Eschuta's Temper

Eschuta's Temper is a unique Eldritch Orb, an item exclusive to the Sorceress.

With a more consistent boost to Sorceress skills and a high magic find, may seem like a safer choice for a unique sorceress weapon. However, Sorceresses that specialize in Fire Spells or Lightning Spells may find Eschuta's Temper more useful.

While it might appear that Eschuta's Temper will provide a great boost to someone's overall Fire or Lightning Damage, this amount only stacks with the values provided by Fire Mastery and Lightning Mastery. For example, Eschuta's Temper only adds up to 20% Damage on top of the 338% that is received from Lightning Mastery at level 25, which is only a 4.56% increase in damage.

Because the bonus damage stacks with the masteries, Eschuta's Temper is not very efficient, since it doesn't increase the total damage by 20% (that is stated on the item), but it adds up to 20% extra to the values of masteries instead. (for fire) and (for light) are superior in comparison to Eschuta's Temper.

The sister orb, Death's Fathom, does not suffer from the above problems because Cold Mastery works differently, thus making it a much better option over Heart of the Oak for Cold Damage Sorceresses.

Eschuta's Temper is the cheapest alternate option for fire sorceresses that cannot afford Vex Runes or the Heart of the Oak Rune Word.
