It's still a minor dps boost, and several other runes are still interesting, such as the 50% damage reduction one, which helps a lot in higher Torments.
Hello fellow crusaders, any advice that you can give on my build/set up ? I'm currently breezing through t3 and t4 seems kind of slow. But I feel looking at my stats that I should be doing at least t5. I'm still working on my Akkarat set, only 3 pieces so far. But the rolls aren't that great and it's a 100k+ damage decrease. Though I'm not sure if I'm going by that number too religiously. Help is appreciated!
You're mostly lacking % Holy damage increases, notably from neck and ring (SoJ would greatly boost you), possibly from Shield (consider crafting a Hallowed Barricade and gambling for a Jekangbord) and I would also recommend gambling for weapons - there are many better ones out there.
You also have plenty of options to gain far more useful set boni - Asheara's, Aughild's, Born's - your chest, gloves and shoulder especially can easily be replaced with average rolled pieces from these sets (I recommend Aughild).
Currently running T3-T4 easily either solo or group play. Have a pretty solid item setup but would love some input on where to spend my Blood Shards and any suggested upgrades/crafting I should do to increase my damage and progress.
I already know I need a Maximus with Strength and Higher Dmg and am working to reroll Piro into something with [Strength/Crit/+% Block/Shield Bash Dmg]
But anything beyond that would be greatly appreciated!
I'm using the lightning build from Kapsu and can do T2 quite easily now. I survive T3 solo, but I don't think it's very efficient just yet. I'd like to get some feedback on my current build :http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Stragulus-2158/hero/45858852
I really love condemn - vacuum so I put this in instead of shield glare because it is much more efficient at drawing in enemies, plus it fixes the issues with this build and elites/bosses that run away from you and strike you from a distance. It doesn't generate wrath, so I switch between the blessed hammers and justice. Downside to that is that against tough elites/bosses I will run out of wrath temporarily which slows everything down. With shield glare instead of condemn I don't have this issue as much, but cowardly elites are then more annoying.
I'd really like some more all res, so I'm saving up for better gems. Shouldn't be too long now. I also do have an Ouroboros amulet where I could reroll life on hit for crit. damage. Good choice? :http://imgur.com/97I2jPO
With the combo flail+shield I can run T4 no problem, even tho I'm very undergeared for it. Thing is, I can't find any decent necklace with +Holy or +Fire damage, but I have tons of +Physical items in the bank.
Is there any efficient Physical build out there, so that I can actually use my best gear? I'm willing to change, I'm not particularly fond of the cheesy build I'm using now :/
Running t5 hardcore, cant even imagine how could i transition to t6. Need to rise toughness, sheet damage, get rolls for heavens fury etc. Any tips?
Pretty much have to min-max your current gear and hope for better rolls i'll list a few here but man it's going to take time and good luck.
Pants - all res and health globe bonus, boots - health globe bonus, FoTF - higher damage roll and CDR, gloves - health globe and maybe crit over vit? not sure how comfortable it is for you considering i can only do T3 on my HC crusader without fearing for my life. Shoulders - Healthglobe and vitality instead of life%. Bracers - healthglobe and 6% damage reduction.
i'd say your biggest loss of damage is not having any CHD on gloves/rings which is 150% total on perfect rolls. only problem is that RoRG is quite decent so i assume you will just have to drop vit from unity/gloves for crit which unfortunately can't really be made up any where else. Really hard situation to be in just tossing out some thoughts that come to mind
Tbh i'd run wrathful over finery becaue the healing from heaven's fury is pretty huge, and worth the ~700 strength you will lose
Running T3/T4. Obviously I needThundergod's Vigor,Schaefer's Hammer, and Lidless Wall. Other than those items I mainly need gloves but not sure what else.
Don't know about wrathfull, runned 80k health globes and didnt got really that much value of it. Atm thinking about running blackthorn belt+amulet for 10/10 and 250 vit.
Hi experts! Currently running T3 easily either solo or group play. Would love some input on where to spend my Blood Shards / changes to build and any suggested upgrades/crafting I should do to increase my damage and progress.

If you want to proceed with the build you're currently using or variations of it you should either try gambling more Akkhan's set pieces or try getting a good 2-h weapon. You should also try to get more cdr when you start approacing 6 piece set bonus. As for Akkhan's I would say start of whit getting the legs first. Your shield is also missing blessed shield damage, but I'm not sure if you should dedicate too much into trying to get almost perfect version.
As for changes to build:
Especially important in group play is to have law of valor, shield glare can also be amazing skill in both solo and party.
I would personally swap phalanx for law of valor at least, and possibly provoke or steed charge for shield glare.
Thanks! What 2h weapon should I be looking for? I will start gambling for the legs tonight!
So I need some advice. I have no real Idea what I am doing though now that I finally got a leg crusader weapon (sadly not the one I wanted... I was running a Blessed shield before and was hoping for grifalcone) I figured I would try a hammers build to see if I can break out of T1 and into T2. I still seem to be getting killed though from bad combos. Any advice would be great; also I am aiming to switch up my weapon into a slot I just have not been lucky enough for that to happen yet.
I'm currently farming on T4 comfortably, but today I had two really lucky drops: the last piece for my Akkhan set (helmet) and a decent Hellskull.
As I am changing a lot of gear today, I wanted to ask you about rerolling some of those items, mainly my two Akkhan pieces that I'll be wearing now (I was using 3 pieces for now, as I had far better pants). I'll stick with a CDR/Holy build, but my main questions are regarding survivability, I see to lack enough healing and I have the choice to reroll Vita or AllRes to Crit on my helmet, as well as two different pants to choose from.
I think I should favor the pants with Life after Kill, but I'm not sure... what are your opinions?
Newbie crusader here. I am looking for a build that can do T3-T4 without Akkhan. Right now I am doing a Fire Hammerdin build, but without the Furnace. I am doing alright in T3 with a Maximus. You can view my gear here.
I had a BLADE OF PROPHECY drop yesterday. Am I better off switching to a Condemn based holy build? Here is my regear plan:
You also have plenty of options to gain far more useful set boni - Asheara's, Aughild's, Born's - your chest, gloves and shoulder especially can easily be replaced with average rolled pieces from these sets (I recommend Aughild).

Perfect stats as soon as you get crit :).

Tbh i'd reroll the fire damage to high crit damage. it's still a decent upgrade with higher str, crit and average damage over as.
