Yeah - Crusaders are really not that efficient overall - we are mostly clunky and wrath regen sucks for the most part -- so we are very dependent on certain items.
I suggest this - Open a Torment 1 or 2 Rift and basically non-stop run through -- don't stop for "trash" -- just pull it all to the elites and champ packs you find. Kill it all, rinse and repeat -- popping every single chest you see. Kill Rift Lord. And then gamble your shards. First get someNemesisBracers, so that way you canequip them for Shrines and Pylons to spawn elites/champs. Then gamble to get some indestructible shoulders - that will keep costs down overall. Then gamble for Shields - you want one with a "orange" ability that helps you kill stuff. And craft the biggest Red Gems you can for gear - forget resistances. In your helm you want either MF or CDR. STR is the most important stat overall.
Repeat this until your eyes bleed. Every time you drawl a blank and are skunked for a legendary in a Rift run - go do a Act 1 Bounty fast and then go back to Rifts again. Every 2-3 Rifts - go do another Bounty, repeat this cycle until you get the Bounty Reward Cache. Restart game and do it again until you have the RoRG.
And yes ignore the paper-doll sheet for damage (IAS is way to highly rated for Crusaders for example), until Blizzard actually makes it useful -- I just track the amount of crit damage I do on a monster and adjust from there. And remember Armor is more important for most defense concerns.
Eventually, your main goal will be to have the "right" about of CDR along with Elite Damage Increases.
@Ult15 - Maikeru... looking at your profile - you have way to much life/vit/tough. You cannnot "live" your way through elites/champ packs, you have to kill your way through them.You have no where near enough damage for T4.
You need to farm Act 1 Bounties for the ring RoRG and add a piece to Blackthorns. Also you need to craft two pieces of Aughilds and with that ring - get the 3 piece bonus. No one with 3 yellow items, especially jewelry, should expect to do T4 easily. And your weapon doesn't really sync with your build. You have no real heavy resource spender (how many blessed hammers do you really need?), so first priority is get another weapon. And the shield is not ideal, you have a build that screams I will go toe-to-toe with elites, but yet your shield concerns movement speed.
I clear T4 solo easily, and group for T5 without issue (on my own I would take to long in T5 to be efficient). I am just missing 1 more piece of Akkhan to adjust the build for T5. Remeber you are better off in the Torment level you can do efficiently than trying to do a higher level that slows you down a lot.
