Thanks for all the questions, comments and feedback. I actually just started my stream if anyone wants to check it out. On a Demon Hunter kick right now, but the crusader will return.
Wowzer, you have some NICE fire damage rolls, congrats on RNG it loves you! I'd be curious how hard I would hit with the 93% fire damage along with my increased block chance damage.
I like your suggestion of Shield Glare, I'll have to try that out tonight. Thanks for the correction edits and insightful additions
Why do you need fire damage so much? Blessed Shield itself is physical damage, is it not? Fire damage only applies to small portion of our overall damage which is Explosion.
Hey ssViolett, if you turn on advanced tool tips, you will see Blessed Shield's damage turns to fire damage entirely, not just the Combust.
With a fire build my Blessed Crits for ~12m on elites. I don't think that switching to 1H is a good idea.
Also only Block Chance from you Shield (an actual item) is multiplied. It doesn't help you if you have 75% chance to block. Same goes for a passive that increases your armor by your shield's block chance. Only your item's stat is taken into account.
I have 100% fire damage with ~600k dmg and it's way more powerfull than 'unlimited shield' especially since i have Cindercoat and Reaper's Wraps. Shield is 15 wrath, and i have ~150 max wrath.
Your 100% wrong on this, please read the section where someone else said this. Temp buffs and passive DO in fact increase DPS, it has been tested hundreds of times. You can Google or read the post on this as well.
I also said that I don't yet have all of the gear yet, including cindercoat & Reapers wraps.
Could you post your profile and a SS of those hits, just curious to see them in action! Also, you can't really comment on how powerful something is, unless you have tried it yourself. Please give it a try and you won't go back to something that spends wrath.
Hi There, your not doing anything wrong, you are just not following the guide or the build. This build requires the 1h flail - Gyrfalcon's Foote which removes the cost of Blessed Shield. In addition, here are the things to note when going for the InfernoShield build:
+Fire Damage is extremely important. My +Fire damage is 47%!! +Find some +damage % to Blessed Shield, mine is currently @ 14%
Missing Judgment - Resolved, greatly increases crit chance on targets'
Missing Towering Shield Passive to increase your block % to increase DPS
Skill Rune - Shattering Throw
Increased damage from 50% to 333% weapon damage
Known Issue: The tooltip for this skill rune does not reflect this change
Its Amaizing for elite packs when 3 or 2 mobs
Thanks for the suggestion, I have found combust to be the absolute best for this build. The explosion hits every mob, instead of splitting off into single target skills. I also like the +Fire damage options that are available from drops. Now if I could only find those drops!!
Glad towering is working for you as well. Its an essential part of the build imo.
Maybe not the best place to ask, but still - how it is possible to get such legendaries, since there are a lot of them, low drop chance - and you need exactly this one. You cant trade it now, right? So the only way to get it is grind-grind-grind-... So, getting few legendaries a day you need one from 200 or 300 current legendaries? This can take ages, or I am wrong somewhere?
Also, do you get legendaries to your class only? No int or agi items for crusader?
I would suggest always playing with friends, maybe another crusader so you are getting the same type of drops that you both can trade/use. Also gamble the hell outa the 1h weps and you will see it eventually! RNG is RNG butyou will eventually see one.
Best of luck!
I still cant understand. For example check this guy http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/jabby-1608/Thor/39008054. Check his rings - almost perfect! Amulet is even more perfect! How the hell it is possible to get such items if you cant trade it? Previously youcould waste several hundred bucks to buy gold and get anything from AH, but now. I am playing D3 since release and never had even a single perfect or near perfect item. And this guy few weeks from release already have full set of almost perfect items. Chanses to get one such item is about 1 to million. I dont get, it cant be simple luck.
Time spent and RNG, that is all there is to gearing. Also always playing with a full party is great because you CAN trade drops and reroll main stats etc. if needed. I have quite a bit of my gear that was obtained that way.
I thought the exact same thing when I saw them on the front page, but I had to re read the text. Those rings won't stack damage for Blessed Shield because we don't actually spend wrath unfortunately. Just as Life gained per Wrath spent does not work because we aren't spending anything with the 1h flail....that would be amazing if it did work though!
So the numbers are in! 8 - 12 million crits on Blessed Shield and around 2-4 million crits on explosion from combust! Almost a broken spec after the changes, so much damage flying out constantly.
Changes now LIVE! This is likely going to be one of the hardest hitting (non cheese Thorns build) out there!! I'll post my new numbers when I get home from work. Anyone else have a chance to try this build? Really looking for some feedback on how awesome it is....
Blessed Shield
Increased base skill damage from 280% to 340% weapon damage
I found 2 Jekangboards so far, 1 with 10% block, another with 'life per wrath spent' and extra armor...
Also, that is one thing I really miss with this build, life per wrath spent is so great for healing.
There is a spot in the build for any skill you want. If you do need some extra healing for wrath spent, I would suggest Heaven's Fury with the no CD rune. You can spam it 3-4 times for some hefty, fast heals and some solid damage...if only it was FIRE damage hehe.
With a such high block chance, you will be surprised how much damage you don't take, its pretty solid imo.

I have nearly capped blocked %
+ Fire Damage
+15% Blessed Shield Damage
I also run with a full party all the time. We don't have our DH tonight for mark, but here are some examples.

For reference 7.2 million crits + 20% from DH mark = 8,000,000 + crits with ease.

Anyone else have a chance to try it yet?
Blessed Shield
Increased damage from 105% to 270% weapon damage
