Uniques/Off Hand/The Pocket Winter

The Pocket Winter is a Demon Unique kite shield with no boss attached: it drops anywhere in Hell, most often from H6 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 Rimeward Kite Shield — step 6 of the Rimeward Kite Shield line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +56 Armor, +10% Frost Damage, +40 Magic Defense, +66 Armor, +12% Frost Damage, +58% Guard Power, +816 Ward and +29% Cooldown Recovery.

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 Pocket Winter — Bastion Field is half as wide, but wards 50% more, lasts 80% longer and recharges 25% faster.

Wearing it hands you Bastion Field.

“Cold enough for one. Warm enough for one.”
