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

Long years before men civilized the land that would come to be known as Kurast, primitive shamans bludgeoned their human sacrifices with hellish devices.

Elite slayer with a gold bonus

The Sun Keeper noticeably boosts your damage against elite enemies while also dropping more gold from slain foes. That makes this mace a clear specialist: against champions, rare packs and bosses you extract the most, while the gold bonus polishes your farming haul on the side.

Thanks to holy damage and a primary attribute that can roll as any of the three, the weapon suits several classes, but it shines above all in setups already built around grinding down strong individual targets. My tip: deploy the Sun Keeper in Greater Rifts dense with elite clusters or in boss fights, where the percentage increase weighs heaviest. Pure trash-mob damage stays untouched, but everything dangerous melts away all the faster.

Properties instead of a power

The Sun Keeper has no legendary power in the strict sense; its strengths are fixed properties. The bonus damage against elites rolls between 15.0 and 30.0%, so a copy at the top end doubles the bonus compared to one at the bottom. The extra gold from monsters sits at 71–80%. Both only work while you wield the mace yourself, since there is no power to put in Kanai's Cube. Primal Ancient copies reach the maximum on each.

Stats and use

Holy weapon damage is built in as well, and the mace rolls 626–750 Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence. As a one-handed weapon it fits the main hand and, when dual wielding, the off-hand. It has no class restriction, and followers can wield it too.

A tool from Kurast's distant past

According to the flavor text, the weapon dates from long before men civilized the land that would come to be known as Kurast. Back then, primitive shamans bludgeoned their human sacrifices with such hellish devices.
