Despite the powerful enchantments upon it, this ornate piece of armor nonetheless failed to stop noble Lachdanan from ending the life of the Mad King.
Golden Gorget of Leoric
This amulet summons a band of Skeletons after a Massacre bonus, fighting at your side for several seconds. The effect rewards aggressive play and wide-area clearing with free companions that deal extra damage and tie up enemies. Being class-independent, it suits any hero who frequently mows down whole packs.
With critical hit chance, all resistance and high attribute rolls, the amulet also brings solid baseline stats. In harsh endgame progression, though, the effect remains more of a nice bonus than a build foundation. Practical tip: use the amulet mainly in fast, mob-heavy content where you trigger Massacre bonuses continuously, keeping the Skeletons at your side almost without pause.
How many skeletons appear
What rolls is the number of skeletons: between 4 and 6 per Massacre bonus, so a Primal Ancient Gorget always calls the full group of six. The duration, on the other hand, is fixed: each group fights beside you for 10 seconds. How often they appear depends solely on how frequently you earn Massacre bonuses.
The fixed stats count too
Regardless of the power, the amulet brings two fixed stats that are useful for almost any character: 8–10% Critical Hit Chance and 91–100 Resistance to All Elements. It also rolls 626–750 Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence, where you pick your class's main stat. The Mystic can replace a weak property, and followers can wear the Gorget too.
The end of the Mad King
The flavor text tells how the powerful enchantments on this ornate piece of armor failed to stop noble Lachdanan from ending the life of the Mad King who wore it. Ring of Royal Grandeur also refers to this king in its flavor text.
