At this point Blizz hates the Crusader. You want to play the crusader in any PVP match ups just get ready for pain and frustration even at higher reso.
How can it be that we have toons that can disappear, go un-targetable, turn to ghosts,fully re- gen health/shields, are immune to CC, and have mobility while still having decent dps with the ability to damage you. Meanwhile the crusader needs a 20 and 30 second cool downs on the only shields we have and piss poor dps. It’s just pathetic.
Thanks for the reworked essences we finally have some mobility but then you take away 45% skill damage while mounted. This makes no sense. The only character in the entire game that actually carries a shield, has no shields and no re-gen for shields. We have no mobility, no cc or cc immunity, no dps, no shields, no re gen. Are you trying to get rid of the Crusader? Fix this already we need variable PVP essences that include mobility without a reduction in skill damage. It’s sad at this point how terrible the crusader is in PVP. The circle build is dead, the new horse build is already dead, it’s too weak. We need some love Blizz, you do it for every other class.
Everyone, after a BG match when you get a survey start telling them how bad the crusader is and how we need better essences. I’ve been doing it since the surveys started.
