Uniques/Main Hand/The Duelist's Needle

The Duelist's Needle is a Demon Unique rapier with no boss attached: any drop at Threat 7 or higher can turn out to be it, and at that Threat 0.8% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Duelist's Rapier — step 3 of the Duelist's Rapier line, item level 30 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +21 Power, +6% Critical Chance, +6% Critical Chance, +4% Movement Speed, +9% Critical Chance, +14% Attack Speed and +11% Power.

On top of that it carries The Duelist's Needle — Your Main reaches 40% further and its critical hits deal 30% more bonus damage.

It is Demon Gate loot.

Wearing it hands you Lunging Thrust.

“It ends conversations from a courteous distance.”
