Is it a Glitch, or am i just lucky?

So i started up a Diablo 2 LOD expansion game, with a Necro, and went into the regular ol' den of evil.

i had on me just a wand and about, 3 skeletons, as i am a necro summoner.

so i defeated a few monsters before a totally out-of-nowhere unique wand pops up!

so i identify it, and none other than the Torch of Iro pops up.

now im wondering if this is a glitch, or if im incredibly lucky.

seeing as how the stats for this wand are:

One-Hand Damage: 2 To 4 (3 Avg)

Required Level: 5

Durability: 15

Base Weapon Speed: [0]

+50% Damage To Undead

Adds 5-9 Fire Damage

+1 To Necromancer Skill Levels

+10 To Energy

Regenerate Mana 5%

6% Life Stolen Per Hit

+3 To Light Radius

I feel like it was a little overpowered for what i was doing in act 1.|||You can shop for +3 raise skeleton/+3 skeleton mastery wands with a L1 character (and buy it if you passed a bit gold to him), so I don't think that it's overpowered.

It's no glitch. The Torch of Iro is from a low TC and has a low qlvl, so it can drop in the earliest part of the game.|||i just find the +1 to ALL necromancer skills a little overwhelming.|||Well, it doesn't help a low-level char with maybe 5 skills that much. All you need at low levels is skeletons and one point in amp and later you can wear far better wands.|||way to rain on his parade there, krischan

do the melee aspects of it make up for its relative lack of skills? the life leech is kind of a joke when you're doing such little physical, but the fire damage could help...course you could get the same or better using gems i guess.|||It's not a glitch but a lucky find :)|||That's right. You usually don't have a high MF bonus when being in those areas where uniques like that one have a decent chance to drop.|||Lucky indeed. I've only ever found 1 Torch of Iro before in my D2 gaming history, due to it being at the bottom of the unique hierarchy. It's a nice item at low levels.|||Before level 20 or so, plain +3 raise skeleton wand is better than +1 skills and costs only few gold (you can actually wait for any wand with staffmods to pop up, sell it vs 5k gold and buy +3 raise skeleton, all in act1).
