So since I think most strong builds have been fleshed out, or at least for the most part. I figured I'd ask what you all think is incoming in 2.1 and what sort of changes you expect and what changes you believe will happen.
For example, do you think firestarter will be untouched? Will Smite actually become something useful? You think the current state of crusaders is good? Bad? That sort of stuff, and I believe we all know that WD are stupidly strong so let's not make this a "we're nothing because WD is too strong" how about a suggestion or idea that will push us towards a better state of game.
Personally I really think Saders need another set, having only Akkhans is build limiting, while AC doesn't limit builds, having other sets could open the door for strong builds not relying on a 6 set bonus and CDR. I really think some Sader abilities have strong potential but don't meet it due to lack of synergy. A set like Vyr's for Wiz's (activates every rune for archon) would be cool, I don't mean for AC either, current state that sounds really game breaking, but perhaps more along the lines of one of our spenders, Phalanx, others as well.
While I'm still on sets, I feel like a cool one could be "You no longer need Heavenly Strength to wield a 2h and a Shield" which would free up a passive slot, and with how useful a lot of our passives our, could open up more build options.
In terms of the current state of Saders, I feel all the power is stuck in two options, Shotgun or Firestarter (go figure), and some diversity would aide in that, perhaps not but nerfing, but with appropriate buffs. Still feel like Sweep is incredibly underused, to an extent the same with shield bash. I just feel more damage should be pushed towards the abilities/yellow damage (yes I know shotgun is yellow damage) instead of firestarter just being this "passive" dot.
I just feel there is a fair bit to be speculated upon and discussed about the future of crusaders
One big thing I'd like to see, to open up more builds anyways (may not be optimal, but viable)
Give us a couple more Cold skill runes (hell, they took one AWAY), so we can maybe even LOOK at the existing ones as options for, well, anything.
I main a wizard now but I do have another account where I played the heck out of a crusader in the early weeks of RoS and the main thing I wanted was a cold crusader. I haven't kept up with builds on crusaders but I like to see off builds.
We're getting a second set, but frankly, I don't see many people using it unless they have terrible luck with Akkhan's.
The potential of permanent Akarat's Champion is just so ludicrously strong... I'd love to see the set bonuses that could actually convince people to give that up.
I finally got my 5th piece of Akkhan's - and it's fun to melt face, but it is kind of boring - especially since we all know Firestarter will get nerfed...

I dont know that. I think firestarter is ok and the darklight build lacks survivability so its not unfair. But it def could get nerfed, its rather strong.
