I just got this for my enchantress and am wondering something.
Does the "You follower cannot die" part mean i can enchant away all her vitality/health regen (on all her equipment and the focus) and change everything for damage instead?, if she can't die doesn't that mean she needs no longer needs defensive stats?.
Just curious.
Correct. As far as I can tell, your follower becomes invulnerable. I have one of those on my Templar and I have not seen his hp bar flinch since equipping it. I need to find him a thunder fury or something.

It seems to be additive on gear, then multiplicative when it hits the skill. In your example, it would be (.11+.12+.10+.20)(200) + 200, for a total of 306% hammer damage. Stacking skill and element damage is very powerful.
Quick q - got a wizard to level 30 today, still not sure about a decent levelling build....any tips?

Or better yet, Condemn first then Falling Sword. If you use the Vacuum rune, it will pull enemies to your targeted landing spot while you're in the air. And after you land, it will pull them right back in after Falling Sword knocks them back.

Gaf crusader squad i want one effective build for tanky dps and One for pure dps..
Can anyone help me on this?
Haven't played it EVER (got mine rushed to 70 by a friend) so before trying to go at it randomly i'd like some solid build to build some confidence with the class

Yeah okay I had my suspicions but this confirms it, this is goooood. But this also means that it's almost only really worth it if you have more than one piece for that specific ability.
This doesn't work that well because the default radius on condemn is far smaller than the knock away range of falling sword. Soooooo to get this to work you need the timing skills and prediction levels of a new type to the point that you can time the vacuum tick of condemn to occur the exact same second that falling sword pushes enemies away. It's better to use shattering explosion to just catch more enemies as they're getting knocked around with the burst, assuming that both of them are going off at the same time.

I did the same thing. I tried hard to make my Crusader work, but even with 650k dps, killing stuff seemed to take forever.
So apparently the +dmg% affix & +(X-Y)elemental dmg affix not affecting non-black dmg is a bug, and will be fixed according to this thread..

I'd like to add Falling Sword to my rotations but ... no Holy Damage option. Same for Bombardment. And Phalanx. And...
I totally agree with your point although you could've picked a better example (The Barber has crit damage which doesn't roll on rare daggers). Feels like half the legendary jewelry is like this
Harrington's are incredible--dead bodies, weapon racks etc. all count as "chests" for the purpose of the proc so you will have it up pretty often. There aren't very many items that grant twice the DPS as the next best item in the slot. Feels awesome to save up a bunch of racks and bodies in an open space when you get close to triggering a rift guardian and then vault around like an idiot to keep proccing Harrington's when he spawns.
Fucking Crusaders need a better spread of element types to their runes so we have more options for elemental builds. Shit is really dumb and heavily favors Physical right now.
Also wish Falling Sword had a Holy option. Make it the reduced cooldown rune and call it "Holy Diver" or some shit haha

Cyclone definitely gives me a high uptime on its own for sure, but I also run Scorpion Sting and between that and my mantra, there are times that I'd rather not spend spirit on CS.
Regardless, I'd use SB for its on-crit coefficient anyways.
No, you get him a unity, then get yourself a unity, then proceed to never die.

Holy crap on a cracker! + elemental and + skill damage is huge. My initial cluser arrow blast hits for 1372 % damage. Each grenade hits for 392 % damage, so if all 4 hit one target, that's 2940 % damage. Holy F. No wonder I mow down things like a drunken whore.

So yeah had a group of people doing a T6 bounty. The one where you have to clear hellfire rift level 2. Gives you great XP and gold as in before starting I was at 6m gold and a couple hours later I was at 16m. If anyone is down for trying it out going to try to form a group to go at it in a bit.
If you're not in main clan drop your bt here (I'll be streaming the runs), other wise just PM me in game (plbelanger)

It seems odd to me that they have so few holy skills with the crusader being a holy warrior.
Holy Diver could run the risk of copyright issues, but they could go with something similar like....Divine Plunger

Whaaaa? theres no way Blizz would let that happen. Im pretty sure you would take half the damage he takes, he just never loses hit points. That would game breakingly absurd if that happened. Shit, now I need to find a 2nd unity. I found one last night.
haha what
The plumber that Sanctuary deserves.

Yeah it's kind of frustrating actually, especially when most of their thunder/fire skills are superior.
If you ask me we should just call it Divine Diver. It's a shame that it's so close to being really good alliteration ;_; I love good alliteration.

I get tons of 2h (to the point where I just crafted hallowed 1 handers till I found a decent one) on my wizard and witch doctor
hell my enchantress has a 2700 dps maximus now and i've salvaged more 2h's than you can shake a stick at
also :
anyone?
As far as I can tell, the follower simply takes 0 damage.

I don't know what to tell you; I've never had a problem with it. I've never even seen it happen. I don't have them go "off at the same time" though; Condemn goes off 0.5-1s after Falling Sword lands, and the Vacuum ticks before Condemn goes off.

man, Im out of the loop. Have no idea whats up with this ring?

I wonder if it has something to do with attack speed affecting the rate at which things tick and our attack speeds are just different enough that I get screwed and you don't lmao.
I really like the interaction of Condemn + Falling Sword for the vacuum in the air. It's pretty sick to see enemies still dragged along with you while they get explodeded then landed on, or vice versa.
Are these values for those crafting mats that the purple monsters drop for crafting Legendaries?
Seem really low, should be at least twice as high for all values. Not even as good as the values for the Hellfire Ring drops.
Ugh yea, those values are ass. Would definitely explain why it feels like torture at times.
Just like 75% of the playerbase!

That's what I believe it is. Seems pretty close to accurate. I farmed the mat for a quiver and killed the 2 guys about 20 times or so combined and only got 1.
eidt: I was on T1 while doing it.
FYI clusters cannot hit an enemy more than once

Friend just linked this to me on the way out of work and I just had to see it.
http://www.twitch.tv/goodideagaming/b/516636725
In the first two seconds of this video you see him crit for one billion three hundred and seventy eight million four hundred and fourteen thousand and eighty damage
that's
1,378,414,080 damage on a single tick of what looks like is disintegrate with the cone rune.
YO DUDE WHAT IS THAT?!
He must have perfect rolls on crit damage and arcane damage and disintegrate in every possible slot.

Now it makes complete fucking sense.
I've been farming the Living Flame crafting mat for hours the other day so I can craft Cinder Switch for my crusader. Didn't get one drop. This was on normal btw. Will move up to T1 tonight to try again.
I see how it'll play out already though. Farm the mat for 3 hours, craft legendary, get shit rolls, then massive tears.
What do you want to know? What to spec? What stats to go for?
You need Phys % damage, Boost to Fan of Knives %, Grenade/Bolas %.
Sash of Knives is a great legendary to start with.
Also, you'll need a sick 1H and Shield. I recommend getting anything that has a proc (snicker, thunderfury). Shard of Hate is amazing for the class. Coven's Criterion is probably the best shield for a melee DH (I have one).
Use Vault, Shuriken Cloud, and two other abilities (your choice). Primary is Grenades/Bolas, Secondary is Fan of Knives (the rune that makes it a hatred spender).
I personally use Vengeance + Seethe for Hatred regen, and Companion(Wolf) for extra 30% damage buff. Currently using Vault with Arrows rune because they're physical and auto crits.
Passives are Blood Vengeance (SO GOOD), Tactical Advantage (placement is key on a melee DH, as is running away from death), Cull the Weak (a FOK with a FOK right after it does double damage, you can cast two within the span of a second), and Ambush. Ambush makes it so the whites pretty much explode on two FOK hits.
