astinoth#1761 just sent you a request

as far as gear goes there's some minimal changes you could do, re roll the move speed on your boots you only need 10% provided by your ring, try to get crit chance on your shield instead of the block chance, and a few other minor rolls. your weapon isn't bad just the affix is a little blah i would try to upgrade your amulet first to get more holy dmg. and personally i think maximus is one of the most op 2h weapons in the game fire chains hitting for 8 mil 3 times a sec is pretty amazing.(i don't know the actual amount of times it hits/sec but it seems like quite a bit :P)

as far as your build goes these are the changes i would makehttp://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/crusader#UkORlf!eSYa!ZaYYZb

I use a lightning variant of this build and I'm soloing t5 relatively easilyhttp://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Astinoth-1761/hero/43648642that's the link to my gear so you can kind of tell what to aim for, hope some of this helped and feel free to pm me with any questions. GLHF

hi there, this is a link to my crusaderhttp://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Astinoth-1761/hero/43648642 if you feel you dont like the high cost of foh you can switch it out for blessed hammer thunderstruck and switch out either finery or vigilant for blunt depending on how many gems you have. as far as gear goes its a little easier if you post a link to your character but just as a general rule you want to stack crit chance and crit dmg make sure tehres a socket in your weapon and that you have a higher level emerald in it.

you can get wrath regen at the very least on crusader shields and flails not sure about anything else, just got done trying this build on t2 the only things i changed was akarats champion i still used my heavens fury ascendancy, and my passives i used finery( i have more gems equipped than you) and righteousness this passive made it so i was almsot never wrath starved just from keeping my punish buff up. with that passive i would definitely switch out shield glare for steed charge endurance or judgement resolve. this is the gear i was usinghttp://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/astinoth-1761/hero/43648642 hope this helps you out great build.

the only thing i can see is that shield glare kind of hurts your damage since for 4 seconds enemies wont be attacking you which means you wont be blocking not sure how dependent you are on that wrath generation but if its not completely necessary i would try using judgement - resolved. but other than that i like the build and it looks really fun going to try it in game now

basically you have to make choice between dmg and toughness, dont feel bad about dropping your toughness for a dmg increase. reroll the %life on your weapon for a socket and get an emerald in there that will be the biggest dmg increase you can get. look at the list shoqzie posted essentially you want everyone of those slots to have crit chance/crit dmg (if they can have both) and strength. and as a minor note you re rolled FOH dmg on your shield but youre not using the skill you want to roll that in to crit chance. The best advice i can give you as far as getting gear is that if it takes you more than ~30 secs to kill elite packs on t1 then youre better off just dropping it down to normal and quick clearing bounties, the legendaries that drop are exactly the same and you still get deaths breath and marquise gems. hope this helps

technically enemies can still get hit by it it is just much harder, i find it much more optimal to place one outside of the pack of mobs and then start spamming it. also as an added note if you have more than one crusader in your group using fissure they will link to each other hope this helps.

@OP I would get rid of either judgement or shield glare for heavens fury ascendancy. the reason why your clears on torment are slow is because you have too much cc in your build and not enough damage, i encountered the same problem when i was using actual cc skills. this is the build im currently usinghttp://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/astinoth-1761/hero/43648642 i only just recently switched to blessed shield because it is currently the best fire based wrath spender, i use burst from justice as my cc its really all you need as it procs quite often, reroll your bracers for +elemental dmg, switch out avg dmg on yoru puzzle ring to crit dmg and the LOH on your wedding band to crit chance and you should see a considerable dps increase. also if you havent re rolled yourhelm yet i would re roll the vit to crit chance, if you rolled the socket i would switch it out for crit chance.

@docsun not really sure what kind of play style youre going for so a little hard to help with the build but as far as your gear goes your stat priorities should be crit chance>crit dmg>str>+ele dmg>cdr>ias as far as re rolling an item goes.

If you're playing solo you don't need provoke you can switch that out for another skill for more survivability/dmg whatever you feel you need more, i would change your justice rune to burst gives you some cc and more aoe. Also you may want to try using the thunderstruck rune for blessed hammer i like it much more than all the others.http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/astinoth-1761/hero/43648642 this is the build I'm using and I'm easily farming t3, just change the blessed shield to hammer. as far as your gear goes you seem to have everything rolled correctly all you can do is wait for better gear, hopefully try(and i use that term loosely) to get more gear with +ele dmg.

This is the build im using with my maximus,

Left Click - justice - Burst Right Click - Blessed Shield - Combust

1 - Steed Charge - Endurance/Akarat's Champion - Rally

2 - Law of Valor - Critical

3 - Heaven's Fury - Ascendancy

4 - Bombardment - Impactful Bombardment

With this build i play as a ranged caster, standing pretty far back and spamming skills using my demon to tank mobs most of the time using my steed charge to re-position for fire chains. Maximus is probably one of the most op 2h wep if you know how to take advantage of the passive, that being said a schaffers with FOH - Fissure is probably the strongest build you can use right now(patch 2.0.4)
