This is a build guide for what is currently performing as the 2nd best build on the PTR for patch 2.6.1. This build was taken from some amazing Sader's in the top 100 ranking on the current ladder

For patch 2.6.1 we get 2 item buffs which make bring this build back to us.

Fate of the Fell

Heaven's Fury gains two additional rays and has its damage increased by 375-500%

Bracer of Fury

Heaven's Fury deals 300-400% increased damage to enemies that are Blinded, Immobilized, or Stunned.

Outside of those 2 items this build had not changed much but the power growth has been huge.

ITEMS:

Akkhan Helm --> Str, CHC, Socket (Diamond for CDR)

Akkhan Shoulders --> Str, AD, CDR

Akkhan Chest --> Str, Vit, Socket (Diamond), Reduce damage

Akkhan Gloves --> CHC, CHD, AD, CDR

Akkhan Pants --> Str, Vit, Sockets (DIamond)

Akkhan Boots --> Str, Vit, MS

Traveler's Pledge --> CHC, CHD, Socket, AD

Compass Rose --> CHC, CHD, Socket, CDR, AD

Justice Lantern --> CHC, CHD, Socket, CDR, AD

Bracers of Fury --> CHC, Holy%, Str

String of ears --> Str, Vit, armor, %life

Cord of the Sherma --> If you have enough damage reduction this will help buff you damage significantly.

Fate of the fell --> %Damage, CDR, Str, Socket (Emerald)

Ivory Tower --> Block%, CHC, CDR, Can be replaced with Shield of Fury if your shield has the 30% roll on it

CUBE:

Shield of Fury --> Used for massive damage increase. Can be swapped with Ivory tower but you need the 2 of these together

Aquila Cuirass --> Damage reduction. We spend very little Wrath so we almost always get the damage reduction while above 90%

Unity --> Again for damage reduction. Not much else needed in this slot

Build Guide

Hello all my thinkers..... how are you all doing today? I wanted to create a video / guide for all my followers on what is a fun crusader build for patch 2.6.1. This Heaven's Fury crusader is performing well on the ladder with having cleared over a GR100. I had fun running this build especially when you get hit a bunch and just see your shield fier away.

Play style is fairly simple:

1. Keep Akkharat's Champion up as much as possible.

2. Use vacuum to pull in a group of mobs and get them close to you. Remember this build relies on you being hit so close mobs equlas more damage

3. When the mobs gets pulled in use judgement on then to immobilize them and get the damage bonus to your heaven's fury

4. Attack with punish to get the damage reduction and extra critical hit chance after blocking

5. Cast heaven's fury on CD

6. Use Iron skin for damage reduction and to move through mobs when needed

Other than that please give it a try and provide some feedback

Other than that guys its a very fun build to play so give it a try.
