The Glacier's Shoulder is a Nightmare Unique greatsword with no boss attached: any drop at Threat 28 or higher can turn out to be it, and at that Threat 0.5% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Sovereign Nightglacier Greatsword — step 6 of the Nightglacier Greatsword line, item level 80 and up.
It always rolls the same numbers: +96 Power, −8% Attack Speed, +5% Melee Lifesteal, +62% Power, +-8% Attack Speed, +8% Frost Damage, +32% Power, +36% Melee Damage, +30% Frost Damage and +6% Melee Lifesteal.
On top of that it carries The Glacier's Shoulder — Heavy Cleave sweeps an 80° wider arc, shoves 1.5 units harder and applies Chill, but winds up 20% slower.
It leans into Chill.
It is Nightmare Gate loot.
Wearing it hands you Heavy Cleave and Groundbreaker.
“It does not swing. It moves, and things are elsewhere.”
