Ceraunus

Ceraunus is a greataxe from Cataclysm. It is weapon 48 of 58 in Heavy Load, a Pursuit of Mastery quest chapter, and one of the two item quests on the Storm Eye line of Act III. It is a lightning weapon, and the more you dodge and parry, the more of its attacks you can use.

Obtaining#

It is made at a Mechanical Fusion Anvil by fusing a Runic Greataxe with an Essence of the Storm. Essence of the Storm is a guaranteed drop of Scylla, the Sin of the Storm.

Usage#

Its tooltip works on skill points. A Perfect Dodge or Perfect Parry gives you a point, and three attacks spend them:

Key Cost Effect
1 1 skill point Throws Ceraunus forward
2 2 skill points Summons a sector-shaped wave forward
3 3 skill points Leaps forward, releases lightning in all directions and summons waves

The tooltip’s Left Shift line points to an innate skill, but the game gives that skill no text of its own.

Moveset#

In Epic Fight it is a sword. Its default Two Handed style has a three-hit basic combo and an innate skill of its own.

Epic Fight weapon category: Sword. It can't be held in the off hand.
