Build Guide
Hello,
This build is intended for those of you who decided to play Crusader class on S4 and are looking for stable and reliable farming build that can solo farm T6++ and as well deal some reliable damage! The focus of the build is to farm Death Breaths faster and to have good mobility and damage for bounties!
This setup is not something new, I've been running similar spec ever since PTR 2.2 and I've decided to finally put together a build here and help fellow Crusaders.
In order to use this build in a proper way, you'll need: 3 pcs. from the Roland's set, Cindercoat chest, 2 pcs. from the crafted Sage's set, crafted Piro Marella shield, The Furnace weapon. For the Cube: In-Geom weapon, Pauldrons of the Skeleton King shoulders from A1 bounty reward and Ring of Royal Grandeur from A1 bounty reward. If you still didn't find Furnace you can use either Maximus or any suitable 2h weapon of choice, I recommend Furnace because of the additional damage vs Elites which will ease your farming speed since killing Elites and farming Death Breaths is one of the main focuses of this build! Hellfire amulet with finery or any of the above passives for swapping!
In-Geom weapon for the cube is the next mandatory item, with this weapon cubed you can easily get rid of most of the Cooldown Reduction (CDR) rolls on your items and gain permanent or near permanent Steed Charge which is the main mobility skill for this build, if you still don't have enough CDR you can swap the Holy Cause passive for Lord Commander passive and that should fix any any remaining CDR issues that you might face. I recommend using Diamond gem in the Helm's socket and at least 1 more CDR roll for example on the Roland's shoulders! The build is very simple and easy to use, you just require several items, which can be crafted also from Kanai's Cube with the Upgrade recipe which transforms rare item in to a legendary, for example if you don't have any of the following: The Furnace, Maximus, In-Geom or Cindercoat, you can try crafting them in the Cube that will increase your chances of getting this items faster.
The rest of the items are either craftable or bounty rewards, which are very easy to get! I recommend crafting the exact same pcs. of Sage's set just because this slots are very easy for crafting and in most of the ceses you will get the desired roll in just very few attempts!
The build is suitable for beginners and advanced players, with the 4 pcs. Roland's and Furnace or Maximus it's guarantied that this build will perform nice and smooth in T7 difficulty which is the lowest level for farming max bounty materials!
Note: There is a second variation of the build that is also viable, and that is to cube Cindercoat and use 4 pcs. Roland's directly equipped and drop the A1 shoulders and RoRG for Cindercoat and either Convention of elements ring or Zodiac for the additional cooldown or swap the shoulders for Leorics crown and wear diamond in the Sage's helm to double the cooldown! Also you can swap the main weapon for Swiftmount flail both ways in cube or equipped depending on the situation and the gear you have available on your disposal in the moment, the ideal setup would be with Furnace equipped or cubed.
I hope you enjoy this build and find it helpful!
Best Regards.
