Build Guide

Blessed shield benefits from Roland 6 Piece even tho the wording doesnt say.

My guess is that it was coded in at an early stage and then they just forgot about it..;)

Its great fun! Maximum attackspeed , 5 APS!

Ive made a build with it, got some nice items a couple of primals and augments.

So far ive tested and done grift 75 without any effort.

With a nice grift i could easily push further.

With this build no other active skill than Blessed Shield itself is requiered.

Using other skills can actually decrease the dps becuase it interupts the stacking of blessed shield.

Im guessing all stats should be oriented for max dps, but you need some life on hit.

Crit, crit damage, holy damage and life on hit are my priorities on all items.

High block can be a priority on shield/ring since it counts for damage with Blessed Shield.

Its lacking a bit in the damage departement since the Roland 4 piece set bonus doesnt do anything.

(If that had applied this would be the number one build for crusaders).

But with the amazing attackspeed maybe there are some synergies we can find.

For example the Mirinae gem that will proc quite often.

Im gonna see if i can manage to make a build without gyrfalcons foote.

Thats gonna be extremely hard because of the attackspeed eating up the wrath, but if you can get the ressourse use down to a minimum (1) its possible to use the obsidian ring of zodiac and get permanent akkan. It also opens up for use of something crazy like corrupted Ashbringer, hiting everything for 6000 % holy damage at 5 attacks pr sec when it procs
