Imbued with Azkaranth's immense powers with his dying breath.

The Star of Azkaranth

This amulet makes you practically immune to an entire damage type: all incoming fire damage is ignored, and part of the deflected amount even heals you. What would otherwise be a deadly threat becomes a source of life recovery.

The piece shines wherever fire is a constant danger, such as against fire-themed bosses, burning ground patches or certain elite affixes. Since the effect works regardless of class, it suits any hero who wants to deliberately neutralize a fire threat. My tip: play the amulet specifically against fire-heavy content and do not shy away from standing in burning zones there, because that is exactly where you convert enemy damage straight into your own healing.

Healing from deflected fire

The healing share rolls between 10–15% of the Fire damage prevented. That creates an unusual logic: the more Fire damage would actually rain down on you, the bigger the heal. Burning ground that endangers other heroes becomes a refuelling station for your Life with the Star. Find a primal ancient Star and you heal for the full 15%. Other elements, however, remain completely unaffected.

A value that always works

Unlike a pure protection amulet, the Star brings Reduces cooldown of all skills by 5–8% as a fixed property that works regardless of any fire source. Even in fights without any Fire damage, the amulet is far from useless. A primary attribute also rolls at 626–750 - take your class stat, since the Star is not tied to a class.

Your follower can wear the Star as well; without an (Emanates) tag in the power text, though, the fire protection then stays with the follower.

Azkaranth's legacy

According to the flavor text, Azkaranth imbued this amulet with his immense powers with his dying breath - a legacy that now shields you from the flames.
