Just wanted to inform you fellow crusaders .... expect great things patch v2.1 .... of particular interest to our class.
QUOTE
Crusader specific
Invoker Set was originally intended to be a Crusader set as Thorns was a larger theme for Crusaders
The devs are working on a new Crusader set that will buff Phalanx or Shield Bash
general interest
Old Legendaries are going to get revamped in 2.1, but not retroactively, so hoarding them now is pointless
Details about Legendary Gems are coming 'very soon' in a blog post
The aforementioned Legendary gems will most probably fit into Rings and Amulets
The so-called "Hellfire Amulet" will come with 2.1
Hellfire Amulet will unlock a randomly rolled Passive for your class
I'm hoping the new set buffs would...
1. make phalanx more like immortal king (that isn't reliant on CDR or recasts for phalanx....). Because the current akkhan set is CDR based, so that pretty much sums up that CDR is 99.99% in all Crusader builds...
2. hoping shield bash becomes more viable so as not to be trumped by a heavens fury shotgun build. But at the same time i hope they don't try to nerf HF shotgun to make it as weak as the current shield bash builds.
i envision a shield bash via set would have to have a much wider area of damage that would be competitive against the current shotgun and firestarter builds.... somewhere in between the 2.....
it would also make better use of justice lantern, helm of command and shield of westfall aka wolf shield.
what this all means is..... not much point farming now because some legends will be changing and it won't be retroactive..... so if you've got decent gear like me, not much point other than...
1. working on achievements
2. getting more paragorn (though kinda pointless once you've hit 600+ )
