    • Bane of the Trapped
    • Wreath of Lightning
    • Taeguk

Kanai's Cube

  • Justinian's Mercy
  • Hammer Jammers
  • Convention of Elements

gear/cube: wear the best roll of whatever you get, cube the effects otherwise. justinian's mercy certainly isn't necessary and you can cube in the furnace for damage, but it sure is fun and increases the speed of clearing small mobs during steed charge tremendously.


jewelry: strongly recommend having obsidian ring of the zodiac (either worn or cubed) to increase insanely fast cooldown refresh for falling sword, steed charge, and akarat's champion. avarice band with boon of the hoarder can also greatly increase speed and mobility for regular rifts. unity or stone of jordan are also solid rings choices. ess of johan or eye of eldritch are also solid amulet choices


gems: defensive gems (i had survivability issues): molten wildebeest gizzard, esoteric alteration, moratorium

offensive gems: bane of the powerful, bane of the stricken, gogok of swiftness

utility gems: boon of the hoarder (regular rifts/bounties)

Build Guide

This build is largely for fun, and just a fast and enjoyable way to play a lightning hammerdin-themed crusader.


As far as the playstyle/rotation:


1. steed charge to find a mob

2. activate akarat's champion (whenever you can, during combat)

3. falling sword into the middle of the mob, which will stun and proc hammer jammers.

4. activate your law

5. activate provoke

6. unleash a flurry of damage boosted, resource reduced blessed hammers. repeat as necessary, then steed charge again


fun, fast.
