A Warlock without an Ultimate fights incomplete, but the Scepter of the Three turns every strike into preparation for overwhelming Ultimate power.
Scepter of the Three is a Unique Two-Handed weapon that lets you equip all Ultimate Skills while greatly increasing their rank and overall effectiveness.
It is designed for Ultimate-focused builds that rotate powerful cooldown skills and build damage before unleashing them in high-impact combat windows.

The following is a sample of the Affixes of Scepter of the Three with an 850 Item Power variation of this Unique Two-Handed Mace.

Scepter of the Three Unique Power
You can now equip all Ultimate Skills and gain 15 Ranks in them. Attacking enemies with no active Ultimate Skill builds up your Ultimate Skill damage by x [4 – 8%], up to x [80 – 164%].
After starting Ultimate Skills, the damage bonus is reset once all have ended.
Scepter of the Three Effects
You can equip all Ultimate Skills at once, allowing multiple powerful cooldown abilities to be used within a single build setup.
Each Ultimate Skill gains +15 Ranks, dramatically increasing damage output and improving their effectiveness during burst damage windows.
Attacking while no Ultimate is active steadily builds a large damage bonus that greatly increases the power of your next Ultimate activation.
This bonus encourages constant combat activity, rewarding players who stay engaged and build power before committing to their Ultimate rotation.
Once Ultimate Skills are activated, the stored damage bonus resets after all effects end, restarting the build-up cycle.
Scepter of the Three Uses
Scepter of the Three is best used in builds that focus on stacking multiple Ultimate Skills for high burst damage combinations.
It performs extremely well in boss fights where you can safely build damage stacks before unleashing all Ultimate Skills at once.
It also works well in elite encounters and dungeon clearing, where repeated combat allows you to rebuild your Ultimate damage bonus consistently.
How To Get Scepter of the Three?
Scepter of the Three drops from high-level Unique sources, including elite enemies, dungeon rewards, and endgame Lair Boss hoards.
The most efficient farming method is defeating Andariel, since her hoard is one of the best sources for Unique and Mythic drops in endgame content.
Verdict
Scepter of the Three is a strong Unique weapon built around empowering all Ultimate Skills and stacking their damage before activation.
Its strength comes from ramping damage, rewarding players who stay active in combat before unleashing full Ultimate combinations.
When used properly, it enables extremely powerful burst windows that can quickly delete bosses and high-value elite targets.
