Notes

  • While a bit MP-hungry in comparison to the Scepter of Storms, this one deals crazy amounts of damage and outclasses the Scepter of Devastation regarding the amount of targets, even though damage dealt per subsequent target is lowered the quickest out of every scepter.

  • The Grotesque Scepter outdamages the Scepter of Devastation up to 78 WIS (at least against the first target), which makes Grotesque Scepter more favorable on Sorcerer builds that don’t place much emphasis on high WIS.

  • The temporary Stun might be a bit of a problem as it cancels out one second of firepower, which can be detrimental especially if a large party is shotgunning the boss at an extremely dramatic rate, negating any chance to compete for Soulbound.

  • Regardless, this scepter can tentatively be used as a main scepter. In the right hands, it will be immensely powerful.
