Stats of Death’s Pavane

• +15% Dodge Chance while Channeling Dance of Knives
• +(2 - 3) to Dance of Knives (up to +5 with mastercrafting)
• +(16.0 - 25.0)% Movement Speed (up to +37.5% with mastercrafting)
• +(9.0 - 11.0)% Critical Strike Chance (up to +16.5% with mastercrafting)
• +(60.0 - 85.0)% Agility Damage (up to +127.5% with mastercrafting)

The stats of the Death’s Pavane unique pants directly scale the Dance of the Knives skill while granting an additional 15% chance to dodge incoming attacks and up to 85% increased damage, as it is an Agility skill. All these stats allow the Dance of Knives to scale well in the endgame of Diablo 4.

Unique effect of Death’s Pavane

• Dance of Knives drops knives from enemies hit. Picking them up grants you 1 Charge and increases your Dance of Knives damage by 10.0 - 20.0%[x] for 6 seconds, stacking up to 3 times.

This effect allows the Rogue to hasten damage output during combat, rewarding you for every attack. This effect becomes extremely potent in high-density locations and lengthy encounters, allowing Rogues to maintain near-constant uptime for the damage boost you get from stacks.

How to get Death’s Pavane in Diablo 4

You can get the Death’s Pavane unique pants from multiple sources in Diablo 4. It has a higher chance of dropping from some specific sources, which you can target. Here are all the sources you can farm for the Death’s Pavane unique pants:

1) Boss Farming

As of now, Death’s Pavane is tied to the loot pool of both Duriel and Andariel. You can fight both of these bosses once you have made it to the Torment difficulty. Once defeated, both bosses will drop their hoard, which has a high chance of yielding the Death’s Pavane unique.

• Difficulty: Torment
• Boss hoard key: 3x Shard of Agony (can be farmed from Grigoire’s and Varshan’s hoards)

• Difficulty: Torment
• Boss hoard key: 3x Pincushioned Doll (can be acquired from the Beast in the Ice’s and Lord Zir’s hoard)

2) Nightmare Dungeons

Like most unique items in Diablo 4, Death’s Pavane also has a chance to drop from random enemies and elites across the map. Nightmare Dungeons pit you against massive enemy mobs and elite packs, which increases the chance of acquiring a unique item faster than farming the open world.

3) World bosses and events

Diablo 4 is packed with world events (gathering Legions and Helltide events) and boss encounters, which have a moderately high chance of dropping a random unique item. Among these activities, Helltides currently have the highest chance of yielding a unique item. During Helltides, you must gather Aberrant Cinders and use them to open loot chests that specifically drop unique items and armor.

Here are the reward chests you should target:

• Tortured Gift of Protection (75 Aberrant Cinders)
• Tortured Gift of Mystery (250 Aberrant Cinders)

4) Gamble for pants using Obols

Obols can be found randomly across the map, and once you have acquired enough Obols, use them to gamble for pants at the Purveyor of Curiosities. While the drop chance for unique items is extremely low, it’s still a viable method if you have excess amounts of Obols in your inventory.
