Falling sword with cam's rebuttal is a ton of nuke fun.

Fire crusader with FotH - Heaven's Tempest, bombardment and superheated is fun.

Holy crusader, fotf + hallowed(holy%) or lidless(holy%, aspd, rcr) or hellskull(cdr, 10%dmg). Full set akkhan's Shotgun build = 0 builder easy game.

Lightning can seriously consider FS as their main nuke now.

If you are still going to use BS, then shattering throw is still arguably the better rune.

Combust can only bounce 1 target and cannot bounce back, it only has a chance to cause more damage.

Let's say there is 4-5 mobs, combust clears is faster.

10+ mobs? Shattering throw still uncontested.

Full set akkhan's defeats the purpose of Gyrfalcon's as well. I tried a 0 builder BS build with Akkhan's and it's basically a 2handed Gyrfalcon's.

I'd stick to holy if I were you. No matter how viable Fire build is now, I still think holy wins hands down.

No, I was saying, with full Akkhan's you don't even need Gyr's because your wrath regen faster than you spend as long as AC is active. And still benefit from passives like wrathful too.

Only thing gyr's still has is prolly ASPD and a bit more CD (with fervor). But with movement speed reduction reduced, and AC reworked (much better wrath regen), I cannot see 1hander contesting 2hander at all.

No worries. Holy cause buffs all dmg now. I rerolled my fotf to holy dmg but after patch last night the first thing I do is try to get higher dmg, disregarding what element I get.

Kadala, Cache. It's MUCH easier than before where the whole loot table is random and when a green boot drops you get a BT and not knowing when is the next green you'll see. With kadala, you will get it. Perhaps even more BT in between but you are only getting BOOTS leg from her until you see an akkhan. Good luck.

1H is not utterly useless I think, I was just saying you can still get 0 wrath cost (regen back) with a 2hander while throwing shields and get much higher dmg in the cost of lower ASPD. Which is why Fervor is there, the only thing 1Hand has in advantage now is ASPD, so fervor gives you ASPD AND CDR. They can compete with 2hander with a very different play style. I didn't test enough to know yet but I'll get my 1hander builds starting tonight.


Sidenote : BoP is still good. And there is a different type of BoP build now with falling sword and such. Basically you need to use all your skills then activate akarat's then use all your skills again. Then start spender-ing and rinse and repeat.

Not a bug.

1. Original BS only bounces on 1 target and will not bounce back.

2. Shattering throw does not have the bounce but rather, is split into 3 BUT has the tendency to bounce back.

er.... LPH and IAS is a fixed stat in RoRG, no matter how you reroll you can never get chc, chd, cdr, str. Yours is good enough.

All pro crusaders...

Go to bread and butter aughild's, BT, Cain. If you want the BT full set then disregard cain, Aughild's is pretty much a requirement. 15% e dmg reduce is better than 100AR + 20%life.

Hang in there fellow monk, you're still the best one to group with.

Current meta, shotgun to win.

If you ever tasted T6 of any class, you know what's gear dependant is.

Crusader was VERY VERY gear dependant even at mid levels. But that's pre-2.0.4. We're more.. balanced now.

Not really.

Here's the thing, let me run you down real quick.

2.0.4 mashieldgun and AC + BOP was the end game shit. They can clear whatever shit u shat on them. I was running shotgun and did pretty well as well. Hell I thought that was crusader's salvation then.

2.0.5 nerf to mashieldgun, nerf to AC + BOP (make it totally not viable, over nerf imo). Buff shotgun back to previous damage.

That is like 2 main builds, 1 sub-par to that sub-par become main and that 2 becomes sub-par.

They can't just have a balance between those builds for example, minor nerf to rally and mashieldgun, but buff shotgun, fire, lightning, 30% reduction.

Fire is fun though, something I used to say "Fire is fun on T1/2 but that's that" doesn't work like that anymore. In fact I'm running a fire mashildgun build, when I'm lazy to manage wrath. It's not bad.

Why choose. When you can hotswap?

Harrington is better because of the defensive options that came with it.
Str, Vit, AR, Life% and a proper tile set like battlefields of eternity nets you a constant 1xx% dmg increase yet able to survive difficult mob types.

Swap TWH when RG spawns.

If you met a tileset that has almost no clickables, then use TWH. Simple isn't it?

Only retards will roll ias out of TWH. If I need defensive, I go harrington's. Tile set is the deciding factor, not the build.
