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

A weapon of myth and legend. Some say that to use it is folly—that it will rip the land asunder and boil the oceans.

The ground splits open

Sunder has a chance, on your attacks, to break open the ground beneath your enemies. This adds an extra, luck-based source of damage to your rotation without you having to spend a dedicated skill on it, almost incidentally, just through your normal swinging.

As a two-handed mace with high fire damage, Sunder belongs in the hands of strong melee fighters like the Barbarian or Crusader who land many hits per second. My tip: since the effect is only a chance per attack, you benefit most when you strike often and at several enemies at once, because that way the ground eruptions add up noticeably. In pure single-target situations with a slow swing rate, by contrast, the bonus comes out weaker.

The chance as the quality marker

Unlike many powers, what rolls here is not the damage but the trigger chance: it sits between 25–50%. A Sunder with 50% splits the ground twice as often as one with 25% - that is the deciding value when comparing two drops, and a primal ancient copy reaches it automatically. The power text doesn't reveal how strong a single eruption is.

Heft instead of attributes

With 1737-1912 base damage at 1.00 attacks per second, Sunder is a genuine heavy hitter, and it adds a fixed +(1,177–1,439)–(1,410–1,788) Fire Damage. What stands out is what's missing: there is neither a primary attribute nor a random property on the mace. If you wield it as your main weapon, your attribute has to come entirely from the rest of your gear. The slow swing also means fewer attacks per second and therefore fewer rolls on the power - one more reason to hit as many enemies per swing as possible.

Your follower can carry Sunder as well.

A feared legend
