This build is outdated, I'll have to remake it when I get my hands on a Gyrfalcon's lol I have every assumption that Gyrfalcon will turn Blessed Shield into a monster!
For the meanwhile I am just using my Explosions Build with triple Heaven's Fury Shotgun until I find that new toy tee hee
Thanks for the tips, but my build isn't that rigid. I change my build around depending on where I go, and I love experimenting stuff so sometimes I will have lots of DPS and sometimes I will have lots of toughness, and as such my armory isn't exactly something that is set in stone as a result. Also, why are you dissing the Gems? They are truly, truly, outrageous....
Roar is free damage when I am completely surrounded, don't even need to cast anything because I will just damage everything around me while I do my business bashing their face in and causing explosions! Of course it's terrible 1 on 1 or against smaller mobs, but that's when I switch over to use Celerity for the 15% attack speed bonus.
I thought about using unstoppable for shotgun spam, but I don't usually like farming alone so I take critical for me and my friends (well that and I have 50% crit already and like 400% something crit damage when I am farming T2)
Anyway here's the T4 Solo vids of me killing various elites and such on bounties and what not. It's not very fast, nor is it perfect (my health goes up and down like rough hard sex) but it's the price one has to pay to be somewhat tanky on the first week...But compared to solo OLD INFERNO T4 is a joke.
HELLO! I am mighty LuBu (#1403)! And I love Crusaders; they are my favorite class in Ragnarok Online! When Reaper of Souls was released I got so excited I just have to pretend to be sick and skip work so I can shield chain and grand cross MVPs to death and be a general menace to society! Today, I've decided to improve a build I've previously did with my Crusader, and the result was hilarious. I killed so many people, I punched a fat guy SOOO HARD he flew across the screen and came out a skeleton! Instant weight loss! The demon's skull looked like he was smiling, therefore he is happy and I will strive to bring happiness to all with this amazing build so that you too can cause MASSIVE EXPLOSIONS AND SMILES wherever you go...
Just look at how happy this particular skeleton is! If that is not the face of a frenzied laughter I don't know what is...
The Build and how it works
When I decided on my path of being a Crusader, I've explored pretty much most of the options available to me. You could go about being a caster or a fighter, either way Crusaders are almost always two-handed brutes. I've tried using the Blessed Hammer setup, but I just don't like the feel of it. I thought about it: I am a REAL MAN, on a REAL CRUSADE, what good is my shield if I can't use it to BASH my enemies face in and protect my friends? I might as well be playing a wizard. To this end, I've chosen to be a fighter and the creation of this particular build for others who share the same taste.
This build is a combination of high attack power and high survivability with the help of high block chance aimed at surviving higher torment level while still dealing enough damage to contribute. Right now I can SOLO TORMENT IV and DO TORMENT V and some of VI in a group. I won't bore you with all the details on how each skills work, so I will just list some combos I do...
Offensive: ++
I am a huge fan of Punish, the block chance increase and their associated buffs is a unique ability that only Crusaders can get. This particular setup abuses high block rate with Punish - Roar to generate constant AoE damage. Toss in a Provoke - Charged up and you have an option to bunch up various melee baddies and watch them BLOW THEMSELVES UP! (With added thorns damage) Alternatively, you can use Punish - Celerity for a sharp attack speed increase for 1 on 1 fights. Either way, Punish will help heal you for massive amounts combined with Renewal.
+
Condemn - Eternal Retaliation, the NUCLEAR EXPLOSION of this kit, becomes absolutely dreadful when combined with Akarat's Champion - Rally. Chain explosions of 1160% weapon damage every 3 seconds is a very funny thing. Alternatively you can run Vacuum if you want to suck in pesky ranged attackers, or Reciprocate for an even funnier explosion! Feel free to mix in a Provoke - Charged up to keep them busy while dealing EVEN MORE DAMAGE. Art is a BANG, yeah!
or+
As Wrath spenders go, I enjoy myself with my Heaven's Fury - Fires of Heaven Light Railgun for it's massive 950% damage beam. The weapon has a long range, deals MASSIVE DAMAGE on demand and if you are like me and have a Fate of the Fell, then the railgun turns into an even more dreadful LIGHT SHOTGUN! At close range, Normal mobs are VAPORIZED instantly with Champion mobs soon in a few more shots. Alternatively, even after all I've said about being a fighter, Blessed Hammer - Thunderstruck is a very efficient spell combined with Provoke. It's low cost and AoE coverage fits perfectly with the constant EXPLOSIVE AOE damage this build features. Terrible against treasure goblins though, use the shotgun for those.
Passives: +oror
Heavenly Strength for all intents and purpose is pretty much glued to every Crusaders outside of specific niche 1 handers, Long Arm of the Law allows you to keep up your laws perpetually with Akarat's Champion active, renewal is an OP heal for those who have lots of block, which I do.
