Thresh Socket
Thresh Socket is found at the very end of the Arreat Plateau, guarding the entrance to the Crystalline Passage. He is not connected to any quests, and need not be killed to advance through the game.
Prior to v1.09, Thresh was randomly spawned somewhere in the Frigid Highlands. During the v1.09 patch, Thresh was a valuable item run, since he spawned with a Demon Imp on his back. Both the Siege Beast and the Imp dropped like a boss, and the Imp could further be Horked for a potential triple drop for a Barbarian. Since v1.10 Thresh spawns without a Demon Imp, and only drops once even if an Imp happens to leap upon him.
- All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.

Defenses
Like most SuperUniques, Thresh Socket does not regenerate hit points.
- Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec.
- Blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to block.
- Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.
- Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

Resistances
- Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
- Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the Resistances page for more details.
