I think a good idea for Crusaders is to let Shield Block Value scale with Strength or maybe Stamina, when using a 1h. Either with the Heavenily Strength passive, or a seperate one *looks pointedly at Hold Your Ground*
This would work well for crusaders as it would give ALL crusaders a toughness boost (even the damage based crusaders, as they'd have lots of Str>lots of block), and would even give the more shield based Crusaders a small damage boost as alot of the more tanky shield based abilities scale from Shield Block Value as well as Weapon Damage.
I like the idea of it scaling with vitality. Crusaders already get a double bonus from Str (dps and armor), so vit increasing block chance/amount would allow for vit to help more for all classes equipping a shield.
But then that further gimps Crusaders that choose not to used 2H+Shield.....
The only real options seem to be that HS gives a bonus to 1H or the negative aspect of HS is made greater.
I think reducing the movement speed further could work, but then you'll find someone who gets that leg shield or finds a new build that negates the negative effecti of the reduction in movement speed (aka high uptime steed).
Typically, I think Blizz likes to buff when they can. Maybe some sort of benefit of heavenly strength 1H could be something like increase the damage of your 1H strikes by 10%. I mean, you do have heavenly strength coursing through your veins and all...
