Uniques/Main Hand/A Thousand Cuts

A Thousand Cuts is a Demon Unique dagger with no boss attached: any drop at Threat 26 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 Hushvelvet Dagger — step 6 of the Hushvelvet Dagger line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +22 Power, +22% Attack Speed, +5% Melee Lifesteal, +22% Power, +24% Attack Speed, +36% Melee Damage, +26% Attack Speed, +10% Critical Chance and +6% Melee Lifesteal.

On top of that it carries A Thousand Cuts — Fang Flurry stabs 6 times per hold instead of 3 and each stab hits 3 more enemies, but every stab is 30% lighter.

It is Adventure Mode loot.

Wearing it hands you Fang Flurry.

“Not one of them matters. All of them do.”
