I'm looking to start playing D3 as it's always interested me but I've never taken the dive. But a buddy has finally convinced me.
I tend to like games where I can play some lightning infused character that can equally punch you in the face or blow you up with magic. A battle mage if you will. After watching a lot of videos online it seems the crusader is a class in D3 that could fit this mold. But I'm a noob when it comes to understanding end game in D3 and much less about how viable a lightning-centric build can be long term.
I've seen a lot online which seems to indicate lightning based attacks are/were viable but I'm just looking evidence that this would hold up over time. I don't mind if the actual attack I use each season has to change. But for a pure RP-enjoyment part of the game I'd like to keep it lightning based.
I know nothing of how gear works or if/how it can be changed to fit your needs. I don't know if that then plays into what I'd be looking to do. I understand there are ways to enhance abilities but that's about it.
Lightning based Crusader is more of a fun, stun-based build now and in 2.4 patch. It`s not really effective in higher tier game. But if you're not going to be a hardcore min-max diablo player it`s ok to play.

How much of the end game scene is missed by not being a 'hardcore min-max diablo player'? Mind you I know nothing really of how the end game works yet.
Just mobs hitting harder and getting tougher, and achievements getting more digits. Core gameplay is the same, just little to none variation from one build (and style of game) to another in the same class. You get more loot, more gold, more legendary gems item levels also, but it`s more a means, than a goal.
