Shattering Justice is a returning item introduced in the Skills 2.0 Update.

Upon hitting an enemy 5 times, that enemy receives the PulverizedPulverized (Debuff)
Reduce armor greatly.Reduces armor by 60. debuff for 8 seconds (+8 seconds per stack), which reduces their armor by 60 points. Since most enemies don't have any or have very little armor, this item usually sets their armor to a negative value.

The build-up effect, a stacking debuff known as Pulverize BuildupPulverize Buildup (Debuff)
Upon getting 5 stacks, reset all stacks and apply the Pulverized debuff.
(stackable), lasts for 2 seconds, multiplied by the proc coefficient of the hit. Once Pulverize Buildup has stacked 5 times, all buildup stacks are removed, Pulverized is applied, and that enemy cannot receive more buildup debuffs. Because the duration of the build-up is affected by the proc coefficient, damage-over-time effects like the Tri-Tip DaggerTri-Tip Dagger
Gain +10% chance to bleed enemies on hit.
10% (+10% per stack) chance to bleed an enemy for 240% base damage. do not put any build-up on enemies.

Notes

• This item can be seen as a mostly consistent damage buff for almost all characters, as the way the game calculates damage through armor also accounts for negative armor and greatly increases damage accordingly. The value is approximately 38% more damage for normal monsters and about 55% more for average bosses (depending on their armor).

Tips

• The Shattering Justice pairs well with the Death MarkDeath Mark
  Enemies with 4 or more debuffs are marked for death, taking bonus damage.
  Enemies with 4 or more debuffs are marked for death, increasing damage taken by 50% from all sources for 7 (+7 per stack) seconds., since Pulverized and Pulverize Buildup both count towards getting even more bonus damage from the Death Mark.
  • Note that Pulverized and Pulverize Buildup are mutually exclusive, so an enemy cannot be afflicted with both at once.
• In multiplayer, it is wise to give this item to the player with the highest attack speed whenever it appears, as the debuff is applied after 5 hits from any ability regardless of its damage. This means Shattering Justice is best on CommandoCommandoThe Commando is a jack-of-all-trades character that is reliable in all situations of the game.

Lore

Shattering Justice Owner’s Manual

Excerpt from section 2.13:
... and if the target material doesn’t cave under the immense weight just keep hitting it until it does. The patented technology inside the face of this tool doesn’t just use brute force to break down its mark, it also utilizes a formulated nano toxin, released through internal mechanisms, that builds up through subsequent contact. In other words, each hit makes it easier to break.

Please refer back to section 1.8 for information on proper handling and the included anti-toxin gloves...
