Quote from Thornagol» I like the idea of it scaling with vitality. Crusaders already get a double bonus from Str (dps and armor), so vit increasing block chance/amount would allow for vit to help more for all classes equipping a shield.
Aye, the more I think on it, the more I think it should be Vit... Maybe something as simple as
"Heavenly Fortitude
When using a 1h weapon your Vit is added to your shield block value"
This way not only do Tanky Crusaders get a buff, but it also allows them to build tanky, while not having godawful damage. Their damage still wouldn't be anywhere near the level that a full Dps crusader can reach, but it wont be quite as bad as it is now :p.
I'd love if they added more of these types of skills that used non primary stats for each character. You get some oddball builds that may work if people gear for it.
Heavenly Strength reduces your MAX speed by 10%, so you are capped at 15%. That is unless you have the legendary shield that removes the speed cost of heavenly strength.
And yes no reason not to use a shield as a shield's armor rating adds to the damage of a Crusader, not to much the other really useful stuff on the shield.
