The Widow's Stiletto is a Nightmare Unique dagger, hunted from The Vampire Lord once you are at Threat 20 or higher. It is one of four Exceptional drops on its list — 2.5% of the Uniques that boss gives up, about 1 in 40 — and every kill rolls the list twice. It is built on Sovereign Widowlace Dagger — step 6 of the Widowlace Dagger line, item level 80 and up.
It always rolls the same numbers: +20 Power, +26% Attack Speed, +13% Attack Speed, +14% Blood Damage, +57% Attack Speed, +150% Bleed Effect, +154% Blood Damage and +28% Critical Chance.
On top of that it carries The Widow's Stiletto — Your Main is attuned to Blood, stabs 30% faster, Bleeds on every cut and Exsanguinates the dying, but hits 25% softer.
It leans into Blood and Bleed.
It is Nightmare Gate loot.
Wearing it hands you Phantom Fang.
“Each cut is barely worth mentioning. Do keep count.”
