Feels like most the player on this thread are kind of undervaluing Finery as a passive....
I definitely will agree that most of the Crusader passives feel a bit weak/lack luster compared to other classes, but among their passives, Finery is really one of the best/only choices to get a significant increase in your DPS from one of your passives, provided you have the sockets to make use of it.
Ideally you'd be geared enough that you don't have sockets on some of your items as a Crit dmg, crit hit, etc stats would be more valuable (or an STR role) than having the socket in the rings.
But as a stop gap measure to increase ones armour and base damage? There's really nothing better in their passive tree depending on your situation. I mean what the other options are Holy Fervor? (sucks pretty much), and the +holy dmg passive that only works correctly if your weapon has Holy damage?
Situational sure! Bad passive? Not really it's one of the better ones, but that's not saying much.
