Notes
When this item was first added into the game, it was not soulbound due to an error that was made by DECA. This resulted in the item being sold for enormous amounts until this was patched a day later.

This sceptor was changed along with the Sorcerer rework to have lowered base damage in exchange to scale with both WisMod and AtkMod. This, along with the Sorcerer’s max attack increase to 75 allows this scepter to do more damage than ever before. However, using this scepter on a unmaxed Sorcerer will cause it to do less damage than a Tier 6 Scepter of Storms while also hitting 1 target instead of 5. Its MP cost is also rather low, being 15 MP cheaper than the top-tiered scepter.

However, it only damages 1 target and takes a lot more wisdom and attack to increase the target amount, meaning that for the most part you will be only striking one or two enemies at a time. This scepter is extremely useful during boss fights when crowd control is not a concern and there is opportunity to get in direct lightning attacks against the boss.

Previously, With a Conducting Wand or St. Abraham’s Wand, Ritual Robe and Geb’s Ring of Wisdom, a maxed Wisdom Sorcerer can obtain 91 WIS & target 3 enemies at once with this Scepter, dealing 1,230 damage to the first target, 1,210 to the second & 1,190 to the third.

As the Scepter now gains 25 damager for every attack above 65 on its shockblast creating a attack focused build can reach incredible numbers. With a Wand of the Summoned One, Vesture of Duality, and Fractured Hannya, a maxed Attack Sorceror can obtain 126 ATK dealing 320 damage to 1 target and 1,775 damage to 5 targets with its shockblast. Allowing a maximum of 2,095 damage to a single target with 0 defence. Using an Effusion of Attack will grant +15 ATK and an additional 375 damage. The greatest problem with this build is that you MUST keep your distance with this build, as you’ll have only 31 DEF (+6) max & 710 HP (+40) max.

Also note that this scepter has an aiming cone twice as narrow as the others, meaning you will have to aim carefully to land hits. Additionally, using attack as the main stat allows for equipment previously focused into wisdom to aid in increasing normal DPS with a Sorcerer’s wand.

History
Before Exalt Version 3.0.0.0 (Aug 2022), This sceptor only included WisMod on damage.
