Still a lot of room for easy upgrades -- especially +%BS damage -- so I'm expecting another big increase in damage over the next few days. Also crossing fingers for a Ring of Royal Grandeur, which they have been especially stingy on.
My initial shield hits for 6 - 7m and the subsequent hits are around 2m without shield glare or anything else. With cooldowns it does a good deal more and with the exception of Akarat's (which I take for rifts -- doing bounties atm) the cooldowns are relatively quick anyway, especially with fervor. I have absolutely no issues with single target dps. In fact, to my surprise, my crusader has an easier time with single target dps than my wizard does (check my profile) and I think my wizard has better gear.
All in all this build is very good.
I haven't experimented much with fire though. Without the +% fire damage gear it will obviously pale in comparison to holy, so I can't honestly test it.
Well that's good to know. Unfortunately my Gyrfalcon's is physical damage instead of holy, but I suppose that's not a train smash.
I've been taking fervor actually, which is a nice skill.
Quick question: Does blessed shield take damage from the base stats of your shield or does it actually take the current overall block chance with buffs?
I think everyone has success with the build lol. You are talkingabout one of the staples of the Crusader, use with Shattered Shield and watch the bouncing begin.
So I got these two items and they're fairly decent versions. It seems like a completely OP combination in theory, but I find the application to be slightly underwhelming. Has anyone else had success with this build?
