The Ess of Johan.

The Ess of Johan is a legendary amulet that can be found in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls. This item can be found and equipped by any class.

The Smart Drop system ensures that this amulet will usually roll with the mainstat appropriate to the class that finds it. Amulets can roll with up to 10% ChC and 100% ChD, as well as up to 20% Elemental Damage so big offensive stats are all but mandatory for end game amulet options.

An item mostly valued by melee fighters, especially "Pull" Monks, thanks to the legendary affix that will yank enemies in towards the target. This might become more valued amulet after Patch 2.1.0 introduces Legendary Gems, if they remain socketable only in jewelry.

"A variation on the retreat and ambush stratagem uses the
Ess of Johan most effectively. First, send out a small group
of soldiers to confront the enemy and create the appearance
of being overwhelmed. When they retreat, the enemy will follow
to finish them off. Just as the pursuing force realizes it's
been led into a trap, employ the artifact to deny its escape."
