Crusader Speed Builds

In the spirit of the holiday patch, I’ve made an effort to revisit a few speed builds on non-season. Here’s what I’m experiencing while cruising through GR120s:

  1. LoD Bomb: 2:00-3:30
  2. AoV6 FotH: 2:45-3:30
  3. A6 Bowmen: 3:00-3:45

From an ease of play, Akkhan Bowmen is smooth and consistent. AoV FotH while fast, is most prone to death. LoD Bomb w/ In-Geom is the clear winner because it packs power which you can quickly unload on the elite – it is also the most durable.

There is an unexplored option of taking Akkhan Bombardment with Rally, which could be amazing for speeds too with constant bomb spam – it has enough damage to solo clear GR140, but I never tried it in a speed scenario. Today I will cobble it together and report back on the results.

Which builds are you using to farm gifts?

Fist of Heavens GR 130 in 4:20 lol. 120s usually 12: something left.
Its much more entertaining than the rest.

Yes, it was great for speeds. Too bad they didn’t do anything with those 2 other angelics.

The fist power adds significant damage. I was doing a quickie 115 one time and didnt put in a sanctified item and it felt like a 130. If I can figure out the lag I think its easily 150 capable to 4k paragon players.
The angels got too gimped out. Haven’t given the blessed hammer one any real time yet. I guess it could be used with LoD thornes if you wanted to range instead of melee. Got some nice seeker items banked but I don’t see it adding much there.
