Pool of the item type from the game files, version 2.8.0. Skill damage bonuses only carry weight for their class. All properties of this slot

The cold-tempered steel of this weapon cradles a mote of pale light. Ancient beyond measure, its creator and original purpose is unknown, but the flail is now revered by the crusaders as a symbol for the role they play in the world: a light to pierce the darkness.

Fist of the Heavens, Doubled

Darklight boosts one of the Crusader's most iconic skills twice over: Fist of the Heavens is cast twice and strikes far harder in the process. A single hammer of the heavens becomes a double impact with a hefty damage bonus - a massive boost for any build that puts this skill at its center.

The flail is the obvious weapon choice for Fist of the Heavens Crusaders and unleashes its force best when you land the double strike precisely on elites or tightly packed groups. Watch your resource and cooldown management so you fire Fist of the Heavens as often as possible - because each cast counts twice thanks to the effect and drives your overall damage noticeably higher.

One cast, two impacts

Fist of the Heavens costs 30 Wrath: a lightning pillar explodes for 545% weapon damage as Lightning within 8 yards, then 6 bolts crawl outward for 255% each. Darklight fires the whole thing twice and adds a further 800–1,000% damage. A primal ancient flail reaches the 1000% cap.

Which rune suits the double cast

  • Fissure: each fissure hits nearby enemies for 410% over 5 seconds, and if another fissure is close, lightning arcs between them for an extra 135% - with two impacts per cast a natural partner, provided both land close together.
  • Retribution: converts to Holy, pierces enemies for 270% and explodes within 8 yards for 435%.
  • Heaven's Tempest: a fiery storm dealing 100% weapon damage per second for 5 seconds.
  • Divine Well: holy bolts zap enemies within 18 yards.
  • Reverberation: knocks enemies away and slows them by 80%.

The flail's stats

Base damage is 192-355 with 1.40 attacks per second; most of the weapon damage comes from the fixed +(981–1,199)–(1,175–1,490) Lightning Damage, which matches the skill's Lightning damage. Fixed +626–750 Strength comes on top. The power also works from the weapon slot of Kanai's Cube. Darklight is frequently combined with the Crown, Brigandine, Gauntlets and Chausses of Valor, Squirt's Necklace and Vigilante Belt.

According to the flavor text, the creator and original purpose of this ancient flail are long forgotten; crusaders revere it as a light to pierce the darkness.
