Uniques/Off Hand/Skipping Stones

Skipping Stones is a Demon Unique dirk 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 Arcflash Dirk — step 6 of the Arcflash Dirk line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +32 Power, +12% Storm Damage, +48 Power, +18% Storm Damage, +42% Storm Damage, +26% Attack Speed and +45% Projectile Damage.

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 Skipping Stones — Fan of Knives throws one volley instead of two, but every knife chains twice, hits 40% harder and applies Shock.

It leans into Shock.

Wearing it hands you Fan of Knives.

“One throw. Count the splashes.”
