this spectacular, my speculations were true, I'm running tests.
These are the key points I've seen for better performance:
1 Physical damage
2 Reduction of costs (important)
3 seek more bloquedo shield (min 30%)
4 high Elemental Resistances
talking sweet attack. It has higher attack speed, more control and lower cost of resources.
We hope blizzard last word on the new changes and implements for the crusader.
Golden Flease - Makes it so you can sweep attack to gain wrath. Sweep will give good denfense and lots of dmg to setup hard hitting shield bash
Full Set - Buffed sweep and shield bash
Piro Mirrello - Reduce wrath cost - craft till you get a high block w/ crit
Stack phys dmg + gear in bracer, neck and soj
I'd probably run RoRG and do aughilds bracers and shoulders as I have a good roll on those this would give a significant defense and dmg boost vs elites and in general, seems a no brainer.
Skills:
Primary: Sweep attack - Holy Shock -> Generates wrath and heals (phys dmg)
Secondary: Shield Bash Shield Cross - Hard hitting w/ aoe (Phys dmg)
Skill 1 - Provoke - Hit Me for dmg and block or cleanse for significant healing
Skill 2 - Shield Glare - Divine verdict for dmg or Zealous Glare for wrath
Skill 3 - Phalanx or Bombardment for wrath independent cooldown
Skill 4 - Second wrath independent cooldown or alternatively Ironskin for survival. You could also run a law here with crit or toughness. Hell you could even run akarats prophet for oh shit moments.
Passives: Finery, Heavenly Str, Lord Commander, Optional choice
Choices:
Indestructible - great for GRifts Holy Cause - Extra dmg
Renewal - More healing
Towering shield - Even harder hitting shield bash
About SB damage (Shield Bash) of the crusader, the blocking probability in general will influence the skill damage? or only blocking probability of the shield?

It's total block chance for your character not shield. The tool tip is misleading. This has been confirmed many times but is also easy to test if you want with a helm of rule(sp?)
I am personally looking forward to this set. It would be nice to have a build that is viable post T4 that doesn't "require" Akkarats. Where in this build, AC may be an option you can take if you want, it isn't necessary.

We have two posibility spears:
1. Physical Damage.
2. Elites Damge.

Looks like it has lots of potential. Thoughts?
Insane damage though, cant wait to try this set out.
