This Diablo 4 Legendary drop has to be a troll

Imagine spending your precious time grinding in Diablo 4, only to get this Legendary piece of gear as a reward.

Before anyone gets the wrong idea, there’s no question that Diablo 4 has loads of exciting loot drops. Add to that the ability to target dungeon Aspects , and the fact you can extract Aspects from gear and imprint them into other pieces, and you end up with quite a lot of freedom to build your character.

But sometimes, the game is just cruel. And no, we’re not talking about the six rarest items you’ll never see . Because of the inherent random nature at the heart of the maths that decides what affixes you get on loot (and how powerful), sometimes you end up with a dud.

That’s the unfortunate situation Reddit user LavusVincere found themselves in. When they received the Boneweave Helm of the Crowded Sage, they didn’t expect the Aspect it rolled with to have a value of zero.

“You heal for 0 [0-2] Life per second for each close enemy, up to 8 Life per second,” the Aspect’s description reads.

User MamaMouser had the same exact Aspect drop on a Legendary shield they received for defeating The Butcher - which they met at level one!

MamaMouser’s was a somehow worse version of the same Aspect, boasting an impressive [0-1] Life, and an even shorter duration of six seconds! Which is just insulting.

Of course, anyone unlucky enough to get these ultra-low stats on their Aspects, can still find some solace in the fact the Aspect can be improved by upgrading the item it rolled on - which is five times in this case. Upgrading the Aspect before extracting it means it will be stronger when it’s eventually imprinted onto a different - better - item.
