}

Big Thanks to everybody that makes these profiles. I appreciate it. Any suggestions or comments are welcome

That's very good run getting 8.8 legendary/hour. It is impressive to manage only 1 death with 350k+ life. So your crusader has less than 400k life ?

negative, I am over 400k life and 700+ resists. I just put a lower baseline because it is runnable without that high stats

I'm running indestructible and Im still averaging 1death/hr. Do you have any specific settings for steed charge?

 

[johnz45]

A couple of questions:
1. Can you clarify why you have the bowman? Just seems odd. I'm running shield glare which can be used quite a lot with the 56+ CDR.
2. Also, without getting cdr on weap, it's too hard to get 56 CDR unless you use rorg and put on captain crimson's set or have cdr on the ammy.
3. How are you maintaining your wrath during combat without using unstoppable force valor? Looks like you are using critical.

 

[stud4fun]

What is your Darklight weapon DPS and sheet damage without buff?

 

[Alewyne]

Where does "Darklight" drop? Any ACT prefered or does it drop everywhere?

And for the build: Is any minimum DPS needed?

I'm running indestructible and Im still averaging 1death/hr. Do you have any specific settings for steed charge?

No I don't. I feel like steed charge is very unoptimized and could use alot of work. I am using the immunity necklaces with gearswap. I also changed the gearswap settings so that it prioritizes Fire>Arcane>Lightning>Cold>Poison. This makes a huge difference. I also have Attempt to avoid AoE checked and very good gear rolls. Also, check out how much Health Globe bonus you have because it effects the healing from wrathful significantly. Aim for 3-4 Health globe secondary rolls on your gear

3. How are you maintaining your wrath during combat without using unstoppable force valor? Looks like you are using critical.

1. I use bowman because he spams it and there is no animation time. Shield Glare might be better not really sure i'll try to test it sometime.
2. It is kind of an issue because if your CDR isn't maxed it will try to cast FOH in the downtime for the full wrath cost running you out of wrath
3. As far as wrath problems go high CDR + taunt + Reaper Wraps (I also have a decent amount of pickup radius) pretty much fixes it. It only runs out on the rift guardian.

What is your Darklight weapon DPS and sheet damage without buff?

Darklight ~2200 Str 10 CDR socket
I have 700k+ profile DPS and ~2 million elite elemental

Where does "Darklight" drop? Any ACT prefered or does it drop everywhere?

And for the build: Is any minimum DPS needed?

Darklight drops anywhere

Depending on your gear level it may be preferable to do T5. It isn't only DPS because your toughness, cooldown, immunity necklaces, and other factors play a role in determining the difficulty level.

 

[blu]

I just tested law of valor - unstoppable force last night and it did significantly worse then law of valor - critical.

It seems the unstoppable force cuts my wrathful healing in half then he ends up dying more as a result

 

[johnz45]

I experimented around a bit too as I don't have good enough of a weap, only 2000 dps with 7 cdr. Wasn't really sold on wrathful healing. Got similar results.

Nice you should share build as well. Wrathful works for me but its always good to have different builds/setups that work

 

[Alewyne]

Where do I find use "Akarats ooc"? @ Settings -> Crusader i cant find. Still in Trinity 1.97?

 

[blu]

Where do I find use "Akarats ooc"? @ Settings -> Crusader i cant find. Still in Trinity 1.97?

Trinity Settings --> Combat tab--> Crusader --> Right next to use steed charge OOC (I am using Trinity 1.98)

 

[Alewyne]

Then i obviously need a new trinity, coz there is no positom. thx

 

[pocketaces82]

Would it be possible to run it with Fotf or furnace over darklight?

Or maximus mainhand and furnace on enchantress follower?

Darklight is the one and only leg i don't have for sader.

 

[TwoCigars]

To anyone who is missing the Akarats off cooldown checkbox, DL the new BETA and you will be fine. There was a non-patch update at some point that added it.

 

[stud4fun]

Blue,

Have you compared with Fate of the fell or Furnace with your Darklight? I haven't compared those three major crusader weapons side by side in Rift or bounty. If you did, could you tell us about it? it will be greatly appreciated.
