Uniques/Main Hand/The Carousel

The Carousel is a Demon Unique zweihander with no boss attached: it drops anywhere in Hell, most often from H9 up (rarer below that home difficulty, never above it), and nowhere else. Every copy is item level 110, and there 0.2% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Sovereign Ruin Zweihander — step 6 of the Ruin Zweihander line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +204 Power, −12% Attack Speed, +5% Melee Lifesteal, +150 Power, +-10% Attack Speed, +15% Power, +42% Melee Damage, +10% Melee Lifesteal and +29% Attack Speed.

One Unique drop in 40 is a Mythical copy: the same item carrying 15–25% Mythical Energy that boosts every stat on it and can never be changed; the 15% floor is 10 times as common as the perfect 25%.

On top of that it carries The Carousel — Whirlwind spins 8 more times, 25% wider, and drinks 4% more of every hit, but recharges 40% slower and each spin is 20% lighter.

Wearing it hands you Charged Overhead and Whirlwind.

“Get on. There is no getting off.”
