Hey guys, with the incoming new Legendary that will give "Your allies gain the benefit of your Thorns", I waswonderingif a 4 men Crusader build will come out, where everyone is max thorn with the Axe that gives damage based on Thorn and all the other goodies.
While I like what they are trying to do with thorns, this change has solidified the fact that I'm still shooting for Akkans as my set. I play solo most of the time and this set sounds like it is built solely for group play now.
However, I think this could be a really effective set for a well geared group of Crusaders, assuming that the set stacks with other people who have this bonus too.
I think it will be Only a FUN build. However, it won't work on Greater Rift
With the New Greater Rift, once you pass Level 30, almost all monster will kill a player in 1 hit.
Therefore a Thorn build will be very difficulty to perform, if Crusader could not survive even 1 hit

That might be where the gem of stagger damage really comes in handy. Pair that up with the more than doubled LoH and life regen and you have some pretty good sustainability.
The build could work in theory depending on how the extra thorns and stuff is calculated. Like if it give your thorns damage before or after iron maiden, etc.
Think I missed the post about this being the intended Invoker's set change - where was this listed, anyone have a link?
EDIT: Ignore me! Missed that this was a new legendary, and not the set change. Still wonder what they're gonna do with the set... Said they'd make changes to it.
