Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

Crusader builds are pretty boring so far. The seeker set is a huge spike in damage at 4pc nd giant at 6pc. Stcuk at 2 pieces right now any grinding rifts is slow. Mob packs are fast but single target dps is dreadful.

Gonna give it another go tonight and see if I can get some drops. If not, maybe try another class or go back to wizard.

I did get a weapon that makes blessed shield free to cast. Seems like I can't get anything to work with it.

Also got a blade of prophecy. I have no idea what good this weapon is for.

Yeah that's why I tested Crusader before S4 started and then decided I'm not touching the class. It's one of the few classes that doesn't have ANY good 2pc bonus. On top of that, the base power level of the class is quite frankly shit. Like my WD at 70 with a 70 weapon and a mix of 61 to 68 yellow armor was clearing T1 rifts relatively quickly, but as a Crusader, you clear shit slow even on fucking master until you get some ele% gear and your crit%/critdmg up and all that shit. And then on the WD, if you get 2pc Arachyr or 2pc Helltooth, you're straight ready for T3, T4 if you also dropped any legendary weapon. And that's true for most classes really, though some only have 1set with 2pc that's a huge jump. And then on top of that even once you start getting gear, you still have the shittiest mobility, which means you always farm slower than other classes regardless. The class just feels really unpolished and it's kinda surprising that Blizzard hasn't done shit since it's most likely the least played class. Then again that's maybe why they haven't done shit.

Blade of Prophecy was good for Akkan build iirc, you use the reset rune and just run around spamming it while doing super high damage.

I just dropped dogs, as I didn't feel I was benefiting much from them. Leeching is based on LoH, so I can't see it being that useful. I am farming t6 but had to pick up spirit vessel and walk. I just got 4 pc helltooth before logging last night so going to rework my build.

Would any higher end WDs be able to take a look? Without 6 pc I feel like I have to keep the pets. The passives arent my norm, I changed them last night before logging.

With 4pc helltooth you won't need the pets anymore, you're pretty tanky as long as you fire wall every 15secs at least(and you definitely should). Also gamble for bracers to get jeram bracers, it's a huge damage boost. Then again I guess you might want to gamble for 6pc helltooth instead, gamble chest/legs first, helm is annoying since there's a ton of stuff on that slot. Don't use explosive beast on zombies, use bears, they're a bit annoying to use at times, but they do a lot more damage since there's 3 bears per cast. If you need to be even tankier, get Harvest Soul - Languish, it adds 15% int so that's a nice dmg boost as well as some all resist and it gives 30% armor too, so it makes you quite a lot tankier and adds dmg, much better than garg or fetish without a SMK. Drop swampland attunement, get jungle fortitude if you feel you need to tank, swampland is terrible unless you have high density of stuff that doesn't die quick(high GRs) and you need a good amount of globe range to even get any benefit from it unless you're hugging the mobs.

Oh and start gearing your templar, even int gear isn't too bad, he won't do shit for damage but the important part are the skills, they're a lot better than the enchantress stuff, for the most part. The life regen and emergency heals are really good, and he actually tanks stuff for you too quite often.

Overall I feel you put too much emphasis on survivability and not enough on damage. Maybe you're play on a torment level higher than you should, but you shouldn't really need that much stuff. Also for efficiency for example a passive like Fierce Loyalty or the speed from Harvest Souls Soul to Waste do a lot more for you, movespeed is easily one of the most important stat. Even Grave Injustice to reset your spiritwalk every pack.

Right, it just spits out L70 legendaries.

Ah I see, didn't know it worked like that, guess that makes sense. Oh well. And yeah for the mats, the cube has a recipe to convert 100 of one type into another with 1death breath and 1 item(item quality is the items you're converting to, you can just buy vendor blues to get blue mats for example).


Leveling on hard feels so slow, but don't really want to bump difficulty on hardcore. Powerleveling channel is only people asking for powerlvling and none offering on HC too.