As for the optional choices, hold your grounds is pretty much a free +15% block for both offensive and defensive purposes and Finery...well gems are truly truly outrageous, and I have lots of them. Alternatively you can choose Holy Cause if you have a holy weapon, that way you can do tons of damage and heal too.
Lawls: Lawls of Valor - Critical: For when you want to make cause your Nuclear explosive damage to become SUPER NOVAS!
Lawls of Justice - Immovable Object: - For when you need ALOT of mitigation to survive delicious Torment VI mobs!
Lawls of Hope -Faith's Reward -For those who are already tanky as hell to become practically invulnerable with healing! Or you can go with Time Stop and literally be invulnerable!
Itemization and Paragon Points:
What to aim for in Specific Tiers:
1. Strength 2. Critical Hit and Damage then attack speed 3. All Resistance then Armor 4. Vitality and Life+ (includes all forms of healing)
Balance 2 and 3 out obviously, a DPS is worthless dead, and a tank can only do so much to control the Mobs, the best CC is DEATH!
Well, the formatting looks nothing like the preview showed, and I can't delete and start over...and it doesn't seem to fix itself no matter what I do, guess I'll just leave this eye rape here and forget this whole thing ever happened.
HELLO! I am mighty LuBu (#1403)! I recently came back to playing D3 again ever since I quit after soloing Inferno in the first few weeks. Words in Luo Yang is that the game is much better now and they are bringing in Crusaders; my favorite class in Ragnarok Online! I got so excited I just have to pretend to be sick and skip work so I can shield chain and grand cross MVPs to death and be a general menace to society! I killed so many people, but for some reason, people say crusaders are sucky! I do not believe this, so I decide to make a guide so that others may benefit from the chaotic death I've recently brought upon the world!
TL;DR THE BUILD
What this build does is basically turn you into an unstoppable JUGGERNAUT BITCH! that blocks every small attack while healing and EXPLODING! Fun for the whole family! My current stats allows me to clear T3 with relative ease (Though DPS might be a little on the low-end), I am virtually invulnerable T2 and below (Where every hit will heal me instead)
Punish - Roar / Celerity: Bread and butter, gives block chance for mitigation (and healing with Renewal). Roar will cause you to perpetually EXPLODE! While Celerity helps builds up wrath for Shield Chain Spam...and the actual spamming itself...
Blessed Shield (Shield Chain) - Shattering Throw: This skill is much more useful than one may think. The most important (and hilariously annoying) characteristic is that it will fly all over the place and hits next to a million things and generates the most annoying clanking you will learn to enjoy. Why is it good? Because combined with Holy Causeit will heal you quite nicely, and will cause quite a bit of damage while you have Provoke - Charged up active. Best used with this little toy. Enjoy Rapid Smiting your enemies to death with it.
Provoke - Charged up / Cleanse:Provoke is a wonderful skill. It builds up Wrath, keeps enemies off your friends, and help you do massive damage. With Charged up every damage you do will add another 50% lightning damage such as: Shield Chain and EXPLOSIONS with the side-effect of bundling them up for you to do even more damage! Cleanse is for when you want to tank more seriously; it will significantly increase your life on hit if you were to provoke a rather large hostile mob...
Condemn - Vaccum: Suck up all the enemies looking to stab your friends in the ass and BLOW THEM UP! ...enough said.
Lawls: Justice - Faith's Armor for Mitigation, Valor - Critical if you are in no danger and want to turn into a lawn mower.
Ultimate: If you are like me and have a Mortal Drama then you will enjoy Bombardment. I use mine with Annihilate because my crit chance is rather meh,but Impactful Bombardment will be better once you have a bigger crit chance. On the other hand, if you managed to get a Fate of the Fell then feel free to rain down the LIGHT OF JUDGMENT and terrorize the world as Kefka once did. (It also does holy damage which will heal you even more) Or if you like, feel free to abuse Cooldowns with Akarat's Champion - Rally: This build is made to see numbers, so all your skills will be refreshed before you even know it! More mitigation! More Damage! MORE EXPLOSIONS!
Other Skills: Steed is great if you have no CC reduction and need an escape plan (Although I'd personally never take it because I am NOT afraid), Iron Skin - Steel Skin will get you out of sticky situations...or you can just blow up with EXPLOSIVE SKIN...
Passives:
Heavenly Strength is a no-brainer (outside of amazing 1 handers),Holy Cause allows you to heal with shield chain and will give you a hefty DPS increase especially if you have a holy weapon. Renewal heals you every time you block, either mitigating or healing you outright while Hold your Ground pretty much gives you 15% block for free and an obvious synergy with Renewal.
Gears
I actually don't know what all the uniques and set items are myself, but I prioritize/enchant whatever drops I find with this here Tier List:
1. Funny OP Set/Unique effects
2. All resistance and/or other mitigating factors like block, up to 75%
3. Strength
4. Crit chance and damage - Yes I know.....but I just love seeing big numbers and killing things quickly
5. Life on Hit or other healing Mechanisms
6. Vit, Life %, CC Reduction - Fake stuff that makes my toughness looks tough.
