Ashnagarr's Blood Bracer is a pair of Legendary bracers in Diablo III, added in patch 2.4 (replacing Steady Strikers). They require character level 8 to drop.
The unique power only works for Wizards, and affects all of their skills/skill runes that absorb damage with force shields (usually animated as bubbles):
- Diamond Skin
- Magic Weapon with Deflection rune
- Dominance
- Galvanizing Ward
- Spectral Blade with Barrier Blades rune
Duration of the shields does not change, only the amount of damage they absorb. Potency of the shields from items and skills of other classes are not affected, only those from Wizard skills.

“Demon blood is a very important tool in the wizard’s arsenal. I infused this bracer with it, as a matter of fact. The extraction method was agonizing, to be sure, just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.” — Ashnagarr, First Wizard of the Accursed Multitude
Development[]
Originally, this item was designed as a ring, but as rings are usually taken for offensive attributes, the special affix was moved to bracers. The ring in question became the Halo of Karini later.
