Slowly level my Cru to lvl40.

I have been away from town for 3 days. The Internet connection here sucks big time.

You have insane HP.

But you have very low AR.
IMO, it's not ideal.
I'd go for AR > Armor > HP.

guys, just being a devil's advocate here. but, honestly, why is everyone so focused on DPS as a crusader? Is that the way to go? People are judging me based on my 400k dps, but when I blast out my 40% crit chance and 500% crit damage + fate of the fell + heaven fury...i'm doing 15-16m crit per beam!

they are like, what are you doing in torment 3? ur dps is shit. but, i have no problem facerolling t3....

am i doing something wrong here?

is DPS really important for crusaders when majority of your damage are Holy or a certain spell (which you can roll/gamble) ? at the end of the day, i don't care about my melee, i'm just generating wrath to blast my heaven's fury,

pls correct me if i'm wrong ya coz we are all here to LEARN

Perhaps they expect you to have 1m DPS + 3 beams + 100% skill buff + 40% additional damage against elites?

Nothing wrong to have more DPS.
Yes, it's important. And you know I don't refer to paper DPS.

Crusader is the best class for now.
No other class can come close to Cru's burst damage, not even Wiz (meh, 20 secs burst damage but 120 sec cool down)

i know it's not the best, but for me 40 mil from bombardment is whack: True story.

Can't imagine someone with mortal drama "Double the bombardment"
"80+ mil" *shudder*

Don't know why people whine about dps. it's not meant to play like a wizard. That's why there is a wizard class. I'd be damned if the crusader could output DPS like a wizard, yet have shield block, and burst AOE at the same time

Who whined about dps? We all have not enough dps. No?

Blizzard crusader forums la...hehe, never enough dps eh...

Oh hey Aleune, yesterday your barb keep doing that green thing, my bro actually didn't realize a set item dropped....only ran back after noticing a star on minimap lol sweat.gif

It wasn't me. I didn't play co-op game with my barb yesterday.
I remembered I played solo to level my barb to lvl70.
Or was it me? Can't recall. laugh.gif

Seriously, burst damage of Crusader @ 40-50m is plain OP.
No class can do that. Most of the class can do like 5-10million, it is just lame as compared to Crusader.

Sigh... Witch Doctors need some love.

He is our forum member. Guess he wants to stay low profile (Am I right?) since he didn't post in Crusader thread.

Been running many times in 4-player co-op game @ T3.
Killing 90% of elites at the T3 rift below 5 seconds in 4-player game. You can roughly know the damage per hit he can dish out.

wow i'm impressed  drool.gif  hope to learn from him  nod.gif  just need more info sadly....

I'm also t3 ing now. T4 is doable but i don't think group dps can do it as fast as doing t3s.

i can only begin to imagine what sort of gear it would take for t6..... and i always come back to 1 single conclusion what it would take....

grandeur royalty ring, using a mixture of more than 1 class set item sets  shocking.gif

For T6, imo, DPS is not the biggest concern.
Toughness is.

I tested T6 with my wiz, 1m DPS & 20m toughness (8.5K armor / 2.5k AR).
No problem in killing. But it's damn pain hit by elites.

It is a buff and nerf.

Anyway, no worries, Cru is Blizz' flagship char. It just can't be failed.

Crus got sidelined in terms of gear potential ....
Barb IK set - wear 3 to unlock all set bonus
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/immortal-kings-eternal-reign

Raekor 4 piece to unlock all set bonus
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/raekors-heart

And yes can combine both set. to one degree or another to unlock some of their bonuses together.
Crusader akkhan set 5 pieces to unlock full set....
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/breastplate-of-akkhan

meaning.... we can only choose either to use 1 different piece for shoulder, helm, pants, chest, boots, gloves ........
shoulder - zakara, homing pads

helm - mempos, helm of rule, andariels

pants - hex, stink pants

boots - ice climbers .....

gloves - magefists .......
So out of all those choices, you will only be able to wear 1 custom piece. assuming you use the royalty grandeur ring, and you intend to get the full set bonus for akkhans.

This is our crusader situation right now. So compare that to barbarian and understand that they have more options to use MORE unique gear and still unlock full set bonus. Including wearing a partial 2nd set raekor which isn't bad at all.
PS: didn't bother to include invoker set  rolleyes.gif not worth considering unless your a thorn build (and intend to use sanguiary vambraces), which i am not.
also our phalanx isn't like witch doctor and barb minions where they can stay until they die. we weren't given that option  sweat.gif

Irrelevant, as long as Crusader has the highest burst damage skill.
For me, it's not even a concern.
