Akkhan Condemn Crusader

[Guest guest]

I'm so confused, which skill consumes wrath? Condemn doesn't use up any wrath..

Take a look at the shield.  The shield int he build turned Condemn's CD into wrath spender.  The sword makes it a good combo.  Both the sword and the shield, if you have them equipped, gives % condemn damages, so it's better to have them equip rather than cubed.  If your items of the sword/shield doesn't have +% damage to condemn, you may have an older version and need to get a new one.

Just curious about the priority of gemming in the pants and torso. Right now I have flawless rubys in all 5 slots. Should i be substituting some for diamonds? Otherwise its a great build thanks for posting !

I'd transition in a setup of 3 Rubies/2 Diamonds for moderately hard content, and full Diamonds when I try to push the build to its GR limits.

Hello, would you still recommend Mirinae, Teardrop of the Starweaver over Bane of the Powerful ?

 

And why?

[Guest Moshu]

Hello, three questions:

 

1. Why use Mirinae, Teardrop of the Starweaver instead of Bane of the Powerful?

2. Why not recommend Holy Damage % on amulet before crit chance and damage ? If my theory crafting is any good, keeping in mind the build does "only" holy damage, 20% extra Holy damage translates directly into a 1.2 DMG coefficient which far exceeds the benefits of 10% crit or 100% crit dmg

3. If the above is correct, on bracers +% Holy becomes the single most important stat -> to be taken before all else.

 

Thank you!

[Deadset 108]

Hello!

 

Mirinae was recommended as means to combat the poor sustain of the build, as well as for its elementally synergistic damage proc. Bane of the Powerful remains a viable alternative if you feel your sustain is at a good place.

 

Due to the damage sources interact in D3 (their separation into categories additive within themselves, and some categories being larger than others) Holy damage is not always better than Crit stats - though cases exist depending on gear balance! I highly recommend inputting your gear and making a personalized choice. Or you can use this as an example: http://www.d3planner.com/112715325, and adjust stats around to see their influence!

Weapon

1. Socket (preferably from Ramaladni's Gift)
2. Weapon Damage
3. Strength

4. Cooldown Reduction
5. Condemn %

 

Hi,

 

i'm trying out this guide and i was wondering if this might be missing + 10% Damage as a priority for the weapon or if there is another stat that i am not seeing.

 

Cheers

Hello! The priority simply lists obtaining a socket, high base weapon damage, Strength, CDR and a high Condemn % roll as priority. If I were to list a 6th, it would probably be Area damage, and % damage as 7th.

that build better

[Guest Paul]

I'm looking at the Stat Priorities in gear slots for Weapon specifically.  It says to prioritize "damage". Is he talking about the stat that says +6-10% damage or the stat that says +1177-1788 Damage?  

 

My weapon rolled with arcane damage, is he saying to reroll that for for basic non-elemental damage, or to re roll it for the percent damage?

[Guest Guest Sean]

So out of curiosity, what legendary potion would you recommend, and why? I like Bottomless Potion of Regeneration, but I'm not sure if another might be better.

I like this build a lot but I am currently stuck at GR 68 with 680 paragon points. My Gems are level 62

What level have others got to?

Ive pretty much followed build to the letter. any suggestions.Not all my gear is ancient yet.

Heya, in this specific case I'm referencing the weapon damage range (the XXXX - XXXX numbers). It is only desirable to have a high range, do not worry about a specific elemental damage range type.

As for potions, I prefer the Bottomless Potion of Diamond for Strength classes, to balance out their naturally high Armor with a spike of All Resistance. Potions rarely make a meaningful difference though.

On the question of viability, I'm certain the build is capable of breaking GR80+.

First off I'm new to diablo. So this is the first build I completed, I was power lvled by my friends and learned the game after I was lvl 70. 

The highest grift  I can push is 55 solo

I have all the pieces recommended in the build aside from my furnace in the cube

Paper Damage - 580k 

Paper Toughness  25m ( 55m while in Akarats Champion) 

My CDR is at 56% 

Only have one ancient (weapon)

Also most importantly a lot of my gear could be rolled better.  

Edit----I'm paragon 410

You might want to update the build as it is still has Taeguk as a gem choice. With the changes to it being only useful for channeling it's no longer viable as a gem.

Hello,

Where do you see me asking for help? I was replying to another post asking how far everyone has been able to push the crusader condemn build, but thanks for your input. 

Maybe since you are from France, english is not your first language but I urge you to READ what I wrote. Again thanks for your input although nobody asked....

Sorry :( I'm a bit tired and I read through your post too fast :)

[Guest Totonka]

I have been using this build for a really long time and have used this page to help me hone it so first of all a massive thanks for the great tips! Despite loving the play style I found the damage a bit lack luster but only recently discovered the shield and sword were reworked to give a massive total of 300% more damage to condemn! I reforged both and now am easily clearing rank 55 greater rifts in about 5-6 minutes so looking forward to seeing just how far I can push this build!

[Guest Guest]

So just to clarify, to do this build you need the shield from season 1, which means if you didn't get that shield in season 1 this build is completely useless (ie you are limited to 1 condemn per 15 seconds)?

The shield is available in the normal game now.  It may have been a seasonal drop to begin with (I don't remember) but either way, the seasonal items are added to the full game once the season is over.  I got my Frydehr's Wrath just a couple months ago.

[Guest Guest Guest]

Oh thanks for clarifying that Warden, much appreciated!

You're welcome!

It's funny--in the three days since I posted that, I've had 4 or 5 more of those shields drop.  Granted, I've never played a crusader much before, so maybe it's just a really common shield and I don't know it.  But it made me laugh... :D

Definitely common! Akarat's Awakening on the other hand... :D

[Guest Davez]

Hi Deadset!

Condemn is my favorite skill since the first time playing crusader. I've collected the gear requirement for this build, but I'm using Leoric Crown in the cube instead of the recomended Illusory boots because I need the Leoric Crown to reach permanent Akarat Champion up time. 

However I just managed to clear GR 65 with 3 minutes left. Toughness is my biggest issue, I died 2 times on GR 65. My health after investing 120 paragon point on Vitality is 700K. 

Please help me improve, I want to push to GR 75 with this build. Here is my character : http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Davez-6828/hero/72612118

PS : The cube power is still not updated. I use Furnace, Leoric and unity in the cube.
