Hey all, I play two different crusaders that I have done very different gearing strategies with. One runs holy skills + CDR, the other runs fire/lightning without CDR. The lightning version of Crusader #2 is the one I am working on now. I do seem to have trouble with champion packs, if I pop AC/Provoke/Phalanx/Laws and the pack stays in melee with me they die really fast... with 1 caveat: so do I. However, without these CDs and the need to move constantly I do struggle slightly killing packs quickly and cleanly. Currently running T4 solo, T5 in a group with minimal deaths, but certainly room for improvement and definitely not T6 ready.
Current build:
Justice - Burst
Blessed Hammer - Thunderstruck
Akkarat's Champion - Hasteful
Laws of Valor - Critical
Phalanx - Bowmen
Provoke - Charged Up
Passives: Fervor, Blunt, Holy Cause, Finery.
Sheet DPS: 1,335,701
Toughness: 8,921,738
Main points of gear:
Crit hit - 51.30%
Crit dmg - 482%
Attack Speed - 49%
Str - 9676
Armory- A few things I am thinking about swapping would be the vit on my helm for blessed hammer or crit, Also looking to improve upon shoulders (rolled for health globes to try out wrathful but I haven't found better yet), Legs, Boots, higher Crit on neck and that's about it for my plans. *1* - Also thinking Reaper's Wraps, but would need to be a good roll.
I do also have a Soj with 15% lightning, 494 str, 45% crit, 28% elite dmg. I have not re-rolled this yet, so I can go for 20% lightning or Fire if I wanted, not sure if I want to use this, but I probably should.
Currently using a 1h, as my first Thunderfury is *slightly* ridiculous. Open to any suggestions or anecdotes here, some people say Schaefer's and others say Odyn Son, but I don't see many people suggesting TF. Proc rate of Justice = ~.6, proc rate on hammers is ~.33 or so from what I've read, which has often made me wonder if + justice damage and the 15% attack speed passive would make it a better tool for killing RGs or loose/squirrelly champion mobs(things that don't like melee range)

Thanks for any input or suggetions!
