I build this Crusader from parts of my barbarians fire gear, critique on gearing and build would be great!
Some words on my own findings though. I was playing t6 (with unity instead of the soj) yesterday and although my sheetdps and elemental damage are pretty good (I would say), the damage output was OK, but I would have expected more from FotH itself.
When firestarter comes into play though, the dps skyrockets, elites just melt. I think the gap between firestarter/no firestarter is very big. But otherwise, sets should make the difference in highest torment. So I won't complain Still, I was able to clear a t6 rift with reasonably density in about 12-15 minutes. I might drop to t5 though.
Then I got a Darklight (http://i.imgur.com/DnfPbWA.jpg) with pretty medicore roll and I found that the wrath exposure is too high, damage output too low compared to my maximus. I really loved the 15% CDR from fervor, but all in all I would say that this flail only shines with akkhan set/permachamp in terms of applying dots fast.
**Now here is where I really need some suggestions!**
Wrath!
So, I think with shield glare and the bonus from my shield, I am having a pretty good wrath sustain across the board. I was even thinking about dropping punish for provoke, netting me a second cooldown to fill up my wrath instantly.
But sadly, this would have a big downside. As soon as I am fighting a riftboss or similar, I would struggle without punish. Do you think it would be worth it?
Then again, I could drop the andys for aughild helmet, using reapers wraps. But that would make me loose 20% firedmg, of which I don't really know if it's worth it.
Passives!
I think everything except holy cause is set in stone for me. Would you suggest another passive here? Maybe righteousness (I already got the +25 wrath from paragon) or towering shield?
So in general, what would you improve on and what would be a viable build without the arkhan set? I can craft all sets (born, crimson, aughild, cain, asheara) if that might help
So you advice crafting str shoulders? Then bracers? Bracers would make me loose 12% MS and 8% IAS. Also going for non trifecta IK gloves would make me loose a lot dps and IAS, too :/
They give me 6k DPS, but make me loose around 11K life. That is insane! Would those crafted ones have rolled more str, they would be godly.
That leads me to two questions: Looking at my current setup, what would you guys keep crafting? Shoulders, amulet or even gloves? Also, which shoulders would you wear? Crafted or old ones?
I mean, I don't die that often, even with 11k less. But I like them though
Which one would you prefer for farming? I think hota makes it much easier to kill runaway-elites and also goblins on high mp. You sacrifice 10% crit from opks and the nice aoe dmg for high density packs, though.
It might be possible to get both by dropping bash, but I really don't like to play without a spender. Also punish is a great rune as you can carry the 24% boost through WWing. As long as you channel whirlwind, your WW dmg will be +24%.
So, what's your favourite?
I was thinking that too! This is my profile: http://eu.battle.net...2/hero/11772143
Switch overpower with wotb, profiles are not updating atm Would go for mp10 ubers with rend and hota sometime, but that is something I have not tried yet.
I recently got my hands on two weapons. I want to use one of them as MH for DW and ubers hota build. Notice that for OH I want to get an ef with lifesteal, socket and str.
So, which one would you guys keep? Paperdps wise, they are about the same, few hundred difference.
I am looking for a mainhand, axe or mace with around 600-1200 dmg range, open socket, str and CHD, black dmg only. Might aswell drop str for very high CHD or LS 2.5% at least.
I am currently building a new set for a WW build (see build in my profile here http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Xedriell-2582/hero/11772143). I am missing a mempo (gonna get a high str one with 9% IAS to hit breakpoint) and a IK belt.
I want to efficently farm essences and XP whilst having fun (I tried skorn/rend build before and I really didn't like it. So back to DW ) also would like to farm UBERS if possible with that gear.
So finally I gotta get two weapons and this is where I need your help, budget for weapons 500-700m both together:) I want to use an echoing fury in OH and a mace/axe or sword in MH. So my first question is: Would a sword be a good choice or would I lack to much CD?
I think in my budget I should not look for a EF with CD, so I will stick to 150+ str, a socket, 0.24-0.25 aps and 15% or less fearchance. Correct me if I am wrong please
I also need LS on a weapon. In my understanding it would be better getting it on the EF and invest into more DPS on the MH weapon, is this correct? So I would look for an EF with 2.7% or more LS.
MH would be an axe/mace/sword with 150+ str, socket, CD (how much should it be at least?).
I tried out that rend build and I hated it (I spend a lot of gold on gear before I noticed that this build was utter crap) Am gonna go for this one now: http://eu.battle.net...URZP!YZd!YZZYZc
Before the rend shit build I was playing ww with semi good gear and it was a lot more fun. With HOTA you can smash elites faster and get your demonic essences, which is impossible with the crappy rend build. You run KD 2 like mad, die from exploding mobs here and there and don't get any essences.
Also playing without a fury spender just felt so wrong. It worked, but I never really got used to it.
Yeah I guess I will save more gold and then perhaps going for a good echoing fury and amulet with critdmg.. Also would like a vile ward, but those are damn expensive for if I want a decent upgrade...

First of all, I still got my old shoulders:

They give me 6k DPS, but make me loose around 11K life. That is insane! Would those crafted ones have rolled more str, they would be godly.
