool beginning at enemy level 55. A single loot roll occurs per wave as the final enemy falls, matching its level. When hitting the legendary tier, every slot featuring an eligible base carries equal weight, except Back at 7% relative probability, before selecting evenly among valid bases. On Normal, item level runs from 10 × (level − 1) to 10 × level + 9. In Nightmare and Inferno, foes are universally level 70, producing item level 700 plus the map's level (× 2 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.
