Build Guide

Pour commencer

Essayer d'avoir n'importe quel item qui se rapproche le plus des affixes que j'ai donné, même avec seulement du rare vous serez déjà capable de faire du T1 avec facilité jusqu'en T3 ou vous commencerez à rencontrer des difficultés, vous pourrez alors si vous avez les plans commencer le craft des légendaires de set. Si vous avez des plans légendaires je vous conseille donc d'aller farm l'Anneau de grandeur royale (ne loot pas à chaque fois) qui est très utile pour cumuler facilement plusieurs sets, vous le trouverez dans les caches horadriques que donnent les primes de l'Acte 1.

Craft

Les meilleurs objets à craft premièrement sont les sets dans l'ordre d'importance; Auguild, Born, Capitaine LeRouge, Cain. Cela vous permettra de faire du T4 voir du T5 selon ce que vous aurez trouvé à côté ou si vous avez des gemmes légendaires. Vous pouvez aussi craft des amulettes c'est une bonne façon d'accélérer le loot d'une amulette avec de bons rolls sachant que c'est le plus difficile à trouver.

Gemmes légendaires

A ce stade évidemment il faudra une châsse dans chaque anneau et dans l'amulette et ça dépendra de celle que vous trouverez mais les trois meilleures de manière générale avec un stuff de base et ce build sont:

Mirinae la première à booster 2000%+ des dégats de votre arme c'est juste insane pour le début.
Couronne de foudre la seconde pour la même raison 600%+ c'est énorme pour le début surtout que les dégats sont de foudre donc seront augmentés par l'élément foudre comme vos marteaux.
Fléau des puissants si vous tuez les élites rapidement pour avoir le bonus en permanence elle est parfaite sinon vaut mieux préférer Amplificateur de douleur par exemple; très bon DoT (1200%+) et bonus d'AS.

Almost T6

Maintenant vous arrivez à un stade où il vous manquera juste le set d'Akkhan ou de Roland pour pouvoir faire du Tourment 6, donc continuez à bien farm la Kadala elle aime ça de toutes façons et c'est réciproque enfin pas toujours.. Selon ce que vous trouvez vous pourrez partir vers un build ou un autre.

Important vous pouvez avoir +15%dmg Marteau béni sur le casque, les bottes et le bouclier ce qui est non négligeable.

Conclusion

Ce build est fait pour bien démarrer avec le croisé et farm T1-T3 avec facilité et/ou le plus vite possible en étant équipé seulement d'objets rares de quoi obtenir les objets end game pour aller en T6 ou faire les GR plus rapidement. Il est équilibré et polyvalent, très bon DPS multicible et monocible même avec rien comme stuff et une tankyness encore meilleure. En résumé je connais pas un meilleur build pour démarrer avec le croisé.

Si vous avez aimé ce build voici mon build Marteau béni HL pour rush le T6 très facilement: Thor

Si vous voulez plus d'informations/explications ou même voir en action le build la vidéo est là pour ça.

Enjoy!
Merci!

~ENGLISH~

Beginning

Try to have any item whose affixes are near the one I give, even with only rare items you’ll be able to go in T1 with ease, even T3 but you’ll start to have difficulties. Then you could try to craft legendary items and sets, if you have the right plans. If you have legendary plans I recommend you to go farm the Ring of royal grandeur which is very useful to accumulate easily several bonus sets, you will find it in the Horadric Cache (don't loot everytime) which give the bounties of the Act 1.

Craft

The best items to craft, first of all, are sets (in order of power): Aughild’s Authority, Born’s Command, Captain Crimson’s Trimmings, Cain’s Destiny. These will allow you to farm T4, even T5 depending on what you have found. You also could craft amulets, that’ll force an amulet with good affix to come, because it’s the most difficult to find.

Legendary Gems

At this stage, you’ll need a socket in each ring, and in the amulet it’s better too, depending on the one you find. But, basically, the three bests with a basic stuff are:

Mirinae: The first you have to level up, deals 2000% and more damage, that’s insane at the beginning.
Wreath of lightning: The second one, for the same reason because 600% is huge at the beginning, and the damage are lightning ones, that means they’ll be raised by lightning element, as your hammers are.
Bane of the powerful: If you are fast enough to kill elites to have permanently the bonuses, this is perfect. Otherwise it’s better to think of Pain Enhancer for example, it gives a very good DoT (1200% and more) and gives AS at rank 25+.

Almost T6

Now you are at a step where the only items left will be the Akkhan set or Roland set in order to farm T6. So don’t forget to continue to farm Kadala, she loves you… and sometimes you’ll love her, believe me~
Depending on what you find you can go in a way or another one, you choose.

Important: You can have +15% damage for Blessed Hammer on Helmet, boots and shield, which is not insignificant.

Conclusion

That build is very nice to have a good start with the Crusader and farm T1-T3 with ease or/and the faster possible being equipped only with rare items, so you’ll be able to obtain end game items in order to go in T6 or do GR quite faster. That build is equilibrate, versatile, with a very good multi target and single target DPS without very good stuff and a good tankyness. Overall, I don’t know a better build to start with the Crusader.

If you like that build go check my crusader build based on Blessed Hammer at High Level in order to rush T6 very easily : Thor

If you want more information or explanations, or even see that build in action don’t forget to have a look at the video which is in French and sorry for my english is not my main language.

Enjoy!
Thanks!
