Uniques/Boots/Snowblind Steps

Snowblind Steps is a pair of Nightmare Unique boots, hunted from Frost Wyrm once you are at Threat 20 or higher. It is one of four ordinary drops on its list — 22.5% of the Uniques that boss gives up, about 1 in 4 — and every kill rolls the list twice. It is built on Exalted Palimpsest Boots — step 6 of the Palimpsest Boots line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +8% Move Speed, +40 Ward, +9% Movement Speed, +15% Status Resistance, +29% Movement Speed, -52% Dash Cooldown and +82% Healing Received.

On top of that it carries Snowblind Steps — You move 8% faster.

It is Nightmare Gate loot.

Wearing it hands you Affinity Dash.

“The trail behind them fills in politely.”
