Crusader
The Crusader arrived with Reaper of Souls — a heavily armoured holy knight who wields flails and shields, spends Wrath, and stands as the sturdiest class in Diablo III.
Resource: Wrath
Wrath is generated by primary skills and spent on holy burst abilities.
Signature skills
- Blessed Hammer — spiralling hammers, echoing the Diablo II Paladin.
- Fist of the Heavens and Heaven's Fury — holy lightning and beams.
- Shield Bash, Sweep Attack and the Akarat's Champion ultimate.
How he plays
Buff with laws, wade in behind a shield, and unleash holy damage. Sets like Roland's, Seeker of the Light and Aegis of Valor push very different flail, hammer or Fist-of-the-Heavens builds.
Common approaches
- Blessed Hammer — dense area damage.
- Aegis of Valor — top-tier Fist of the Heavens pushing.
- Bombardment — Akkhan Condemn and thrown builds.
