Uniques/Relic/A Brief Mercy

A Brief Mercy is a Demon Unique relic with no boss attached: any drop at Threat 14 or higher can turn out to be it, and at that Threat 0.7% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Radiant Sanctuary Relic — step 5 of the Sanctuary Relic line, item level 60 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +11% Healing Power, +22 Ward, +12% Healing Power, +24 Ward, +30% Healing Power, +190 Maximum Health and +25% Healing Received.

On top of that it carries A Brief Mercy — Sanctuary heals 8% of max health per pulse instead of 5% for 2 more allies, but pulses 5 times instead of 8.

It fires Dawn's Eye on its own: Every 5th critical strike sets a Brand worth 60% of the hit.

It is Adventure Mode loot.

Wearing it hands you Sanctuary.

“Not long. Long enough.”
