The Cranium Basher is a unique Maul in Diablo II.
With one of the highest chances of Crushing Blow of any weapon and very high damage, The Cranium Basher's main drawbacks are its very slow attack speed and very high level and Strength requirements. Being Indestructible makes an ethereal version impossible.
