"All who chance to behold it, desire it. Those who possess it must shed blood to keep it. And those who deem themselves above its allure are the most endangered by it." –Lam Esen on the nature of the blade

Envious Blade

This dagger guarantees the perfect opener: against enemies at full health, your critical hit chance is simply one hundred percent. Every first strike on an unharmed target is a guaranteed critical hit - ideal for opening fights with a punishing burst of opening damage.

The blade is especially strong in builds that take enemies down from ambush or in a single big volley before they've taken any damage at all. Since the dagger rolls one of the three primary stats, it works across classes. Practical tip: lean deliberately into high opening damage, for instance by hitting fresh packs or newly appearing foes immediately with your strongest skill - turning the guaranteed crits into a devastating first blow.

Where the condition ends

The power only applies while an enemy is at full health. As soon as it has taken any damage, your normal critical hit chance applies again. That means:

  • Against a group of fresh enemies, an area attack benefits hugely, because every target it hits is still untouched.
  • Against a single tough enemy, the blade effectively works only on the very first hit.
  • Anything that damages enemies beforehand, such as damage over time or your minions, can rob you of the guaranteed crit.

The power has no roll range; the hundred percent is fixed.

The dagger's stats

+(858–1,049)–(1,028–1,304) Poison Damage is fixed and carries most of the weapon damage; base damage is 107-321 at 1.50 attacks per second. A random primary attribute at 626–750 joins it - Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence. Your follower can carry the dagger as well.

Lam Esen's warning

The flavor text passes on Lam Esen's view of the blade: all who see it desire it, those who own it must shed blood to keep it - and those who think themselves above its allure are the ones most endangered by it.
