Changes: The Furnace

Revision as of 00:29, 27 August 2014

The Furnace is a Legendary two-handed mace in Diablo III. It requires character level 31 to drop.

It offers the highest Elite Monsters damage bonus in game, surpassing even the Stone of Jordan and Sun Keeper.

Prior to Patch 2.1, it had another unique affix instead: a chance on attack to deal 6-8% of the victim's current Life, most useful against bosses in the beginning of battle (chance reduced by the Proc Coefficient). It could not be enhanced and could not score Critical Hits, worked even when equipped on Eirena, only triggered once per target from one skill, had no cooldown, and the maximum damage it could deal at once was limited (seemingly by the character's own Toughness). This affix was removed due to balancing reasons.
