Mad Monarch's Scepter
Mad Monarch's Scepter is a legendary mace that is found only in Reaper of Souls. This item can be found and equipped by any class. Maces are popular items for all classes except Demon Hunters.
The Smart Drop system ensures that this legendary mace will usually roll with the mainstat appropriate to the class that finds it.
- This item can only be found from Act One Horadric Caches and is thus a common incidental find as players seek the Ring of Royal Grandeur.
Mad Monarch's Scepter properties[edit | edit source]
This item has a very powerful legendary affix, launching a highly-damaging (1050-1400)% poison nova that hits every enemy within 30 yards each time ten enemies are killed. A buff icon appears on the belt interface with a counter for the 10, and since monsters killed by the nova count towards the next counter, it's possible to trigger this effect repeatedly in rapid succession on crowded screens, making a mockery of wave events such as Cursed Shrines.
Players should keep an eye on the counter and use this item strategically. For instance, if the counter is at 8 and there are 2 or 3 monsters nearby but a large group up ahead, it's wise to rush to the larger mob so as to trigger the explosion with lots of enemies in range. It can also be useful to *not* spend time beating on an Elite, and rather to run along to another large group of trash and kill them, thus triggering the nova again, and damaging the Elite with that.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
This item is identical in appearance to the massive maul wielded by Leoric, the Skeleton King, when players fight him in Act One. His version is just larger, more the size of a two-handed maul rather than a one-handed mace. See screenshot above.
