LOL holy fak this class is getting trolled hard by the devs. Literally every single idea suggested in this forum and the bnet forum was better than this "buff" to sweep attack.
Is this a bug or did you just miss read something on the sweep attack shield?
"Each enemy hit by your Sweep attack increases the damage of your next sweep attack by 30-40%%+, stacking up to 5 TIMES!" = (200%)
and NOT like you said in the Video:
"Each enemy hit by your Sweep attack increases the damage of your next sweep attack by 30-40%+, stacking up to 5 TARGETS"
"The benefits cap out at five targets!" (10:55min)
Am i wrong or what? I dont want a cookie 4 that!
What he meant is that the bonus only goes up to 200% so even if you hit 5 or 10 targets the buff to the next sweep attack will be 200% which for sweep attack isnt that much.
All in all the shield is a big let down starting from the part that its not a crusader shield ( it cant roll cdr,wrath regen etc etc. ) and on top of that its the worst item they could have put that affix since you cant you piro marella.
The bonus of Denial should have been included on the Golden Flence weapon and as previously suggested granting all runes of sweep attack would have been a lot better than this 200% dmg.
Can you link the build and gear setup you used via d3planner.com or something? Or just write it down here. That would be awesome. Nice vids by the way, I've been watching them lately.
Hi MannerCookie I would like to know what gems did you use with SB/Crumble and also how you did to stay alive in that grift 52. LoH? Regeneration?

2.3 Fire Rolands Shield Bash [Updated S4]

Why fire oriented and not physical? How is the last rune in shield bash department from your POV ?
Fire is the best rune for sure, the aoe it gives off the proc and the way it's attack radius works (straight line) is quite efficient.
Physical (last rune) is clearly best for Single Targets but Crumble provides much better timing throughout the entire run.

Manner, do you think a Holy Shield Bash build would be viable, with Ashbringer and Piro?
holy shield bash animation is really clunky and ashbringer proc is only good for luls
