Soulsmasher is a legendary two-handed mace in Diablo III. It requires character level 12 to drop, and can only be found in Act V or Act IV Horadric Caches.
Its most notable property is turning a player's Life per Kill to damage. However, it is hardly an efficient solution, especially on higher difficulties, as resulting damage does not increase from a player's Primary Core stat. Contrary to description, it does not possess any kind of the 'slain enemies rest in pieces' property: the corpses do not explode, just release a purple blast on death.

"This massive mace does more than merely slay its victims. It quite literally shatters their souls, releasing the energy contained within in a massive blast. If it was indeed crafted by my brother Malthael, as I suspect, it may have been a failed first attempt to free human souls for his consumption. How long, I wonder, had his madness gone unnoticed by those closest to him?" —Tyrael, Aspect of Wisdom
