Well Crusaders FINALLY got a huge buff with this newest patch (2.0.5). I thought it would be good to give the crusaders a bold/red topic like they deserve.

My previous Foote-sader build utilizing the Shattering Throw rune isn't nearly as good anymore, so I'm excited to hear what you will come up with.

I switched to a fire build using BS-Combust and it gives better single target DPS and it just feels quicker than BS-ST now.

Happy theorycrafting gentlemen.

I am using BS-Combust ATM also, but only cuz I have 88% fire ele dmg gear compared to less than half of that in holy.

With fire gear and 45%+ CDR, the falling sword /w superheated rune is fun. 35-58mil crits depending on gear, and some extra dmg when enemies stand within the pile of fire filth

Hey you copied my topic title! Pay me!

Akarat champ embodiment rune
Fate of the fell fires of heaven rune
Fill the other slots.

2.0.5 sader.

Ty men

bs dead? :(( rly hoped it would be okay

I take it back.
Went back to shattered rune.
With 15% IAS/15% CDR from 1h, holy cause being all dmg, finery boost, towering shield boost, and 35/15 AC boost you do retarded single target dmg.

hello ive been playing the crusader more now and its getting fun
have no idea about the builds
been trying get jenk shield + gyr flail but have not got it yet

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/ekaaans-2241/hero/38454439

this is the build
not sure if the best

i got all the others shield but jenk
and i got all the flails besides gyr

got any tips?

build around your gear
dont gear around your build

well I'm EU otherwise I would have tryed to clear t6 rifts at my own, even if the aoe dmg gets nerfed from like 333% to 175% I guess you're still doing okay, if I kill an elite group in 3secs or 6secs doesnt matter...
well you also gotta think 20% baseline dmg buff to bs so you're already at 195% or is it 210%(dunno if its * or +) so it's like 2/3 dmg from before besides the other buffs

well we gotta see

The issue is more that by reducing the damage down to 170% (or whatever the number is, its in the 170s) shits dying slower, which means more hits on me, which means I'm dying faster. I feel like I'm having a harder time in t4 whereas last week I was slamming through t5 at a decent pace.

Currently at work now, so I won't be able to do much more than stare at tooltips and troll forums until I can get home tomorrow morning and do some real thinking. Thank god I hoard all sader gear and have some legitimate fire/holy/light options to choose from.




Payment sent. But I improved upon the title by adding thread, thus making it longer and eye-grabbing, so you pay me.
