Just sharing the build as I've been having a blast in T1 with it and it's not really dependent on any specific legendary. Main gist of it is playing with Condemn (Vacuum), Fist of the Heavens (Tempest), and Heaven's Fury (Ascendancy) to pull mobs into a pit of stacked AoE damage. The primary Wrath builder is Justice (Burst) for more AoE as well as stun and the ability to range hit while avoiding ground effects or just deal with elites that like to scatter to range. Also have Falling Sword (Part the Clouds) for more burst, more stun, and a get of jail free card if surrounded or otherwise stuck in a spot I don't want to be.
The last skill to fill out the spec is Akarat's Champion (Rally) which I pop on champ packs or other things that merit it (Rift bosses, etc.) Rally can reset Condemn, Heaven's Fury, and Falling Sword very quickly for some quick repeat burst on tougher packs.
All-in-all, it makes for a build very flexible on positioning - while I burst and cluster mobs with Condemn - I can easily stay at range when necessary and still do very nice output. My only gripe is Heavenly Strength restricting max movement speed to 10% but the damage range of Blackguard is simply too good to pass up.
Although the spec isn't reliant on any one legendary, I will say that between my sword and shield, I have really enjoyed the combined 53% reduction in control impairing effects. Very nice if you do get frosted, stunned or the like - you are out quickly. Also, the high 31% block percentage on shield makes a passive like Divine Fortress pay very large dividends. Overall stats aren't showing right in profile for whatever reason - some of the enchants where I flipped attack speed to crit aren't showing, etc. but in-game damage is ~615k and Toughness ~12.1m. I also have another yellow crit shield that is less defensive but can push me to ~670k damage or so and only drops toughness to ~10.9m or so which is still very survivable. Honestly, I can and have jumped up Torment levels without feeling survivability be an issue - T1 feels better for pace of killing right now and is working very well to farm legendaries/set pieces so I can get my damage up and raise torment levels.
I may throw up a vid at some point but right now I've been enjoying playing too much to stop and edit
Built a quick video of a Nephalem Rift run in this spec - no frills or editing - just raw game footage and audio -- but good 1080p HD encoding. Actually was a good rift to show because there were a lot of ranged type elite packs that would give a more melee/position oriented Crusader difficulty. Also, has a fairly cool version of Act III keymaster as the Rift Guardian - very cool ground effects and abilities.
Why did you have an 1-Hand weapon, and skill Heavenly Strength ??
Interesting, hadn't noticed the online profile was displaying it that way before. Anyway, it is an armory profile bug. In game, Blackguard is a 2-hand weapon.
Separately, glad you are enjoying the build, Ruskor. I'm still having a blast with it as well - scaling well as the gear goes up and also managed to fit in some items that amp Condemn, Falling Sword, Justice, and Fist of Heavens damage. Haven't been able to get items that have allowed me to work in +Lightning and/or +Holy but aiming for them.
