This is a T6 speed build I've been playing the last few days, it works well in group as it has little/no mobility issues thanks to Fervor/Lord Commander/Swift Mount. Damage is not an issue either should you have an ancient Swift mount and some well rolled jewlery. If those aren't an option see below, the gear selection is quite versatile and can be set up several different ways.


At no point will I claim this is the fastest setup for farming bounties/reg rifts or anything of that nature. I've gotten enough positive feedback from this general set up that I felt like killing ten minutes to post it.


Try to resist the urge to go full ham and leave your party in the dust as you clear. No one likes luggage in those settings, however being that person to go racing ahead for clear time makes you as bad as the guy who wants a free lunch. Not really though. Point is don't be a jerk in game.


Stat priorities on gear are as follows:

Helm- Str/ChC/Shield Bash%

Shoulders-Str/Vit/CdR/RCR

Chest- Str/Vit/socket

Legs-Str/Vit/socket

Gloves-Str/vit/chc/chd/fire%(Magefist)

Wrists-Str/chc/elemental%/vit

Boots-Str/vit/all res

Shield-Str/chc/shield bash%/vit or block chance. 45% or higher reduction on the affix is a must.


Ammulet/Rings-Strength or Elemental%/ChD/CHC. Trifecta errywhere.


The great thing about this set is that it is able to meet several different needs depending on what the user wishes, high gr builds are fairly well known at the moment so I thought I'd present an alternative for people new to the class, or experienced players looking for something different that works very well in solo/group T6 farming.


Normally I hate Ring of Royal Grandeur in dps crusader builds, T6 being what it is the ring is acceptable damage and more importantly allows for several interesting configurations in gear. For example you can drop the set chest/boot slots as well as Molten Wildebeast's Gizzard(use Eff Toxin) for Cindercoat and Firewalkers and enjoy melting trash packs with nothing more than Steed Charge, and using bash to dump elites. The beauty of Steed Charge is that this form does not prevent you from opening a chest (harrington's) or picking up some choice loots as you clear.


You can also drop the set chest/glove slots for a Cindercoat/Magefist or Gloves of Worship whichever you feel is going to serve you/party best. Same goes for the helm slot, Leorics will do just fine should you really wish to push the CDR envelope with Fervor/LC or if you don't have a Swiftmount of acceptable quality.


If you haven't got Swiftmount, Maximus or Furnace will do just fine, though I prefer maximus for the visual effect and the fire chain damage which has great distance. Works very well with Eff.Toxin as well. In this case you may wish to go with a Cindercoat/Leorics to help with cooldown on steed charge.


Of all the item slots, the only two that I would say are highly desired (not manditory) would be a Cindercoat and Swiftmount. Cindercoat for the RCR as bash becomes part of your mobility with swift mount being the other larger side of mobility.


The build shouldn't be run below 45% crit or 300% crit damage. Don't worry about stacking fire damage to the gills, simply put we don't have the roll space to cause enough DR(if any) for it to matter. If you wish crank your fire damage to 120-130%, be aware after that point that chc/chd/str will win in terms of damage output. Attack speed is to be ignored unless there was or is a worse stat on the piece of gear you wish to use.


Don't worry about damage loss from using a one handed flail, the Rolands set bonus/Drakkons lesson and gear stats mentioned above make T6 a cakewalk, in point of fact while maximus is fun in this setting furnace is not. Too slow to attack and unless you're carrying freshly leveled friends you won't need the overkill.


Should you have a trifecta HFA with Holy Cause or any of the passives mentioned above I would not hesitate to equip that. If you have a trifecta Star of Azkaranth don't be afraid to equip it, I have one and it comes in handy when you're in a high dps setting and several exploding elite packs die at the same time.

Focus and Restraint are options but after a point overkill, and using a generator will slow you down slightly.


Enjoy the build, feel free to add suggestions gear choices thoughts etc. This is a simplistic build there are other options for gear etc.

Core is Move speed then everything in strength. Nothing special. No vit. Maybe vit for hardcore.


Offense: As you need chc/chd, then cdr last is aps.


Defense: It's T6, kill faster. Also see Gizzard.


Utility: RcR first, especially if you use the 6 set bonus for Rolands. After that as you wish.
