Minimun Requirements: In my opinion you should aim for 10/13 ancient items , 52% cooldown(CDR) , 14k STR , 45% critical chance(CHC) , 350 % critical damage (CHD) and 30% Physical Dmg for this build to be smooth in TX 4man. You can try it with lower stats if you playing solo or around TVIII.

Follower: Scoudriel (extra CHC is always welcome)

Mechanics: Phalanx snapshots your current status the moment you activate it (Damage,CHC, CHD, AS) Thus, try using it last with all the required buffs active & your Harrington Belt buff when possible.

Rotation: Akarat>Law>Phalanx(fully buffed bowmen) - Law>Phalanx(fully buffed bowmen just before Akarat fades) - Law>Phalanx (without Akarat buff). Start over. Use Judgement/Shield Glare on Elites. Other than that, stay on the move (hexing pants) and lead your army to victory!

5th Passive: Long Arms of the Law .

Options-Variations:

Rift: In-geom + Harrington.

Bounties: Swiftmount + Krelm (Get to your objective like flash using perma horse on steroids).

GRs-Ubers: The Furnace + Witching Hour (Extra AS , CHD)

By the time you aquire all the required items, you will probably be around 700-800 paragon so paragon distribution wont be an issue.

In any case, prio your 25 % movement speed and your minimum CDR (around 50 %) . Put rest points as shown in the paragon table above.

Build Guide

WARNING! This requires a very specific and demanding ancient set of gear to work - it is NOT recommended as a starter farming build .

Hello D3 community Wertom here, this is my first guide so be gentle.

To begin with , i would like to refer to MeatHead Mikhail Chariot Speed TX youtube video and thank him for all the useful information that has provided from the PTR. Having said that , i am presenting you my personal refined and tested on live version of the crusader pet build, ''One Man Army''.

I have been dreaming since Season1 a viable Crusader Pet farm build .The introduction of the new LoN ring set this season, made it possible!

This is a Torment X-XIII farming build that can be used to steam roll in 1-4 man rifts or bounties and low lvl speed GRs. (<60) So,mount up and lets do this.
